Pediatricians pushing medicine that they aren't knowledgeable of administering. Also, be cautious,…read moresecond opinions don't apply to this practice they don't "co-manage". So if you're child experiences side effects such as depression or anxiety from medicine they prescribe rather than properly having another outside source help before administering medication, they will go ahead and prescribe mental health medications without a mental health diagnosis from a mental health professional. They will not work with outside sources outside of their practice for mental health/psych services because its "messy". Also, when seeking a second opinion my child was removed from their practice without my knowledge until I followed up with concerns/questions about medicine that was prescribed and was told they weren't required to answer my questions because my child wasnt an active patient. All they want to do is get their write off. In my own personal experience with this practice for my child, there had been no compassion or empathy within their practice. It's medicine, medicine and more medicine.

We've been bringing our daughter here since she was born. We specifically see Dr. Preedom and she's…read moreamazing. She addresses our concerns, is willing to explain things in depth, and spends extra time with us if we need it due to questions. It also helps that she calls our daughter "perfect" every time we're there but that's just because I'm a proud dad with a perfect little girl. We're moving in a few months and we will be sad to leave NRV Pediatrics behind. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and make every visit as much of a delight as a doctor's visit can be. I highly recommend going there as your first pediatric choice in Blacksburg.

She did not actually examine me, instead, she rattled off this and that unrelated factoid about migraines, and prescribed something that made me feel worse. Please, there is a patient and a clinician. The job of the latter is to examine the patient and make a diagnosis. No exam, no diagnosis. Thinking is in order

Today I was on time to my appointment and they took me in on time. The forms they had me sign approved exam an cleaning, billed to insurance. The hygienist was good probing my gums for issues, then having the dentist Dr. Woods, checkout my mouth. I thought very little of it when she scheduled a "deep cleaning" in about 13 weeks. Weren't they supposed to clean and scrape the tarter off my teeth during this visit as well? I had to ask an indignant office scheduler if they gave out toothpaste and brush post cleaning. I guess it's something I've come to expect in 65 years of teeth cleaning. I wasn't impressed with the office staffs customer service skills.

She may have been just having a bad day, who knows? Everyone has those days. I try to remember this when people aren't very pleasant to deal with. Sometimes, though, your job requires you to put yourself aside and deal with your clients/ patients with respect, understanding and empathy for their situation. Things only got worse.The doctor was very rude, inconsiderate, condescending and unsympathetic. I had very painful ingrown nails, not swollen or anything, just painful. She immediately came in, very aggressively, and started telling me what she was going to do, as she was doing it. No introductions. Proceeded to dig deep into my toe as though I had no feeling at all in my foot. No numbing (she said that was saved for surgery), just dug in. Of course I yelled out, it hurt, she gave me a look like I was an idiot. Then said my only other option was permanent nail removal. I was shocked because i never considered that as a treatment. She proceeded to leave the room and said to call back when I made a decision. Oh how I wish I would have walked out and gotten another opinion! She's a doctor, so I took her advice and had her remove them. I wanted the pain gone. She, of course, was not gentle with the numbing process. I took the bandages off the next day, as directed for cleaning. She butchered my toes! The cuticles and more flesh has been cut off. There is a deep slice in my nail bed. I expected it to look bad but this is way more. I got on the internet to make sure I wasn't over reacting and found there are many other options than removal. I am devastated! I've never had great self esteem but now when I look at my feet I am completely ashamed and embarrassed. I do NOT recommend going to this woman. She is rude, non empathetic, non informative and generally an over all jerk. I can not believe she is still practicing. If she did me like this, how is she treating the patients that can't speak out for themselves?? Shes horrible! I can't speak for the other doctors at Southwest Podiatry but this was my worst ever doctor visit. I'm afraid to go back for my follow up. Oh why, Oh why didn't I just leave and go somewhere else?! I honestly don't want to go back. The fear is real people, no joke. Now I'm scarred for life physically and emotionally. I would give zero stars if that was an option.
