Earlier this week I visited the Manassas Heart Center - for what I hope is my one and only visit. I…read morewent in for a physical recently with a new Doctor and talked about my desire to get back in the gym and lose some weight - I've been experiencing some conditions that led me to worry about my cardiovascular health. So I was scheduled for a Nuclear Stress Test. They inject a radioactive isotope into your cardiovascular system - then use a special imaging system to capture imagery of your heart and cardiovascular system. Then they put you on a treadmill, hook up a bunch of sensors to you, get your heart rate up to 148, then inject another round of radioactive isotope into your system - then re-image you a second time. After you get off the treadmill, you are then allowed to eat some snacks and drink juice or water which they provide. The two ladies who were the nurse technicians who ran me through the sequence of steps were very nice. They warn you to expect to be there 3-4 hours - I got out in 2.5 hours. My results came back today and no problems were found - so onto the gym!

I called to request my prescrition to be sent to the pharmacy next to my new house, because they have sent to my old house 20 miles away and the staff person person said "Can't you pick it up in the other pharmacy?". She didn't give me the change to present my self and started calling mam too many times and questioning me in a bad manner. Until I told her I was not going to speak up with her no more. The first priority in a customer service at a doctor's office if to make the patient to feel confortable and be helpful and not integorrate and give a sermon. If this lady had time to give me a sermon she had time to help me. I am sure I am not the only being treated poorly! It is a pitty because the doctors in this office are pretty good! They should train who they contract to be face-to-face with patients!!!!

I would not recommend using the lab on the third floor at this location. I've been there several…read moretimes and the female lab technician is intolerable. I drove a long ways In a lot of traffic to get to my appointment. I called to let them know I would be late. When arriving to the facility, the parking was terrible. I circled round and round with 4 other cars desperately looking for a space. When I got to the lab the receptionist spoke to the lab technician about my arrival. I could hear her saying, " she was suppose to be here at 9:30." He came back and wanted to reschedule me for a 15 minute procedure. It is amazing, knowing that the facility has out grown the parking lot, that you would not fit in a heart patient that communicated with you, and did everything in my power to get there for an important test. I knew from previous experiences with this lab, not late just overall attitude that would probably be the case. I hoped that I was wrong, but no the feelings I already had were right! Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere! The doctors are very nice.

It was at most 5 minutes to stay, and I was called back literally 20 minutes before my scheduled appointment time. It was not a first, but I was pleasantly surprised. I met with the nurse first, she checked my vitals, went over medications and got an EKG. She made sure I didn't have questions before Dr. Benton came in. He, too, was excellent and came highly recommended. We discussed what occurred and he wanted to do a series of tests to try and determine what happened. We discussed a plan and then he took questions from me and didn't rush me out the door until I was finished. I'm not used to this type of doctor though pleasantly surprised. This is the first time I've seen a cardiologist in this area and I highly recommend Dr. Benton and Virginia Heart.

My entire experience with this business has been horrible from the visit to billing. They were…read moretesting new equipment during my visit, so the tech was learning with two vendors in the room. When the doctor arrived, there were 5 bodies in the room with zero air circulation. There was a fan in the corner of the room that they didn't know how to operate. I'm pregnant and almost passed out from the extra time required for my appt while training, heat, and non existent air flow. After the testing was done, the doctor began to explain the results but spoke very technically, quickly, and inaudibly. I never received a bill to pay so I called the office. They sent me a copy of the bill, but it has been impossible to pay by credit card. I've called the office, the billing company, and no one has been able to help. After waiting nearly an hour for an agent and finally speaking to someone, the call was dropped. It shouldn't be this difficult to pay a bill. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!

Parents looking for a pediatric cardiologist know how hard it is to find one…read more After much research I called Child Cardiology Associates, from my initial phone call I knew I had made the correct decision. I was able to get a new patient appointment for my child, within two weeks. The office building has plenty of parking spaces, and the office is clean and modern. The waiting area has plenty of space and a children's play area my child enjoyed while we waited. The front desk staff was knowledgeable and professional. The medical assistant was absolutely wonderful. She was excellent and explained in child terms everything taking place during our appointment. She put my child at ease with all the information she was giving us. The EKG and sonogram equipment was modern, the examination rooms were spotless and spacious. The sonographer was professional and the Doctor absolutely amazing. I am very pleased with everything about this office. Do not hesitate making an appointment and taking your children to this pediatric cardiology practice. We didn't have to wait to see the doctor or get our results.

My son's primary sent him for an EKG which showed severe issues with his heart. The doctor reading these EKGs was with this practice and said my son needed a follow-up. I was not available for the initial call back and so I called and called and called and called back. You get my point. I left messages for them to call me back and that I needed to schedule an appointment for a follow-up and they never called me back. My husband went in person to their Manassas office on a Thursday and they were closed. We called their other offices in the area and they told us that we had to speak to the Manassas office. Yes, these other offices actually answered their phone. FINALLY GAVE UP. We proceeded with the only other pediatric cardiologist in our area and they were so kind and receptive to getting our 15 year old son to be seen. He has now had his now life saving procedure and is doing well. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS PRACTICE. I don't know if the doctors are good as we never got to see them. Can you imagine getting to see them and never being able to have a follow-up? We wasted so much time in just trying to contact them. Read reviews elsewhere as they show the true picture of this Manassas practice.
