I had to ask them for a real referral during my next visit because that practice wasn't covered by my insurance. Then I needed some routine laboratory testing and they sent it to a bizarre lab that my major insurance doesn't cover, instead of the many that it does, without discussing it with me. I ended up with a surprise $300 bill. I'm not going back.

If I could give zero stars, I would. It's been a while since we visited, but it is worthwhile for…read moreme to reflect on the terrible experiences I had with this "medical practice". Let's start with the front desk, as that's the first thing you'll see upon arrival. The receptionist (and billing person), Maria, is one of the rudest people I've ever encountered. She called me once to ask a question (I honestly can't recall what about) and when I called back her first words were, "Why didn't you pick up when I called?". I was floored. It was the same day! She argued with me about the craziest thing that was HER fault! I later spoke with the doctor about it and he convinced me he would handle it. Based on the comments from others, I am certain he didn't. She's completely toxic. More on her later. I am by no means a snob, but the aesthetics of this place are downright disgusting. Everything appears to be from the 80's, from the wallpaper to the curtains, to the flooring to the weird clown fabric decor. Maybe they should have used some of the money they basically stole from us to redo their office. We came for both allergy shots and for pediatrics. We came every Saturday morning for nearly a year for allergy shots. Each time we came in, we were charged for an office visit. We never saw the doctor, just an inept "nurse" who sometimes showed up to work. I thought this was the norm until I called around to other offices. We were basically charged twice what we should have for an ENTIRE YEAR! While this isn't illegal (I consulted my insurance company), it is completely unethical. I've since found a practice that does our shots each week for the cost of just the shot. Now, let's talk about the pediatrics. I brought my son for his annual physical, which is 100% free with my insurance. I received a bill for a co-pay of $30. When I called Maria (there she is!) to discuss, I was told because I "asked questions during the visit" and because my son still used a pacifier, it didn't qualify as a regular physical. This is what finally cost them my business. They are unethical and should not be allowed to practice medicine. It is absurd how we were treated! Let this be a warning to anyone even considering them, please stay far far away. Your children and you deserve so much better.

He focused on my thumbs that I am aware are arthritic, but not the reason I came in to see him. Nor did he suggest the thumbs are in any way connected to the other issues. I left with no recommended course of action to address my swollen right hand that I am unable to use, and a shoulder so painful I cannot sleep. He did tell me to take turmeric come back and see him in 4 to 6 weeks. Hard no on the return visit. I have made an appointment with another hand, arm, shoulder specialist but am suffering through the time wasted with Dr. Miller. I will never recommend him. He also left me waiting for him in the closed exam room for 30 minutes.

She suggested going to Dr. Miller and right away he was able to determine that my son broke his Hammate bone. He gave us the option to give it time to let it heal on it's own (which originally sounded like the best option), but then he stated that it will likely break again given that my son plays multiple sports. He then gave the option to have surgery to remove the broken bone. The surgery was quick and easy. His entire staff was wonderful as they took care of my son and all of his concerns. He was healed in 6 weeks and is back to hitting and working out in preparation for his coming Spring basball season. We're thankful that our son was able to find someone so knowledgable and caring to help us through this.

Each visit was reassuring--their expertise and clear care plan helped ease my anxiety throughout my pregnancy and delivery. Dr. Zaita was the first to diagnose my condition. She took the time to thoroughly explain what to expect, answered all of my questions, and made both my husband and me feel supported and confident in our care. Dr. Pickford delivered my son and acted quickly in making the best medical decisions for both of us. She communicated clearly during my C-section, which helped me feel calm and informed, and she provided exceptional care throughout the procedure and recovery. Dr. Uthaman was incredibly compassionate during my appointments and went above and beyond by checking on me and my baby while we were in the hospital, which meant so much to our family. My family and I are so grateful we made the decision to switch to Fair Ridge OBGYN. We truly couldn't be happier with the care we received!

