This practice seems to be all over Virginia, I found them after my original rheumatologist of…read morealmost 20 years Dr. Rosalia Lomeo retired. No one will ever be a good replacement for her, so I went in with low expectations. So far the Willow Oaks office has been ok, they did change the major treatment, but luckily they didn't do the nightmare scenario of changing everything, or making me start at the beginning again. I'm irritated I have to see a separate pain specialist, pain is part of a rheumatology diagnosis for most, so forcing patients to make separate appointments for chronic pain seems part silly, part taking financial advantage of patients. But I guess this is part of the new chain style of medicine in the U.S. Dr. Lomeo was old fashioned, and treated all symptoms of her specialty, and left specialists for areas outside of her expertise, of which pain is included for ALL rheumatologists, can you tell I miss her yet? The office staff is largely quick and efficient, they do their best to navigate my insurances that try to get out of paying. I admit I prefer dealing with some, who are friendlier. But they're all decent. Seating is comfortable, and appointments are mostly on time, but as with all rheumatologists, you may find they run late because sometimes patients just need more time at their appointments. Have patience, and bring a book just in case. Parking is easy because the office is between free car parks, beware though, because the carpark elevator often breaks down. The infusion center is at the same office, which is convenient. The nurses here are very nice, normal Geri-chairs to lay or sit in. Be prepared to make future appointments well in advance. And they do blood draws here and in the office, which almost makes up for the pain clinic nonsense. So far, the patients that come here are also pretty chill as well. The doctors and PAs are professional, and do try to ensure you have the right protocols. I'm not looking for a cure, just stability and they're getting there. I love Alisha the PA, she's good natured and answers all my questions. Dr. Bodadi is quiet, but thoughtful and seems kind. I've dealt with my diseases since childhood, and was a nurse; so my experiences may be much different than someone else who's looking for a miracle. With the disappearing population of old fashioned practice, that treats the whole person; this office is probably as good as it gets unless you can find a concierge rheumatologist. Don't know about the other offices though.

I am very happy with the concern and efforts of Dr. Thomas to solve my perplexing problem. Also the…read moreability to see her on short notice relieved my anxiety over not being able to get answers I needed. She is a very caring and professional doctor. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised when Dr. Thomas had a staff member call my home to make sure I had arrived home safely when she found I was driving by myself. I was sure of my ability at the time, but her concern was heartwarming and appreciated. George Mysel

Thrive Naturopathic has a great program and team filled with integrity, trust and commitment to…read morehealing. The modules program that each participant follows is full of videos and impactful information to guide each person on their health journey. What attracted me to this practice initially, was how unique it was from others I was considering. I am referring to brain re-training. This is a critical piece to healing and often overlooked. Having been given the tools, I practice my mind re-training, breathing and gratitude every day. Family members I visited while on the program mentioned to me how much calmer I am now. My hair is growing in and my dry eyes, while not yet healed, are less painful when I waken in the morning. All team providers are readily accessible between scheduled appointments and were all prompt for scheduled meetings with me. A shout out to Joy (office support). She got those supplements/remedies to me very promptly and e-mails initially explaining the program and who to contact were thorough and left nothing to question. I would be neglectful not mentioning health coaches Kourtney and Halicia. Yes, an assigned, health coach!! This was another amazing benefit. Kourtney was kind, professional, and helpful in my decision regarding program appropriateness through my scheduled discovery call. Halicia, my assigned program Health Coach, provided regular support calls answering endless questions. Thank you so much Halicia! (and Kourtney too). By the way, Alicia, The Total Gym is now out of the closet [since purchased in the 90s) and being used for weight training. All three Naturopaths who I met with regularly, evaluated and carefully considered my progress and made changes as needed. Healing takes time and Dr. Johnson told me on my 1st visit that brain re-training would be a major part of my healing. I feel grateful for the care and tools provided to me to continue my wellness journey. There are no nickel and diming surprises. The price I paid was an all-inclusive amazing value. and exceeded my expectations.

However, the following appointments seemed extremely rushed, and some concerning topics were quickly mentioned but not fully addressed, which led to more confusion, anxiety, and worrying. In addition, one of my pet peeves are phones going off/looking at phones during appointments - I'm sorry, but I am a patient who paid for the office visit, so I expect 100% of your attention. The staff here are a hit-or-miss in terms of responsiveness, whether by trying to contact them via phone or by email. They have also been rude to my husband, which is a huge NO in my book - there is no room for unprofessional and inappropriate behavior when interacting with patients and their family. So, 3 for the doc and 1 for the front office, which averages out to 2. (shrugs) +located inside VHC +unprofessional front office staff

I have visited him several times, I have ongoing appointment every 3 months, he is actually kind and warm. I have had struggles with my RA and until now I am pretty stable. Of course medicine is a process of trials and trying different things or meds to see what works. This is something people forget.
