I would give 5 stars but I'm so fed up with the following that I'm only giving 3 stars in hopes my plea gets listened to. The building elevators continue to be awful. I have been coming to 1635 GM Dr. ever since it opened in the mid 1990s and the elevators have been terrible for all 3 decades. One of the two elevators is often out of service - ridiculously frequently. Additionally, the elevators are really slow-moving, further sapping efficiency. As such, when an elevator - yet again - goes on the blink, eliminating 50% of elevator capacity (when they really should have originally built 3 or more elevators), it's guaranteed that patients will be chronically late. For themselves, their staff and their patients, I urge APC and other buikding tenants to unify and demand the owner/management company do MUCH better than they have to date by replacing the terrible-from-the-start-but-getting-even-worse elevators. Bite the bullet with patients having to take alternate elevators for a week or so for the swap out, but replace the dysfunctional elevators now.

Dear Gary and Michelle,…read more For years I have struggled with my health , fitness, pain, and weight. The weight slowly year after year crept up on me now that I am 50. When I tried to work out and exercise, things would go great for a while, and then I would injure myself. The chronic tennis elbow, the shoulder, and the back. For the last 10 years you would put me back together and help me with my immediate discomfort. Then, I would repeat the same scenario- loose weight, exercise, and then.... injury. The cycle continued several times. Finally, I had enough and wanted my life back. My blood pressure for the first time was elevated, my cholesterol was high, heart rate elevated, stamina was poor, clothes tight, blood sugar higher than normal, and overall stress and fatigue were pulling me down. In 2015, I began my new health kick I working out harder than ever and lost a lot of weight quick. Then I hurt my back .... again. It was then that you sat me down and had a heart to heart letting me know that I wasn't 20 anymore. Exercise and diet are supercritical but you let me know that it must be different than before. You told me I need to change the weight lifting, burpees, hand stands, and donkey kicks for routines where I wouldn't get injured. You spent the time with me in PT demonstrating and showing me a new way to exercise. A technique that will help me become fit without the risk of injury. Hearing this was like running into a rock. I thought I knew the path to health and it took a lot of work, pain, and I had to struggle through the injuries. Your advice opened a new door, a door which led to a new path that was not known to me before. You have probably been telling me all along, but I wasn't ready yet. I simply didn't take your heart your comments. Now that I know better, I have taken a radical change in my life. Your care and words of wisdom and frankness were much needed at this time in my life. I look forward to sharing a beer with you when I hit 180! I thank the both of you for management and rehab. I appreciate the speed and flexibility with making my many appointments. More importantly I appreciate the new path and how this will keep me health got a lifetime. Than you again. Robert.

Dr. Connie Le, Sarah Bennett, FNP Alex Nguyen, AGCNP and team are excellent! They give a personal touch with genuine care and concern. When there are mysterious symptoms, I like that they are willing to help me explore ways I can investigate them to find a proper diagnosis. Over the years, I have seen the clinic evolve to be a true and organized primary care center. Dr. Connie Le also teaches medical students and fine tunes their ability to properly diagnose conditions. I have seen her do this, and she proves it again and again that she is a master of medical knowledge. Something that seems minor, such as a wasp bite, was properly diagnosed as cellulitis and treated with the correct prescriptions. In addition, they are great at monitoring severe conditions and reminding me about routine lab tests and follow-up diagnostic exams. I had needed lots of medical appointments involving surgery and more. It is a great relationship where I can trust them with recommending the correct follow-up procedure and intervals. It is fairly easy to get an appointment within a week. Appointments with Dr. Connie Le may take a bit longer to get since she is in high demand. However, they also try to fit in urgent appointments. I have had no billing issues. Yay! The staff is professional and helpful. I also work in healthcare and silently observed the way they operate.

The app only allowed me to choose a follow up appointment, this was in response to test results from my primary care provider. If the system wasn't supposed to let me do that, that's an issue on their end, not mine. I drove over 50 minutes to this appointment, only to get a call in the parking lot telling me they didn't know how I was able to schedule and that I shouldn't have made the appointment the way I did. Instead of listening or troubleshooting, the front desk staff kept arguing with me and insisting I booked it wrong even after I explained that their own app allowed it. It was frustrating and honestly felt very dismissive. This was especially disappointing because I was referred here by my primary care provider, so I came in expecting a smooth and professional experience. On top of that, I had been waiting for some time. someone from the office was supposed to call me to schedule in the first place, and no one ever did. When I called myself, I was told I would get a callback...which never happened. At that point, I decided it was better to leave and find another office. The front desk is often a reflection of the professionalism and care within the rest of the practice, and based on this, I didn't feel confident moving forward. A healthcare office should be understanding, solutions oriented and respectful of patients' time, especially when the patient has driven nearly an hour to get there. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. I will be finding another provider in the area with better communication and a more patient centered front desk.