I wanted to wait until I went through the whole process before reviewing, so talk about an almost year wait to say my peace. I found this place through my insurance, however it did not update that I believe Dr. Hodges was retired. I purposely seek him as he specialized in an issue I was concerned over. When making the appointment they did not make me aware he was retired (assuming by the time I came along he might've just retired). One of the reasons I held out was because the first ob I saw was Dr. Uthaman. He is newer to the practice but has great bedside manner. And seemed to be pro for non invasive treatment and had knowledge on his belt on issues a POC may face vs non. I was lucky enough to have seen him a few times (wish it was more) during my time and he was one of the doctors that assisted in my delivery. Besides him I felt that Dr. Jabola, Dr. Zaita, and NP Fulop were safe bets. Dr. Black was the main doctor at my delivery and she seemed fine but that was the only time I saw her so I can't speak too much on her. But she didn't make the delivery miserable so there's that. I don't want to get into too many details of my gripes but here's a little snip of some things I'd note. I specifically avoided FNP Stone per reviews floating around. If I knew someone who was going here I'd tell them to avoid Dr. Pickford she's pretty condescending and rough. The front desk staff is a hit or miss. Sometimes you get a good one, other times you regret coming in and question why you continue to go here. As far as billing that can be a mess too (luckily that percentage for me of hot mess was low) All and all I'm glad I survived (mentally and physically) here. Hopefully this will help the next person.

I owe EVERYTHING to Dr. Hope. For two and a half years I dealt with excruciating pain and numbness…read moredown my left arm that worsened to the point I was practically disabled. Doctor after doctor said to me "Go to PT", "Take this medicine", "Your MRI doesn't show anything severe so there's no reason to operate" - meanwhile, I progressively lost the use of my left arm. I couldn't drive, sleep, eat, cook, work, etc. My pain management doctor had tried cervical steroid injections, rhizotomies (burning the nerves in my neck), facet injections, trigger point injections - literally everything short of surgery. After failing two epidurals he said it's now time to go see a neurosurgeon. He recommended Dr. Hope. I always make it a point to get at least three opinions and go with the opinion that two docs share. The first doc at INOVA blew me off (Dr. Hamilton). The second doc reluctantly would do the surgery and he wanted to fuse three of my cervical vertebrae (C3 - C6) which was a big surgery and would leave me with somewhat limited movement in my neck. Dr. Hope was the final doctor I saw and said to me after hearing my saga of care for the past two years looked me straight in the eye and said "You poor thing - you're practically disabled and you're still trying to make the best of everything. I can fix you. I can help." He said there was no reason to do three levels and told me we would do the level that correlated the most to my symptoms, saying that if things worsened we could always go back in and do more. I got scheduled for surgery within three weeks and when my insurance company originally denied it because they said my MRI wasn't bad enough, Dr. Hope did a peer-to-peer review and got it overturned so I could have it done. I went into INOVA Fair Oaks Hospital on 2/22/17 a broken down, half useless person. I came out on 2/23 a woman who was put back together again. For the first time in two years I had total use of my arm. I could feel things with my fingers. I cried because I was so overcome with emotion. When I saw Dr. Hope for my 2 week checkup, he explained to me that my MRI didn't show all of the damage that was inside my neck - bone spurs that were wrapping around my spinal cord and fragments of blown disc everywhere. He told me I could've been put out of my misery months before if someone would've listened to my complaints. Within six weeks, I had total range of motion in my neck. Within three months, I was back to light exercise. Within five months, I was cleared to go back to full exercise and to go about my life a fully functional individual. Due to being rearended at 40 mph at the end of August (six months to the day after surgery) and the immediate return of presurgical nerve symptoms, I am pursuing care with Dr. Hope again because all of my symptoms came roaring back. They correlate to the vertebrae immediately beneath my surgery site. I may end up having to have my neck operated on again but that's okay - I trust Dr. Hope implicitly with my care. TL;DR version: Dr. Hope is a neurosurgical god amongst men. If you are broken, he will fix you the right way. He truly cares, which is rare to find someone of his caliber in today's healthcare community.

I received a report he…read morecreated, which included many falsifications, errors, and speculations, which I can support with evidence and documentation. I notified the Virginia Board of Licensing, and I was informed that this type of conduct by a doctor is unethical and can be reported.

One would expect to feel reassured that a doctor who takes the Hippocratic Oath would act in an honest and ethical manner when serving the public. As an active licensed RN for the last 16 years with an MSN from Georgetown University, along with 14 years of combined clinical ICU and management experience in health care facilities up to the level of Director of Nursing, I would strongly recommend that one obtain a second opinion and select another provider.
