I see the latest review here is over two years ago, so this thread is out of date…read more Unfortunately Dr. Antonis DOES NOT SEE PATIENTS WITH BACK PROBLEMS ANYMORE despite his great reviews on this review page. I made an appointment with Dr. Antonis at OrthoVirginia's McClean Office. After a long drive to my appointment I was told it was canceled because Dr Antonis does do backs anymore and that they had called me on 6/1. I was able to show the front desk on my phone there were no incoming calls that day and I hadn't heard from anyone at any other point. So they were pretty disorganized. While the receptionist tried to find another doctor, her back office provided a quick no. I would have liked to have known they really tried but it didn't seem like it. Overall it was to very disappointing experience as their office comes crossed as being disorganized in that they didn't 1.) let people know of the change with Dr Antonis, 2.) inform me at all (email and text and call please or at least for 2 of 3 so you have back up measures), and 3.) seem too interested in helping or remedying my situation, despite their mistake. The front desk receptionist was cordial and did make an attempt for me so that was a good experience. But she clearly was shut down pretty quickly by the back office, which made things worse.

I have been woefully remiss in a review of this awesome Doctor who I first started using back in…read more2018 when I was referred by my primary Ortho Virginia Doctor to help fix a Bakers Cyst and very recently for a PRP to my shoulder, hoping to avoid surgery. Dr Antonis describes himself as "registered diagnostic medical sonographer with a special interest in ultrasound point-of-care exams and ultrasound-guided procedures, including platelet-rich plasma and newer orthobiologic agents, to augment healing" and he has become my go to Doctor for issues that are out of the scope of my regular Orthopedic surgeon . Back in 2018 I could not run or walk and Dr Antonis fixed my issues taking care to show me the issue using ultrasound and then on the dates of procedure took great care using needles to get the fluid out. I am back jogging. So, when my MRI recently came back with arthritis and a tear in my shoulder, it was a choice between surgery or visiting Dr Antonis who I immediately requested take a look and when I did, he thought (as my own primary care doctor did) that this procedure could help with pain relief. Before the procedure, one of his staff Amy O'Masta ,a Certified and Licensed Athletic Trainer and a critical resource to me, sat down and took the time to explain the process, procedure very patiently and once the procedure is agreed upon (remember Dr Antonis has to agree the procedure is beneficial) Amy is so very helpful with follow-up questions and procedures. As a certified trainer she was invaluable to coordinating with my PT folks providing both the necessary paperwork, prescriptions to take before and after and explaining what the patient should be doing. From week to days, you are left with clear instructions. On the day of the procedure, I had also arranged for my wife to be checked for the opposite shoulder and we both showed up to their new really nice office around the corner from the old. Parking is provided and the office was easy to locate. On check-in, it was easy and since I had to be hydrated, the front office staff provided water. When we both were brought in, my wife wentt first and Dr Antonis was able to visually able to show her what was going on and gave her some alternatives (like me) to surgery. My wife, who hates medicine of any kind, felt very reassured by Dr Antonis and opted to take a cortisone shot for relief. She did not feel pressured in any way (to the contrary). While this was going on, my blood was being drawn by a nurse (really nice) Before my procedure Amy again explained in great detail and showed me visually what was about to happen. On the procedure itself, while I was really nervous, Dr Antonis took great care and time (even turning on music from the 70s) explaining every step of the procedure in real time. Having him continually speaking, and letting me know what I was about to feel was really helpful finishing this procedure. He was assisted by Meghan who was great. After the procedure Dr Antonis again ensured I was comfortable and started exercising my hand to keep blood flowing. He really is an outstanding Doctor. Amy then took over and as a certified trainer, showed me the exercises I should be following both at home and at PT. She took her time and ensured we had all the information we needed before leaving. I follow-up in 4 weeks and hope this procedure will help me avoid surgery. A big thank you to Dr Antonis, Meghan and especially Amy (big kudos). If you have any sports issues or ones I mentioned above, I highly recommend seeing Dr Antonis for a second opinion and to perform the procedure if you qualify. He is outstanding and one of a very few Doctors who shows such empathy with his patients.

He immediately ordered X-rays, blood work, and an MRI, and then referred me to a specialist, ruling out a cervical issue, which I initially suspected. I was very satisfied to see the genuine interest and dedication he shows toward each of his patients. I observed how carefully he reviewed my X-rays and ordered the necessary studies to fully understand my condition. At my follow-up appointment, I had the opportunity to be seen by his PA, Jennifer Leeman, PA-C, who performed additional tests in the office, consulted with Dr. Hughes, referred me to a neurologist, and ordered additional blood tests to further evaluate elevated lab results. I 100% recommend these healthcare professionals. They are extremely professional and care for their patients as if they were members of their own family. From the bottom of my heart, I am truly grateful to Dr. Hughes and Jennifer Leeman.

