The Physical Therapists and PTAs are all professional, kind, knowledgeable and worked hard to help me reach my needs and goals. I send a special thank you to Dr. Ben Birley, who is very thoughtful and skilled. He listens, is considerate and personalizes care effectively. I am also grateful to Brinna Heise and Rowan Cummings, who direct exercises specialised to care. The atmosphere at the Springfield clinic is encouraging, lighthearted and supportive. I highly recommend them as a terrific rehabilitative team.

Exceptional experience. The Jackson Clinic, Springfield, VA…read more I just finished several months of Physical Therapy at The Jackson Clinic after a total knee replacement. For background, I had three previous knee surgeries on the same knee, over many years. I never had the benefit of this level of PT expertise during previous surgery recoveries. The PT staff are exceptional. They displayed caring and professionalism at each visit. I could was walking with a walker the first day at Jackson Clinic, three days post-surgery. The walker was gone, and I was walking without a cane in short order. I rapidly progressed under their professional guidance. They frequently checked on how I felt from a pain and endurance perspective. They didn't push too hard, but you do have to push yourself. They offered daily encouragement and increased my exercises and stretching commensurate with my abilities and pain level. They were spot on when determining when to increase the level of exercise activity. The facility and equipment were clean and well maintained. I "graduated" yesterday after seventy-one PT sessions over a period of 6 months. I can easily walk 2+ miles without pain in my surgery knee. After PT rehab my surgical leg measured 10% above the average strength for my age. I have regained the majority of my range of motion, and expect additional range to be gained over the next 6 months. A special thanks to Madalyn, Emme, Brenna, Cassie, Sara, Colin, Rowhan, Tracy, Sara, Kiara, Katie, Jordan and the front desk staff. They all worked together as a team, to assure my success. They were amazing. I hope I don't have a PT need again, but if I do, I know where to go. I recommend The Jackson Clinic with no reservation.

I'm currently on month ten since an injury and Dr. Asomugha is the second doctor I've been to, and…read morethe only one who was able to actually identify a problem and solve it. Wasn't thrilled the solution required surgery, but I am about 10 weeks post surgery and working on getting myself back to normal. I have a pretty long recovery ahead still, but am beyond grateful for Dr. Asomugha and her team. OrthoVirginia is fantastic. Everyone on the staff has been helpful and kind, explained everything I needed and even very patiently spoke to my parents to explain to them what was going on. After about two months of visits, Dr. Asomugha recommended surgery. I am a little over two months since surgery and while I'm still not back to 'normal' life, the (minimal) exercises I am cleared to do in PT are pain free - I am so very optimistic about having a pain free future and getting back to working out again in the near future. In one of my post op appointments, my scar looked hideous and was making me nauseous and she handled my being a giant baby like a charm and told me a story of her having a similar moment, so I felt a lot better about my small freak out. When I had a (non-related to surgery, but in the area) problem, she immediately made time for me, gave me her personal phone number and genuinely showed concern for my issue, even though it didn't have anything to do with her surgery. She truly cares about her patients and their well being. I am so grateful for finding Dr. A online and her team. I have been to both the Duke St. and Walker Lane locations and the staff at both is extraordinarily friendly. Wait times are small, I am always seen within 5 minutes of my appointment time and I never feel rushed, but don't feel like the appointments drag on. I 100000% recommend Dr. A for anyone having leg/ankle/foot issues - I hope that after I am done recovering I never have to use her again, but will in a heartbeat if I ever tear something again. She is an amazing surgeon and a truly fantastic doctor.

The physician's assistant asked all the right questions and I was able to get x-rays on-site. Dr. Asomugha is friendly and thoroughly professional.

Everyone involved in the appointment, including the front desk staff and the medical scribe who took notes during the appointment, was professional and the care was coordinated well. Highly recommend.

