The room where they administer the infusion is also the same room where cancer patients come to get their treatments. It's made me very anxious the first time because of this. You feel so bad so many people suffering by your side. Meanwhile you are just there for a boost of iron. I have been treated by Dr. Haggerty. He is a true angel and really helped me with my diagnosis. The man knows his stuff. I highly recommend him and his peers. The facility and staff is very understanding. Considering the treatment facilities they are providing. It's always super clean. They have water, coffee and snacks readily available. As you wait or that you can have while receiving treatments. They also give you pillows, and warm blankets to rest while receiving the treatments on the chairs. The chairs are very comfortable and versatile. I highly recommend this place for cancer patients looking for a facility to get their treatments done. I've even seen drs who have gotten diagnosed come here and sit next to the commoners to get their chemo/radiotion done. A+ staff, facility and drs!

No one returned my call. It is now the end of June 2024 and no sign of the echocardiogram results. I have never had a practice lose a report before, and they don't seem to care. Terrible.

I've been going here for several years, to treat a persistent anemia, involving IV infusion of iron…read morewhen my levels get too low. Dr. Kula, my hematologist, is not only incredibly calming, but her problem solving resulted in me getting an actual diagnosis after many specialists and diagnostic tests showed no specific cause, despite how thorough the other specialists as. When I first went to Dr. Kula, I was frustrated and worried and she turned my worries around, telling me we would get a solution. She seemed attuned to me, kmoldgable about my case, and was incredibly efficient without me feeling as if I'd been rushed. After ten months of testing, I was so relieved to have an answer, and four years later, Dr. Kula still inspires my complete confidence. As we all know, the doctor is only a part of the process, but in this case, the entire staff, from front desk, to nurses, to techs, have all been fantastic. No huge delays in appointments. In fact, I think every single appointment has run a few minutes early. Questions and concerns are answered in detail, blood draws are painless (no, seriously!) and it is great that they have an in-house lab, so in the short few minutes between blood draw and appointment, the doctor has updated and to the moment red and white counts, etc. I've spent most of my time in the infusion center, since my iron replenishment is usually an all-day affair, and this has allowed me to meet some great folks, as well as being able to observe the flow of the infusion area. The infusion area is one big room, with a nurses' station at one end, several offices, including scheduling, I believe, scattered throughout. On one end of the room is a smalll kitchen area with soft drinks, animal crackers, and the like, for patients and caregivers alike. There are two bathrooms, very clean and well appointed. Patients and a caregiver for each, if the patient has brought one) sit across an aisle, and the chairs are close enough to foster communication, if desired, but far enough apart to offer a bit of privacy. There are several televisions suspended above each row, but I haven't seen them turned on at any time. There is a good selection of magazines, and also a bookshelf where you can take or bring a book to donate. There are mostly adult genre paperbacks (mysteries and romance). Most patients seem to be on their tablets during their infusions, utilizing the wi-fi, which is at perfectly reasonable speed for web surfing. As I haven't tried streaming on the wi-if, I can't comment on how that speed might be. The infusion center is sunny and pleasant, and the nurses are thoroughly and wholly patient focused. Nurses are assigned to a "row" of patients seated in chairs across an aisle from each other and the nursing staff freely offer an extra hand if several patients need assistance at the same time. The nurses in this section are so soothing, explaining every step of the process and how long each segment is expected to take. While side effects are mentioned, they aren't emphasized, and through the process, the nurses were always only a few short steps away. If you'll be there for some time, the center is very centrally located, with a large Wegmans grocery store a short distance away, among many other shops.

But this is not the case with Dr. Kula. She was very detailed and asked all kinds of questions about every line I answered on that form. I think we spent at least 30 minutes just talking. My first impression of her was great. She made me feel very comfortable and she answered all the questions I had. So far I haven't had any bad experience at this facility. I would recommend anyone to Dr. Kula if you're looking for a hematologist in this area.

After the last patient went into her office she came out and said she was too busy to speak to me and that I should go to urgent care. I will never go back to her again. It would have taken her maybe 5 minutes to tell me what to do but she was "too busy."

He went out of his way to explain processes and procedures in a way that I could understand them, even drew diagrams for me, and didn't once act like any of my questions were stupid.

I'm getting a procedure done in a few weeks and he has everything up to my two week post checkup already on the books. This is definitely super helpful and keeps some of my stress level down. If you need to be here, Dr. Ferriss and his team have great bedside manner and that makes even the worst things a whole lot better.

Now...the initial appointment may take a "minute" to get, but once you become a Hopkins patient you are in! They link to your Hopkins Primary care and other Specialist. All are linked with a database called MY CHART which allows test results, questions, medical records, etc to be centralized. The chemo room (if you need it) hopefully you won't, but is small and quiet. They have private curtains and some private rooms. The nurses are all really nice. The number one positive is the Doctors. The level of intelligence will blow you away. These Doctors are trained and they are constantly researching new methods. If you need a miracle....I personally think they can help. The only minus star..as it seems in all medical offices..is that the Receptionist are not super friendly. For some reason, I am finding this the norm. Overall...I would take this location over downtown any day!

Today, I had one of the most disappointing experiences I have ever had with a healthcare provider…read more I would strongly encourage others to exercise caution when seeking care from Isabelle Le. As a new patient, I wanted the opportunity to discuss my concerns and ask questions before agreeing to any procedures, especially considering that this involved my body, my health, and my insurance coverage. To my surprise, I was informed that the provider would not even speak with me unless I agreed to the procedure before she entered the room. I explained that I was not refusing the procedure; rather, I simply wanted to address my concerns first due to a previous medical experience that had been traumatic for me. Despite this, I was told that the provider would not see me and that I would need to leave. Since I had already taken time off work for this appointment, I reluctantly agreed to proceed with the procedure. When the provider entered the room, she did not acknowledge or address the negative experience I had already encountered, nor did she make any effort to help me feel comfortable or reassured under her care. Throughout the interaction, I found her demeanor to be rude, passive-aggressive, and combative. While discussing a previous iron infusion experience that had been traumatic for me, she dismissed what I had experienced and invalidated my concerns entirely. I was deeply disappointed that a healthcare professional working in oncology demonstrated such a lack of compassion, empathy, and respect. At the conclusion of the appointment, she informed me that I would be scheduled with a different provider because, in her words, she had "much, much, much sicker patients" than me and that I would not be seeing her again. I was shocked and hurt by such an insensitive remark. Throughout the visit, I already felt more like a number than a patient, but that final comment left me feeling as though my health concerns did not matter and were somehow less deserving of care and attention.

Like several others who commented on this page, Dr. Robert Christie was problematic. My sense was…read morethat he expected to be obeyed without question, and became hostile if you did not agree with him Dr. Christie will be retiring in a few weeks. Other than my experience with Dr. Christie, I had a generally positive experience with Virginia Cancer Specialists - Arlington. The testing seemed quite thorough and is well-explained. The staff I met were friendly. The people taking my blood were competent and kind. The waiting area is pleasant. They are responsive if you present them with a problem. For example a new doctor was provided as soon as I told them what happened with Christie. The negative is that you are dealing with a well-oiled machine that can seem impersonal. There are numerous staff with impressive titles that you access through an on-line portal. You never know who is going to answer you, and they don't routinely give out last names. I'm a little old lady. I miss the time when you had a personal connection with your physician. You phoned your doctor if you had a problem and the doctor (not his nurse, not his secretary) phoned you back. You found out what might be the problem, what tests were being ordered, and why.
