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.

Went there to get an exam. The attendant was nice and courteous at first. When I paid the first…read moretime they charged me an extra fee so if you pay with credit expect that. Fine, no big deal. I was told this fee was only once. So I pay the first day and she gave me a quote on the final date on how much it was going to be. Went there the second time and I paid the remaining amount she mentioned. She told me this was the last amount I was going to pay. Again, no fee since she said it was only one time. I had to go back the third time and I was charged an extra amount. Not only the fee, but an actual visit as well.... Again! She said she had told me which she never did. So there I go and paid the final amount for the visit plus another fee! She said because it was a different transaction. Also, they set up a time for you to go for your appointment and don't even go by it. I was scheduled on my final day at 10am. I was seen by the doctor at nearly 11:30. On my first visit I told the assistant to get me a list or break down on the services I was getting and paying for so I can get a reimbursement. She said she will type it and give it to me. After so many calls and a month later she finally sent some very simple breakdown not enough for the insurance to accept. She just type and put the amount. Didn't specify the doctor, the medical center, the fees paid etc. During my last conversation with the assistant she was very rude and indifferent. She would give me dumb excuses such as. I was off yesterday, we were very busy, etc. I sent her an email requesting the breakdown again in a format the insurance will accept it and to this date she has yet to reply. I went to my exam on 06/12/16. So.. This place charges you extra fees. They don't honor appointments. They do not keep their promises and the assistant goes from being nice to being arrogant. I never lost my nerve while speaking to her. I was always nice. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

After years of trying to find the right mental health provider, I finally feel like I'm in the…read moreright hands with Mary Hart-Johnson, a highly trained and board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. She is the first provider I've seen who genuinely listens. Most of my past appointments with other doctors felt rushed and focused only on renewing prescriptions, but she actually takes the time to talk with you and understand what's going on. That alone sets her apart. She goes far beyond quick check-ins. She asks thoughtful questions, remembers your history, and works with you to figure out what's helping and what isn't. If someone wants a fast prescription with minimal conversation, she isn't the right fit. But if you want a provider who truly engages with your care, she is exceptional. I also appreciate her balanced approach. She prescribes medication when it's needed, but she also recommends vitamins and supplements to support brain health so you aren't relying solely on pharmaceuticals. It's not an extreme holistic approach and it's not a medication-only mindset. She blends both in a thoughtful, evidence-based way that supports long-term improvement. Over time, I've felt more supported and more understood by her than with any other mental health provider I've seen. She looks at the full picture, not just the symptoms on a chart, and that makes a meaningful difference in how I manage my conditions. If you're looking for someone who combines expertise, compassion, and real attention to your needs, I highly recommend Mary Hart-Johnson, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC. Five stars without hesitation.

I want to start by saying that this is only the 2nd time I've written a review in my entire life,…read morebut I feel obliged after the way I was treat this morning by the doctor here. The young lady at the reception desk was lovely and made me feel extremely comfortable despite my anxiety surrounding visiting the doctors office. The doctor himself however was one of the most rude and unprofessional individuals that I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I came here the day after I had a similar experience at Lake Ridge Internal medicine, hoping things would go differently - they did not. I requested a prescription that my telehealth psychiatrist had referred me for, granted it's a controlled substance but I came with every type of proof necessary to show that it was a legitimate referral. The moment he asked me which medication I wanted he ended our conversation and ushered me out of the door without asking a single question or giving me a chance to show him my documents. Our conversation lasted no more than 30 seconds. I am a grown man currently sat in my car in tears because of how frustrated I am about the way he refused to listen to me, and how embarrassed I feel about being ushered out of here in front of other patients and staff - all while he was telling the receptionist to "take his name off!!". I suffer from social anxiety disorder - the reason for my visit - and an experience such as this is all it takes to push someone like me completely over the edge. This place may be good for you if you have any physical conditions, but don't step foot in here if you expect your mental health to be taken seriously, or even to be listened to at all. The 1 star is for the receptionist, the only redeeming quality about this place. I'd give the doctor 0 stars if I could.

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.
