Dr. Ma was recommended to me by a coworker. When I arrived for my first appointment, I waited 45…read moreminutes in the waiting room (putting me a half hour past my appointment time). After being taken to a room, I waited a further 30 minutes. I try to make doctor appointments on my day off, because I know they can run behind if a patient takes longer than their scheduled time, but if I had been on my lunch break I would have been in a situation. Dr. Ma spent a lot of time with me asking questions and going over my medical history, and initially I felt like it was a productive appointment. THEN. He began asking me if my boyfriend and I were getting married, did we live together, what church did we attend, etc. I'm all for integrative medicine, but it felt entirely inappropriate for an initial visit. He begin rattling off a list of books that I could read to improve spiritual well being and eating habits (vegan diet books). We also discussed the anti anxiety medication that I have been on for several years; he asked if I had considered going off of it, I replied that I had done so once with very negative results, and he said that it sounded like the medication should be lifelong for me. I should mention that this entire time he was taking copious notes and rarely made eye contact due to the note taking. On my second visit, again the wait. I was led into a room almost an hour after my appointment time, and waited even longer; so long, in fact, that I was beginning to wonder if I had been forgotten. The doctor finally came in and seemed super on edge. Not angry, just distracted and hurried. I'm sure he had had a very long day but it was as if he couldn't finish one sentence before starting the next. As we're going over the issue I'm being seen for, he begins to talk about taking me off of my anxiety medication. Really? On my last visit we agreed I should be on it continually. I couldn't believe that wasn't in the notes he had been so busy taking that he could barely look at me. Again he began talking about his favorite books...had I read them, had I ordered them, etc. That was it for me, I didn't go back. Clearly some people appreciate his medical skills, since he was recommended to me, but I can tell you the care is not worth the wait. Overall: *THE WAIT *Will want you to go on a vegan diet. Pushes lots of books/pamphlets regarding that diet. *Recommends lots of self help/lifestyle books. That's fine, except I never asked for any recommendations and wasn't interested in them, yet they were mentioned multiple times. *I spent more time listening to the books I should be reading to improve my life than talking to the doctor about what was going on with me. His active listening skills need a lot of work.

I am a Veteran and chose Fredericksburg Primary Care Clinic through the Community Care service…read more All Veterans, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE! Instead, choose a modern, professional, full-service doctor practice like Mary Washington Hospital Primary Care 540-741-9300 12101 Carol Lane STE 101 Fredericksburg VA 22407. The difference is Night and Day!! MW has modern technology and facilities, MW Doctors are continually being trained in the latest medical treatments and technologies. They offer Veterans way more modern diagnostics with modernized treatments. of interest to Veterans, MW has perfected the VA Community Care Optum processes. Because they are modern they offer online check-in, and use the My Chart app, which makes life SO MUCH EASIER!! No comparison on the level of Veteran care between the two!!! Fredericksburg Primary Care is a 1960s practice with no modernization that does not even staff enough people to answer phone calls. So, if you need to reschedule an appointment, you must physically drive to the office and walk in to do so. MW has an app for that and for all medical interactions. Fredericksburg Primary Care is an antiquated doctors' practice in a run-down old facility that should not even be cleared for a medical practice. Dog kennels are more modern. I have witnessed the hard-working, understaffed front office employees being treated horribly by the lead office administrator and the nurse practitioner, Sandra. The doctor's office is cramped, at least 50 years old, and basic. The administrative area and reception mingle, so one can see how old and broken down the equipment is. Think about how much money that doctor makes and still has broken-down old office equipment. His priorities are very clear, and they are not his facility, staff, or Veterans. They do not organize or plan for daily medical support services, especially the VA's administrative procedures, although they take on VA patients and get paid well for doing so. They also do not answer their phones because, as I quote, the office manager's response: "They ring so much, and we just do not have time to answer them." Because they do not have administrative processes for interacting with VA's Community Care Optum and do not answer their phones, every lab and x-ray consult requires multiple physical visits to request re-faxing the Request for Service forms. The RFS must be refaxed so many times because the untrained staff does not fill out the form correctly, and it is hit and miss if they use the correct fax number. In addition, they do not understand how to bill Optum for visits, so the Vet receives the bill every time. That forces the Vet to spend time on the phone calling Optum so they can pay the bill. This antiquated, disorganized practice should not be allowed in the Community Care network, and I am working hard to remove them.

(UPDATE:) I received a certified letter in the mail from the office manager. She stated that they were withdrawing further care and treatment effective immediately, due to my negative review. They also stated that I am expected to pay my balance within 30 days or they will send it to collections because they are removing my payment plan. Wow, this is completely laughable. Do yourself a favor and find a real practice that will show you care and concern. Not one that will refuse you service because of an opinion. Lucky for me I am relatively healthy, but I would hate to see someone with advanced medical problems get a letter like this. There are many kind, compassionate doctors out there. This practice is beyond help.
