I tried to call to schedule an appointment and could not reach the office. They asked me a bunch of questions and was on the phone for 20 minutes only for them to transferred me to the nurse station. There is no way to even call the office without now going through Sentara. When I finally got through with the nurse they send me to the ER. My doctor would have never send me to the ER for just and UTI. They do not care about the "Personal" interaction any more. I hate this office now. I miss my doctor a lot and the small office not some robotic agency. Dr. John was a great doctor and was very personal in the past. I'm guessing the change to be Sentara was a business decision that relieves Dr. John and his previous staff of day to day issues but it's a horrible change!!! Now we can't even talk to the office. If this is now the new normal with the change to Sentara it's definitely not patient oriented or in anyone's best interest. Actively looking for another doctor.

Unacceptable Treatment and Lack of Professionalism…read more I just received a call about moving my appointment on 9/23/25 to a different doctor, and I am absolutely furious! At first, a male staff member called me to ask if he could shuffle some dates around and promised to call me back. But then, I was confronted by an extremely rude female staff member who treated me like I should be grateful for keeping my original appointment. When I asked if this meant I was still being switched to a new doctor, her response was outrageous! She had the audacity to say they were trying to accommodate a cancer patient by taking my appointment but decided to keep me instead. Are you kidding me? Just because I have work commitments that prevent me from changing my dates, I'm now made to feel like the villain here. This level of unprofessionalism from your front desk staff is unacceptable. It's glaringly obvious that they lack proper training and seem to have a disdain for their jobs. I expect better treatment and communication from a healthcare provider!

I recently received pain management treatment from Dr. Shanbhag for a severe thoracic pain issue,…read moreand the experience was exceptional from start to finish. I arrived in extreme discomfort, and Dr. Shanbhag took the time to thoroughly understand my symptoms and recommend a thoughtful, targeted treatment plan. I underwent a combination of trigger point injections, prolotherapy, and PRP therapy. Although Dr. Shanbhag initially anticipated that I might need three to four PRP sessions, the results were incredible--after just one PRP treatment, my pain completely disappeared. The effectiveness of the treatment exceeded all expectations and made a life-changing difference. The office staff is equally impressive: consistently friendly, professional, and efficient. They help create a calm, welcoming environment that makes every visit smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Dr. Shanbhag for anyone seeking knowledgeable, and truly effective pain management care. The entire team is outstanding.

Dr. Farah has been my primary physician for about 4 years. I like him because he is quiet,…read morepatient, and listens (unlike my previous physicians who seemed to think they could read my mind and shove me out the door as soon as they could). He also answers my endless stream of questions thoughtfully, never giving me the impression that I am annoying him or taking up his precious time. He was instrumental in helping me through a very dangerous and scary period of illness. I was quickly having trouble breathing and becoming feverish. He ran tests and gave me a prescription to cure bronchitis...which it did, but I was still unable to breathe. It turns out that I had developed environmental/allergic asthma. During this scary month, I knew that I was in good hands with Dr. Farah. Furthermore, he recommended specialists who share the same characteristics. My asthma is now under control. I have recommended Dr. Farah to my husband and my close friends. He is an internist, so his specialty is adult care, not pediatrics. By the way, the address has changed to 1275 Financial Loop, Woodbridge. The phone number is unchanged.

Best thing, I feel about her is that she talks to you and treats you like you are a human being instead of just another patient. The entire staff is friendly and makes you feel so welcome. If you are someone who is not fond of the doctors office, they will put you at ease and make you feel comfortable throughout your visit.

Ruth did not ask my parent to step out, and sensitive questions--like whether I feel safe at home--were asked in front of my mom. She also didn't ask about sexual activity at all. I had planned to discuss birth control, but I didn't feel comfortable bringing it up with my parent in the room and didn't want to ask her to leave myself. I think it's important for teen patients to have some private time with their provider so they can ask questions and be honest, especially about topics like safety, mental health, and reproductive health. Big fail on the behalf of this provider, will stay at this practice but I will be switching doctors.

She refused to sign the physical form unless he received the vaccines, even though I explained the urgency of needing the paperwork for school. The visit felt unhelpful and like a waste of time. I'll be finding another clinic that listens, communicates respectfully, and works with parents on timing and concerns. Also, the scheduler should mention who i am seeing if i am seeing a nurse or a doctor. I will not go back there, it was a waste of time, we can find another doctor who can listen to us and really care.