Within seconds after meeting Rohina Ahmed, I was uncomfortable with having her as my care provider…read more I became more uncomfortable as the exam proceeded. By the end of the appointment I made sure I would not deal with her again. Let me explain. I am 78 years old. I felt a lump in my right armpit a couple of months ago. I then phoned the personal physician I had for many years before moving. He asked if the lump was painful. It wasn't. He said I needed to see my current health care provider immediately. For starters, I would need blood work and a diagnostic mammogram. I then called my current health care provider, Arlington Medical Associates, to make an appointment. After explaining the symptoms to the office manager, I was scheduled to see Rohina Ahmed, a Nurse Practitioner. The office manager put a note on my records, "Lump in Armpit." Rohina Ahmed entered the exam room, apologizing for being late. Apparently she hadn't noticed the note on my file. "You're here for a follow-up visit. Right?" "Mm - no I have a lump in my right armpit." Rohina then started to rapidly go through my records, at the same time asking if cancer ran in my family. It did. Of course, it was in my records, but she clearly hadn't read my records until that very moment. I then expected her to ask if I had any symptoms like night sweats, fatigue, etc. She didn't. Instead she began going through my chart and mentioned that maybe I needed a thyroid test. She then noted that I hadn't had a colonoscopy in 10 years. At this point I decided to cut to the chase. I said I had previously spoken with a physician. He said I needed 2 things immediately: blood work and a diagnostic mammogram. Rohina asked me to wait a moment. She went in to consult with a physician in the medical practice. When she returned, she said we could proceed with a Routine Mammogram, and a Thyroid Test. I immediately walked into Dr. Vidwan's office, uninvited, and explained the situation. Dr. Vidwans edited Rohina's proposed directive. The thyroid test was scratched. The "routine mammogram screening" was changed to "a diagnostic mammogram." Dr. Vidwans then ordered my blood to be drawn immediately at the office so it could be sent in that day for testing by a lab. In short, my experience with Rohina Ahmed was that she came late. She hadn't a clue why I had made the appointment. She hadn't done her homework by reviewing my records. And she ordered tests that were not specifically relevant to my condition.

I received no…read moreresponse from the following sent on February 27, 2025, so after much research, we joined the practice of Dr. Elizabeth Weaver in Herndon. Outstanding front desk staff. Dear Dr. Mir and Dr. Zahir, Dr. Mir, thank you for the time yesterday to discuss x's Vitamin D levels, and a few front office concerns. I totally get that there is a demanding job to be done for so many patients, but I wanted to share my experiences shown in the attached of phone calls diverted to text and DAYS to respond where often I'd have to choose between calling again or texting again ... or just moving on with my life to figure my question out for myself, managing two littles, a household, work, teaching, volunteering, etc. I was so sick in September and am deeply grateful for Dr. Zahir's immediate diagnosis of pneumonia, but I had a follow-on concern regarding a prolonged roller-coaster fever that wouldn't break for several days. It was FRUSTRATING to call, get diverted to text then have the texts ignored for days. It was FRUSTRATING to not be able to have a simple question answered - should my daughter and I get our bloodwork taken first before having a follow-up regarding our Vitamin D levels? If yes, could someone submit bloodwork orders? Again, no one picked up the phone, my text was misunderstood, and it took far too much time for me to chase down an answer to this simple question. It was FRUSTRATING that our follow-up appointments were canceled. It was FRUSTRATING that it took so much time to find an alternate dates/times. It is FRUSTRATING to receive four texts in a week to confirm/check-in for any appointment. It was FRUSTRATING to pull my daughter out of class only to have the receptionist tell us not to come in because the appointment was scheduled as virtual. I had planned to be in person because I wanted to have her BP checked after she recently experienced super low BP from a serious flu. It was FRUSTRATING to have her later in our conversation say, "Well, you can come in if you'd like." Because the appointments were now pushed back to 3:15 and 3:30, I would have been late to pick up my son at his school just down the street from your office as I had originally planned. It was FRUSTRATING to receive a demand call ten minutes before our follow-up appointment on February 27, shaking me down for payment after the FIRST AND ONLY bill was emailed on February 11 that, if not paid, we could not keep the appointment with you. It was FRUSTRATING that she didn't explain upfront: x amount is for x service on x date for x person. She whizzed through the balance due without explaining these details until I finally said, "Hold on. Why haven't I received a bill until now for appointments in September and October?" to which the response was, "We emailed you a bill on February 11." It was FRUSTRATING that I have concerns about my own health but didn't have time (or demeanor) to have a focused conversation with you yesterday. Hopefully I'll find time soon to go through the process of calling, texting, waiting then needless back and forth to set an appointment. May I respectfully suggest going through patients' calls and texts, observe how patients are treated, and perhaps it will become apparent that simply picking up the phone to talk with patients, not forcing patients to text their concerns, clearly responding to them within a reasonable time frame, and, most of all, have a CARING attitude will make a significant difference. As healers, you and your husband know as Maya Angelou said, Patients "will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel."
