One of the best Medical center in the Stafford and Woodbridge area. Special Dr. Amir Alemzadeh, the best doctor, for my diabetes, which was out of control before, but now it's like a normal person without diabetes. I recommend Internal medicine for everyone read more

Absolute medical negligence and unacceptable patient care.I visited this office on July 8, 2026, for a highly painful, swollen, and itchy growth on the back of my neck. I was examined by Abu Sheriff, who completely missed the issue, dismissed it as an "infected skin tag," and sent me home with a prescription.My symptoms grew significantly worse. Two days later, the agonizing pain forced me to go to Patient First for emergency care. After a proper, thorough examination, the doctor there found that it was not a skin tag at all--it was a large, live tick that had been embedded in my neck for weeks. They removed it immediately.Because Abu Sheriff failed to perform a basic, careful examination, I carried a live tick for days longer than necessary. I have now officially tested positive and been diagnosed with Lyme disease as a direct result of this delayed removal and severe oversight.I have full medical documentation, photographs, and records from Patient First proving this negligence. This office is a major patient safety hazard. If you value your health, avoid this facility and this provider. read more

Cardinal Internal Medicine - after removing the Tick - Internal Medicine Near Me - Stafford, Virginia

Your Stafford location has exhibited astronomical levels of incompetence today. I've been waiting since 09:00 this morning for a work excuse to be signed and sent over. High priority/internal messages have been sent. Multiple phone calls have been made to the Stafford location only for my calls to be answered via the Woodbridge office. This is unacceptable, unprofessional inexcusable, and I will never return to the stafford office location. read more

I have been a patient here for 2.5 years, but I'm leaving because I've been without my medication for a full month due to administrative neglect. They haven't "ignored" me in the literal sense, but they make no real effort to actually connect. I get callbacks at 4:50 PM, but the phones are already off when I call back two minutes later. They don't leave informative voicemails and they don't respond to the portal. The most ridiculous part is that I actually paid for an appointment with the NP just to get a message through to the staff. Even after paying for that visit, it has been three business days and the issue is still not resolved. They took my payment for an appointment and still haven't lifted a finger to fix the medication lapse. If you are a busy person who expects a basic level of professional follow-through, look elsewhere. read more

I really can't say enough about the care I have received from the entire staff at Cardinal Internal Medicine's Stafford, VA, office. I have been a patient here since the summer of 2019, and I have always been treated with the utmost respect and kindness. I suffer from anxiety before and during doctor appointments due to previous trauma, but the staff never makes me feel even the slightest discomfort. So, if you are new to the area or are just looking to make a change in your healthcare regime, you really owe it to yourself to make an appointment. Ask to see Abu Shariff, if he is available. read more

Very happy, Dr listens, actually talks to you about family history/issues/heridatory we even called my mum for more family history. Very happy with them. read more

Love my NP here- Patricia Congleton. She is #1 and will really take care of you. This is the only one I trust to take care of my health needs and she will always greet you with a smile. Her goal is that her patients are healthy and living their full life. I love this practice because of her. read more

The Cardinal Internal Medicine Doctors and their staff are incredible!! The staff is so helpful and friendly. I started getting my Botox done from Dr. Farough and Dr. Moussavi years ago and now I will never go anywhere else. These Doctors do not age so I will continue to seek their medical advice . Also, It is rare to find Doctors that combine outstanding quality of medical care with a personal touch they make you feel like family here. I recently went to get a touch up during the pandemic and their office is immaculate. All four of the Doctors that work here are OUTSTANDING! Thank you Cardinal. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Nazanin Alemzadeh since the late 90s (we lived in Woodbridge) and was thrilled that she and her team opened an office in Stafford (we moved here in 2002). My husband and sons also see Dr. Amir Alemzadeh and Dr. Mousavi. Now, must admit, I left the practice about 3 years ago because of my work/home schedule and found a holistic doc in the area. When Dr Alemzadeh started one day a week in Stafford - I made my appointment for January 2nd! Great start to the new year. I highly recommend this team of doctors, they have great bed - side manners, are professional, and I never feel rushed. Quest Diagnostics (blood work) is conveniently located in the same building. If you want a doctor that's willing to spend time to get to know you - go to Cardinal Internal Medicine. read more