My 68-year-old disabled brother had his left hip replaced by Dr. Martinelli a couple of weeks ago…read more During the surgery, Dr. Martinelli left me a voicemail saying "The surgery went very well." Previously, my brother lived on his own, drove a car and went to activities like lunch at the local senior center. However, since the surgery, he has become incoherent, confused and spends his days in a wheelchair at a nursing home. The nursing home staff recommends that he be placed in long-term care. My brother was released from the hospital and admitted to a local nursing home for rehab on August 22. I called Dr. Martinelli's office to voice my concerns about my brother's condition and was placed on hold for about 20 minutes. I conveyed my concerns to his assistant who answered the phone. Dr. Martinelli did call me back a couple of times, saying he was busy and would try me another time. My brother is a wreck, thanks to this disastrous surgery and the cavalier follow-up from the doctor's office. I regret that my brother had the surgery and would not recommend Dr. Martinelli or his staff to anyone.

I was desparate. What to do now?!! And then a friend recommended SPARK. I showed up with tears running down my eyes, my crooked frame and with little hope. After some tests Dr. Kristen diagnosed the issue and after a dry needling session I walked out of there like a human- with my back straight. After the second session my life was back to normal. Hallelujah. A true miracle in my book. I am forever grateful. I highly recommend SPARK Physiotherapy to everyone with any pain. All of the therapists are top notch and extremely knowledgeable. Do it- trust me on this one.

After three sessions there to try to treat a shoulder/neck injury, I had not been given any dry needling that I asked for and felt that I was simply being rushed, as my therapist was always trying to move to his next appointment. In one hour with Matt, he found muscles in my shoulder that I didn't even realize were causing me problems and he FIXED THEM. It was literally amazing. By the end of the hour, I had already restored almost the full range of motion of my neck and head. It felt like 3 hours, but it was just an hour to diagnose, treat, and to give me stretches to do at home to prevent soreness. Worth every penny.

I had a bunionectomy on my left foot with Dr. Oliver Schipper, and my experience was absolutely…read moreamazing from start to finish. I previously had the same surgery on my right foot with a different orthopedic surgeon, and the recovery was extremely long and painful. Because of that experience, I was honestly nervous going into this procedure. However, Dr. Schipper completely changed my expectations. I experienced minimal pain and very little swelling, and the healing process was fast and smooth. The incision work was excellent -- only three small incisions that healed beautifully. The difference in recovery compared to my prior surgery was night and day. Dr. Schipper is not only highly skilled but also very kind and reassuring. He takes time to explain everything and makes you feel prepared and comfortable before surgery. The office staff is also wonderful -- responsive, organized, and supportive throughout the entire process. You can truly tell he is very experienced in this procedure. I've even referred people I know to him, and they've had great outcomes as well. If I ever needed this surgery again, I would choose Dr. Schipper without hesitation. I highly recommend him. Terry

I've had serious problems with Seema Sharma on every visit. She's been negligent, sloppy and…read moremistake-riddled. I received a radiology order for an MRI, but she made a mess of it. Wrong description of my condition, wrong Billing Code, vague language that would mean it wouldn't be covered by insurance. When she gave it to me, I suggested it was incomplete. She laughed, snidely saying I was wrong. Another time, I mentioned nasal congestion, sinus congestion and difficulty breathing, suggesting aspirin might be the cause. She said this was impossible. She is dead wrong. It is widely known that aspirin can cause these symptoms. It's embarrassing and disturbing that she doesn't know this. Sharma wrote me a paper prescription for Voquezna. I asked her to send it electronically to CVS but she sent the wrong dosage. Getting the dosage wrong is a serious mistake that can kill people. When I saw her for back pain, she gave me cyclobenzaprine, which is contraindicated for patients who have a number of conditions that I have. Sharma never should have prescribed this. A potentially fatal error on her part. I ended up in the ER with severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, tingling in my arms and legs. I'd been fine beforehand. Sharma has very poor social skills and a non-existent bedside manner. During our consultations, she makes no eye contact, rarely speaks, and mumbles in a manner that's difficult to understand. She takes notes on a laptop throughout, instead of listening and responding to the patient. She clearly doesn't take accurate and complete notes, or chooses to ignore them when preparing prescriptions, orders, etc. Communication is one of the most important factors in healthcare. Her lack of adequate communication skills, coupled with her inability to avoid mistakes, makes her completely unsuited for the job. She is an embarrassment to the medical profession and dangerously incompetent. I have only seen Sharma a few times, but she's managed to cause a great deal of damage. She will undoubtedly harm more patients in the future, if her license is not revoked. As a side note, she attended an Ethiopian medical school ranked 751st in world.