I saw him for the first tome few weeks back and i thought he was caring enough to listen and despite some of the negative review about his bedside manner i felt he was attentive enough. So he sent me for CT and MRI and told me to book the follow up with his nurse Jennifer since its the fastest way to get an appointment and he added " but I will be there as well"so i did and went to the fairfax to discuss my results... i was called in pretty quickly and the assistant who is clearly unqualified to work there asks me if i am pregnant or done either my periods... what? I am over 60 then she takes my pressure and tells me its 69 over 40 ... i asked her again and she said you haven't had breakfast thats why'! Really? The nurse took it again and it was the normal range as i expected. Then comes to my results obviously she had not even looked at them or discuss them with the doctor reading what the radiologist written snd briefly looking at the images and giving me what i could read myself . Very disappointed because i had questions that were not answered by the doctor who i paid to see because he never came in as he said he would. I dont think discussing results should be done with a nurse who clearly not an expert in imaging or diagnosis. I got nothing out of this visit so waste of my money and time and still dont know what really is causing my issues. Oh and the ladies at check out need to be politer and nicer either way the patients.

Um, Nope. anyway, my regular doctors nurse recommended Manus center and Dr. Shepler. He was booked and since scar tissue was forming, I went with Dr. Emily Hattwick. EXCELLENT.

I went to Manus Center in 2008 for a sprained finger. Unfortunately, I went "somewhere else"…read morefirst. The other doctors took an X-ray, and diagnosed me with a broken pinky. They put the finger in a splint, and told me it would take several weeks to heal. After a week or so, my pain got much worse, so I called Manus and was set up to see Dr. Emily Hattwick (who incidentally is no longer with Manus, but does still have a practice in the area). Dr. Hattwick reviewed my X-ray and immediately removed the splint. The other doctors had misread the X-ray; it wasn't broken at all. (They had identified a feeder vein as a fracture!) In fact, keeping the finger immobilized for so long had allowed the tendons to seize up, making the original injury worse. Dr. Hattwick set me up with the correct techniques and PT exercises to rehabilitate my finger. Following her advice, I was completely healed. My only issue is that their office is often so over-booked that appoinments run an hour (or more) behind. But that's just because they're actually competent - unlike some others.

These therapists will thoroughly evaluate you at every session before turning you over to the exercise specialists, who will then stick with you to make sure you're are doing the exercises properly. You will come out of this experience physically stronger and mentally equipped to manage any lingering pain. Ultimately, I expect mine to vanish entirely over time.

My daughter recently had a bad experience at Jackson Clinic in Oakton and asked me to share her…read morethoughts. She had gone to the clinic for PT for about nine months but stopped because of the PT's rudeness. My daughter notes that the people at the front desk were beyond helpful and kind. Specifically, Anna gave us her email when my daughter hinted that she was upset about a different situation, and she seemed to genuinely care about the issue. David was also nice when we talked to him. Unfortunately, there were multiple occasions where my daughter felt sick and terrible during the sessions, and had to leave. When she would tell her PT, the PT would make my daughter feel bad and guilt trip and pressure her into staying longer. Recently, my daughter got sick and couldn't go to PT for about a month. After a month, she felt well enough to attend about 30 minutes. After the initial 30 minutes with the PT, my daughter told them she wasn't feeling well and would go home after one more exercise (that she planned and chose to do). They told her, "Okay, well just plan to stay longer next time." My daughter was extremely confused and just dumbfounded. She assumed the PT misunderstood and told the PT that she still wasn't feeling well from her recent sickness and had planned to only stay for 30 minutes. The PT double downed and told her to plan to stay for longer. At that point, my daughter was so angry she didn't want to talk to the PT anymore. She did the last exercise and left. Because they were not receptive to her feelings and symptoms, my daughter decided to stop going to the clinic, but we wanted to report it to their admin team. She sent in a contact request to the Jackson Clinics company admin team, but they never emailed or called us. A few days later, I cancelled all of her upcoming appointments at the clinic and the clinic director asked me why. I briefly explained, but my daughter called him back and told him more. At first, he seemed understanding, but near the end he seemed to be making excuses for the PT. He said he talked to her about it, and he didn't mention if she was even sorry or wanted to explain it herself. We later learned that Jackson can only bill you for the time that the patient is there. We assume they put pressure on their employees to make clients stay. While we understand that this is not the employees' fault, we expected more courtesy from them, explaining that they had to say it. Jackson most likely puts pressure on their employees so they get more money, but because of this forced pressure, we are not willing to continue service, and they lose more than they would have. We also recently learned that they sent an end of service note to my daughter's PCP. We know this is normal and expected. However, the PT lied on it. She said that she had explained to my daughter during the last appointment about their 90 minute model. She did not. She also said "patient was noncompliant with at home exercises." While this is partially true, as my daughter has multiple unreliable and unpredictable health conditions, the PT did not put in a lot of effort to help. We hope this review will give potential clients some insight and our goal is that they won't make others as upset as my daughter was, and still is.