I went to see Sohail Moussavi after i saw that he was close by and had pretty good reviews online. I have internal medicine doctor that i love, but i was chronically ill for 2 years with no diagnosis at the time, so i decided to try a set of fresh eyes, hoping that he might have an idea of what was going on. I had recently had 3 kidney/liver panels that came back with concerning results. Sohail Moussavi treated me like trash. He was cruel, condescending and the way that he medically gaslighted me was appalling. He actually reduced me to tears in his office and was unapologetic about it. He told me that i had urine and blood in my protein because i didn't eat enough meat (he claimed that if i ate a pile of meat i would get better) and he refused to test me further. Fast forward 6 months- I am now diagnosed with liver disease, kidney failure, pernicious anemia, AFIB, CVID. I am seeing a neurologist for suspected MS as well. RUN RUN RUN. This doctor and his staff is appalling. I knew what my labs meant but this guy with his medical training was absolutely clueless and unwilling to listen to a super sick patient. I don't pay tens of thousands of dollars to grown a*ss adults who refuse to do their jobs. He needs to go into a new profession before he kills someone. read more

Called for a refill for few meds and insulin 2 week now no refill requests was done.

I started coming to see Dr. Amir Alemzadeh last year. I have not been disappointed yet. He is very attentive and concerned for his patients. He noticed the growth in my neck as I was leaving his office and sent me to have it checked out and as it turns out I had thyroid cancer. I will be always grateful for him going that extra step to look at me. I've also seen his sister Dr. Nazanin Alemzadeh as well. She is very caring and explains everything. They both compliment each other. The ladies in the office are very nice and always helpful in getting appointments. I was able to visit the Woodbrige office as well and the group there are just as nice. A wonderful team. As much as I hate going to the doctor I love going to see the both of them. Both are very professional doctor's. read more

I love Cardinal Internal Medicine. I have a chronic disease that requires a great deal of care. Dr. Farough is the most amazing doctor ever! She is the type of Doctor that actually listens to the patient, and is not afraid to educate herself if she doesn't know something. I have seen so many doctors in the past that are unteachable! This is not the case here. Her humble personality makes her an exceptional physician. She makes my life a little easier. read more

This is an astoundingly incompetent clinic, and they claim to have been in business for years, but to say their expertise is lacking in an understatement. When I sought internal medicine from this office, I was completely denied since Dr. Moussavi clearly has a problem interpreting and analyzing basic laboratory data. If I were a complete layman, I wouldn't have thought for a second this physician was lying to me or maybe he doesn't know what the hell he's doing (and the latter seems to be the case). He was smart enough to give me my money back at least. read more

"It is the responsibility of every human being to make the world a better place than the one we found." - Albert Einstein. Dr. Farough medical expertise and inter-personal relationship skill exceed, not only Einstein's comment, but the "gold standards" expected in the USA's professional medical community. It is for these reasons that my Son and I refer to Dr. Farough, as "Wonder Woman". Not to objectify her beyond the obvious, Dr Farough is an actual "10", who is a credit to America and makes the world a better place for all! Our most sincere Shalom & Many Prayers of Peace for her, DaD & Son ... read more

I was a patient of Dr. A. Farough and when first enrolled there thought that it was a good place to get my primary care. After just a few visits there I quickly realized that Dr. Farough is not a very compassionate or understanding physician especially in treating male patients. During a recent visit she refused to provide a medicine I've used for over 10 years and did actually receive one prescription from her for the same medication but when I needed a refill she informed me that I shouldn't be on the medication and I reminded her that she actually gave it to me. It was a medication for anxiety, she made me feel as though I was there seeking medication to abuse and told me to see a psychiatrist. I have never been so embarrassed in my entire life by a doctor who didn't care to even examine me for any ailment that I presented her with. Don't waste your time or money seeking good treatment from Dr. Farough you may not get what you need. read more

I have been going to Cardinal Internal Medicine for about 2 years and seeing Dr. Nazanin Alemzadeh. My appointments with her were ok. I really didn't get a good vibe from here. The front desk is so unorganized and new/different nurses every time I go in to the office. The nurse or receptionist call me to give me my lab results and could not answer any of my questions...stated that she did not know. This is so unprofessional...then why call if you can't answer simple question about the labs you called me to go over. I will be switching doctors for sure. read more
