Cannot leave a message for a particular provider nor can you check on your appointment. I've been going there for over 20 years. It is a disaster since Sentara took over.

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!

Dr. Posner went a step further after becoming an internist. He went through rigorous continuing education to earn his diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine certification, which is only awarded to internal medicine physicians who continue their education and training while in practice. Generally when you're under the care of an internist, you won't need to see any other types of doctors for routine care. Internal medicine physicians, like Dr. Posner, are highly trained at diagnosing even the most complex of health issues. During your visit, he will gather information about your health, and family medical history and discuss any symptoms you're having, or concerned about. It's typical to order some basic lab work, especially if you're just getting set up as a new patient. He might order additional tests if further clarification with any diagnosis is needed. Once he diagnoses medical issues, if any at all, he'll be the one treating you. Or if you have a chronic health condition, like diabetes or high cholesterol, he will teach you how to manage it and prescribe any medications you need. Your primary care physician is an essential partner in your efforts to stay healthy. Even if you never get sick, you still need to see your PCP once a year, just to have screenings done for chronic conditions that may not show any signs.

    We ended up here after my daughters visit to the ER to follow up with them after her discharge…read more The office made it easy to make an appointment for the same day we called. Upon arrival, they check you in immediately and provide all the necessary paperwork that needs to be filled out. Wait time to see the doctor was average however the level of communication between the front office staff and the nurses could be a lot better. One did not know what the other was doing. Not to mention the one test that needed to be performed the tech went to lunch while were were there so we were presented with the option to wait the 30 minute for her to come back or come back another day? Wait, say what?? We are already here why would we leave and come back, plus if it was even a possibility that the times conflicted why not schedule the appointment to account for lunches, etc? I digress, even still after having the breathing tests done they sent her back to the waiting room to wait for the results. After sitting there for another 20 minutes and being asked if we needed anything else, then the tech explains that they would not have the results for 3 to 5 days. Wait, say what so we sat for a wasted 20 minutes when we could have left had that information been conveyed properly the first time around. I will leave the decision up to my daughter if she wants to continue coming here after her follow up visit for her results.

I have been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for approximately three years and sought care to transition to physician-supervised treatment. Instead, this process has been unnecessarily stressful and poorly managed from the beginning. First, an incorrect prescription was sent to CVS for a 7 mL 100 mg/mL formulation, which created confusion and delays. I then had to spend additional time trying to get the prescription corrected, resulting in me missing my scheduled Friday dose. Communication throughout this process has been extremely poor. Calls were not returned in a timely manner, and I was never proactively informed about what changes had been made to my prescription or what the next steps would be. I was left to repeatedly follow up myself. Now I am dealing with prior authorization issues and still have no clear answers. For a patient on long-term hormone therapy, interruptions in treatment can significantly impact how you feel physically and mentally. The entire experience has felt disorganized, frustrating, and lacking in patient care and communication. Patients should not have to chase down answers regarding important medications or be left wondering whether their prescriptions have been properly handled. I expected a much higher level of professionalism and coordination from Millennium Medical Care and would strongly encourage improvements in communication, prescription management, and follow-up care. Before scheduling here, be prepared to advocate for yourself every step of the way.

    I have found nothing lacking in the medical practice and in fact Melanie has gone above and beyond…read moreexpectations.

    The United States has the lowest life expectancy in the US despite paying THE MOST compared to…read moreother 1st world countries, and Dr. Jeffrey Nekoba's office plays its small role in that source: https://ourworldindata.org/us-life-expectancy-low Let me explain. I've been going to Dr. Nekoba's office for maybe a year or two, since it is in my local neighborhood. Very old little office, been there since '94. Jeffrey himself now in his 60s or so, probably looking to retire soon. Here's my problem with his office from both an ethical perspective, and a healthcare perspective: In my opinion, his practice looks to squeeze as much money from patients as possible, while providing little to no benefit from a health perspective, at least in my case. Details: I have been taking the same mild medication, an uncontrolled substance, for the past 20 years. Despite this, his office still requires me to make an appointment every 6 months to ask for a refill. This is done for "my safety, and to see how I'm doing." However, after making an appointment which takes a day or two, and after taking off from work, driving over there, and sitting in the waiting room for 15 minutes, a nurse checks my weight, height, and blood pressure, leads me to a patient room, where I sit another 15-20 minutes. At that point, a nurse practitioner comes in, asks me how I'm doing, and if I need a refill, to which I typically reply, "Yes, I do." She says "Great! We can take care of that!" And the appointment is done. I'm out a couple hundred bucks to make a useless appointment, as well as some valuable time that I could've spent otherwise elsewhere. There is simply no desire to do what's best for the patient. The last time I called to request a refill, the admin picked up, and I asked for a refill, to which she replied that I needed to come in; despite having visited his office 2-3 other times this year for another matter...I even did full blood draws. But she said "it is policy for your safety, and there's nothing we can do." By the way, this lady (admin) is extremely unprofessional and somewhat nasty. She is this older (maybe in her late 50s) white lady, who is a bit overweight, and has light eyes with long hair, a sharp long nose, and a sharp tone. She started becoming confrontational and raising her voice at me when I expressed my frustration about the refill policy. In fact, she starts getting nasty with me, so I do the same to which she says "Oh my God, I'm going to so hang up." What a ridiculous old lady that acts like an overprivileged pre-teen. Now back to the bigger picture. This is the state of the US today. Many offices such as Dr. Nekoba exist in this country. That offer little to no useful medical advice, that see you in and out like a McDonald's, and charge exuberant fees to either the insurance or your own out of pocket costs like you're at a Ferrari dealer. All the while the average patient suffers from a health perspective, as well as a financial perspective. In fact, the sicker you get because you can't get the proper care, the more money you will spend in the long run...a vicious cycle. I understand his practice's point of view...they need to charge customers more, charge insurance more, because the insurance gives them a fraction of the total work they do/did...and so they raise their total prices/costs for their medical services to offset some of those lost costs due to the insurance nickel and diming them. That is likely one of the reasons why they are wanting to see someone like me or you for no apparent reason, to bill up the total costs, so they can squeeze out a profit. Welcome to the new healthcare world in the US. My advice is: If you have non-life threatening symptoms, use Google, or better yet ChatGPT to figure out symptoms, problems, and solutions. If you need a REAL doctor like for example a broken arm, lacerations or other life threatening situations, look up real doctors in your area before such things happen so you can be somewhat prepared. If you need a refill or other things, use Telehealth. I used GoodRX telehealth and was able to talk to a doctor, explain my situation, and got my refill the same day within 15 minutes, with a total cost of about $30! There are new ways to find doctors using technology and other methods that will save you time and money. Unfortunately, the best you can do for your health is to become your own expert vs relying on general practitioners such as Nekoba. Unfortunately, for little ol' Dr. Nekoba's office, his practice is quite dated, with rude old staff, and probably looking to squeeze out a few more bucks from his patients before his practice ultimately shuts down as he retires. A sad little tale from a small town in the big game of insurance and doctor's offloading on the average citizen.
