My husband came in with x rays and reports showing he has several large bone spurs. Dr. Prakash proceeds to tell him the bone spurs aren't a problem and that it's just plantar fachitis. When he begs to differ he raises his voice, talks to my husband like he's a peasant in his narcissistic kingdom, talks over him etc. He had the bedside manner of Hitler. My husband put his shoes on and walked out. He puts in his report that hubby refused to follow his orders. Why is he even around people? read more

I have went there off and on over the years, but hadn't went there since 2014. My first time again was 2018. The staff has changed and Dr. Karanvir Prakash is the worst! He has a very nasty disposition towards his patients, can't ask him questions, his responses are very short and smart. The scheduler there made me an appointment for a day he wasn't there and her supervisor went along instead of reprimanding her. I need care for the pain that I am experiencing, but I will go up towards Richmond before I ever set foot back in that office again. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone at all! Seek medical treatment elsewhere, they are not the ones to waste your health insurance on, messy, messy, messy! read more

I do not recommend this office if you are in need of shoulder care. I had rotator cuff surgery (which is very painful). Upon discharge the doctor gave me a prescription for Oxycodone, but only for 5 days supply and my follow up appointment was not until 8 days later. When I went for my follow up visit I voiced my concerns about how I was being treated like an addict. The doctor told me that Oxycodone is not meant for pain and all it will do is mess up my brain and make me an addict. read more

This review is actually for the Colonial Heights location. I must say it was one of the nicest doctor's office I've ever been too. Check in was quick and they actually give you an IPad to input your medical history and information then return it to front desk. We were called back almost immediately to the room where my son was triaged by the nurse in the room. The room was clean and ginormous! My son was then taken to another room for X-rays. When he returned the X-ray tech pulled his images up on a huge TV screen in the room and we were told to feel free to scroll through images while waiting for the doctor. Within minutes the doctor came in and was friendly and explained all issues with us thoroughly. He never seemed rushed or made us feel that way. Everyone was friendly and the office is modern and clean. read more

This experience quickly brought about the realization that doctors are not Gods, and some show up to work just to count down the hours until their escape. My doctor was Dr. Pavan. I came in due to a car accident I was involved in that totaled my car. Dr. Pavan attributed my pains to the fact that I was overweight, and wouldn't consider anything else. I reminded him that prior to the accident I was heavily active and despite my size I have been athletic my whole life. I brought up how before the accident I could do all sort of things (i.e. climbing trees, running, walking for too long, chores, driving...) I can't do now. He recommended for me to lose some weight. He referred me to a pain management specialist that cost me $300 who wasn't able to help me, then chuckled it off as a mistake because he wasn't aware the PMS only dealt with injection. I must say, even though this doctor wasn't able to help me, he at least acknowledge that I could have a tear in my rotator cuff and didn't blame it on me being fat. Back in mid May Dr. Pavan he referred me to another PMS, it's now July 9th and they still do not have any records or referrals from me. The office chalks this up to the fact that they are now VCU and it's taking time to acclimate to the systems. The merge has been going on since February, we are now in July. Take some accountability! Please do yourself the favor and find somewhere else to seek treatment. If not, at least go with a different doctor. 7/18/19 - called and asked to speak with a manager, and was transferred to Barbara an office administrator. She had Angie from records call me back, who asked if I had received my records. She never responded to my voicemail or email requesting it so I'm not sure how she expected me to get it. I decided to find another practice to treat me due to my difficulties with Colonial Orthopedics. I went to the new office 7/22 and signed a release of authorization to get my records. It's now 8/6/19 and they have yet to send them over. I have a fax confirmation number yet they're saying they never received the request. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE APRIL!!!!!! read more

The doctors proved (more than once) that they had zero concern for my daughter or her health. The doctor and nurses that we dealt with are rude. At first we liked it there but once we needed them for more than a cast they proved to be incompetent. read more

DO NOT GET YOUR PHYSICAL THERAPY CONDUCTED AT THE RIVERS BEND OFFICE!! The staff there are very uncaring and nonchalant. I abruptly ended my services there due to the following: From day one I walked In the door the staff including the receptionist (who was filling in for the regular receptionist) were very unfriendly. I went 3 times and she never asked for my copay. I mentioned to her I needed to pay being she's never asked for it and she says "can you pay it next time, I've already shut down for the evening". Keep in mind they weren't even closed yet. So I meet the therapist..... She had this weird unfriendly vibe..... Almost like "this is just a job" attitude. So after I couple of visits I notice all the therapist do is check off all the exercises I do and then I'm on my way. No real interaction. So I called the main office in Colonial Heights and inquired about transferring my therapy there and I addressesd some of my concerns about the Rivers Bend office. I get to my appt at 4pm that same day and my therapist has a fierce attitude. She goes to tell me that if I don't think the therapy is working I don't have to still come. I told her I was fully aware of my options. She walks away and as I'm working out she comes back to me and asked me what did I not see working and AGAIN if I didn't think the therapy was working I didn't need to come anymore. By this time I'm sensing a problem. She then says "well you can't come in here complaining if you don't think it's working ". I told her "I didn't come in here complaining....you asked me a question ". She says "WELL YOU CALLED OVER TO THE OTHER OFFICE YELLING AT MY FRIEND!" I never yelled I just asked some questions & expressed my concerns. Needless to say, I told her she was very unprofessional and I would no longer be going there for my therapy. I received a refund for my copay and left. read more
