So far, I have had two appointments with Tressa Breindel at Inhealth RVA. I have thought about…read moreseeing a functional medicine doctor for a while, after growing increasingly irritated with the lack of thoroughness I've experienced with regular, primary care physicians. I have had hormonal issues since giving birth 2.5 years ago and I am more than ready to connect the dots, so I did some research and found Tressa. They offer a free 15 minute consultation and I instantly knew I wanted to work with her after we talked. It was basically a call for me to give her a brief overview of my health history and what my current concerns were. She was an amazing listener and thought that she could help me, so I booked a full blown appointment with her. The intake appointment was last week and it was an amazing two full hours of her answering all my questions and listening to my full health history + family history. I have never felt like someone was so invested in my health as I did during that virtual call. You cannot even begin to compare this experience to a "regular" appointment at a doctor's office. We talked for about an hour and a half, and then she wrote up a treatment plan and we came back together to discuss the next steps. I am very happy with my treatment plan and cannot wait to see what all of the thorough testing reveals. The only frustrating thing about pursuing naturopathic/integrative medicine is that it is not covered under insurance plans. I am happy to pay out of pocket for this service, however I am going to have to space some of the steps out a bit so that they fit within my budget. I know that once I invest in this initial testing and the time it takes to get to the root cause of my health concerns, I will benefit greatly in the long run. I am so thankful for Tressa and can't wait to see how this journey proceeds.

Let me preface this by saying I like Dr. Hyder alot, however my entire family, parents, siblings,…read morechildren, spouse, have been patients of Patterson Ave Family Practice for 40+ years, since Dr.Taylor in the old building. In the past few years it has become basically impossible to schedule an appointment, speak to anyone in the office, get a response to an inquiry in a reasonable amount of time, or even get a "sick visit". All they do is push you towards Urgent Care or the ER. How is that looking out for your patients? The last thing anyone wants when they are legitimately sick is to go sit in a waiting room for hours to be seen by someone who may not even be an actual Dr and knows absolutely nothing about you. I hate to say it, my Dad loved Dr Hyder and I have as well but Bon Secours has run the entire practice into the ground. I'm sure its the way of the world now but one would think that a Healthcare system supposedly rooted in religion would care more about their patients than the almighty dollar. If this is any indication of what "universal healthcare" would be, I sincerely hope it never happens.
