Their care and the staff at Partner MD has changed my life. I can't thank them enough for the stellar healthcare.

Use to be good. Just a number now. Can't get in to see doctors anymore. There is no quality…read morereferrals anymore just tell you to go emergency room. Pretty bad when you know more doctors than the physicians that need to be referring. Practice is only as good as the experience of the nurses that are hired. Been a customer since they opened in Richmond, Virgina. Seem to only be interested in executive physicals. That are redundant after the first one.

Wouldn't help me get a DNA test processed. Had to ask another of my doctors to sign the form!!!!…read moreThey wanted to refer me to VCU Medical DNA doctors. Would have required $$$ Just unbelievable. I got my form signed in one day for FREE!!!! I went to that doctors office for at least 22 years!!! Then they fired me as a patient. OMG

I have been a patient at CPC for about 25-30 years. Most of my experiences have been positive,…read morehowever my recent extended care visit has me a bit concerned on the direction their care is headed. I injured my shoulder/arm and went through the extended care facility. I arrived at 1:37pm (there were four people ahead of me), was taken to the back to a room at 3:00ish pm. Nikta Safavi, PA-C saw me at 3:45pm and ordered x-rays (mind you x-rays closes at 4:00pm). I was taken back for x-rays, back in the room by 4:20 and waited till 4:50pm for the Safavi to come back to the room and tell me no broken bones. Safavi wanted to prescribe me medicine that I explained to her I could not take (she still prescribed it), never submitted the prescription I could take or the referral for an Ortho visit. I had to call multiple times to get the medication and the referral. While Safavi was pleasant she came across unsure and not very confident in what she was doing. I was surprised to learn she has been a PA for a number of years. Perhaps she was just having a bad day? I do know I will not use the Extended Clinic for any future walk-in visit.

My wife has had back pain for some time. We considered surgical options but we were advised to try…read morephysical therapy first. This helped a little. As an anesthesiologist, who is more than familiar with the failed back surgery syndrome, I was interested in alternative therapies. I looked up Dr Groopman, who is boarded in internal medicine, emergency medicine as well as acupuncture. He brings a broad perspective to his practice and he is very thorough in his initial examinations; as a physician, he is able to bring a multimodal approach to pain control, not just using acupuncture, and his treatments of my wife's back pain have proved extremely effective. A more caring empathetic physician would be hard to find and we both feel very grateful that he is taking care of us. We both recommend him very highly. As an addendum, I recently developed trigeminal neuralgia. After seeing a neurologist who prescribed a MRI and medication, I went to Dr Groopman, who had just recently presented a case report on his successful treatment of trigeminal neuralgia using acupuncture. I received a course of treatments and it's been two weeks since my last one. It would seem that the condition is in remission. I am thrilled.
