I was seen much later than expected, due to patient volume. Dr. Engel handled my sensitive areas very roughly and performed the procedure as if in a hurry. What's worse - it was unsuccessful! The staff wasn't contrite when I informed them and instead wanted to reschedule. I will get the procedure done elsewhere. Avoid this practice. Oh, also Tony Kornheiser was in the office that day, and Dr. Engel bragged that he'd get a shoutout on Tony's show at the end (he didn't).

In 2021, I was referred to Dr. John Losse, who at the time shared a practice with Dr. Jason Engel…read more After several weeks of being unable to reach Dr. Losse or his assistant following my in office biopsy to schedule a follow-up appointment, I went to the office in person and was informed that Dr Losse had abruptly left the practice. I was told Dr. Engel would review and potentially assume care as one of his patients, so I scheduled an appointment. My initial appointment was uneventful however, I did find it odd that Dr. Engel, started off by indicating he would've never approached my case the way his former colleague had essentially throwing him under the bus, but I did appreciate his directness. and honesty. Dr. Engel promptly arranged for a biopsy at an outpatient facility, which identified three cancerous lesions in contrast to a prior in-office biopsy that had received from his former practice colleague that indicated I was cancer-free. For that, I am grateful. However, during my follow-up visit, I asked a few questions, two of which were: whether post-surgical treatment if needed could be coordinated in Baltimore (as I was planning to relocate), and whether he had observed more aggressive prostate cancer cases among African-American patients given my family history of fatal outcomes. In response, Dr. Engel told me that my question about racial disparities was "one of the dumbest questions" he had heard and suggested that perhaps I should start treatment in Baltimore. He then exited the exam room. I was surprised and disappointed by the tone and manner of the interaction, especially given the seriousness of a cancer diagnosis and the well-documented disparities in prostate cancer outcomes. I later sought treatment at Johns Hopkins, where I experienced excellent care and professional communication. While I cannot and would not, speak to Dr. Engel's clinical competence, my personal experience with communication and bedside manner was not one I would recommend. Respectfully submitted Damon D

I would strongly encourage anyone who is seeking a vasectomy to seriously reconsider. Do your…read moreresearch and fully understand that what you will hear from this practice is a misleading representation of stats and outcomes regarding the risks of this seemingly common procedure. I waited over two years to post this review as I know I can't change my decision, but perhaps I can help others learn from my research. I had a vasectomy done in late 2018 and months later started developing Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome, a condition I was not even aware existed until after the procedure was done. At first these guys were great, they ordered ultrasounds, made time to hear my concerns but once the pain continued and no obvious answers were found, I was referred out for pain management and that was that. Two years later am still experiencing ongoing daily pain that will likely be lifelong despite a reversal earlier this year. I was willing to pay the premium price tag for the individualized attention of the practice, but if you are part of the 15% of men who develop any longterm complications from the procedure--you are on your own because they'll act like PVPS doesn't exist. Welcome to Hell. PVPS affects upward of 15% of men according to a 2016 study. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4854072/) The consequences are lifelong and very difficult to pinpoint. Their consent form is a laughably thin single page document which cites the possibility of some post-operative pain and complication, but PVPS and lifelong pain is mentioned exactly zero times. These guys are great salesmen. You walk in thinking, "It's simple, quick, effective, and has no impact on anything other than fertility and this is white glove service. False. Nowhere does it mention the well documented possibility of PVPS which has been known for decades. Had I been presented with true outcome risks and a true understanding of the longterm impact I would have walked out the door, and you should too. As Warren Buffett famously said, "Never ask a barber if you need a haircut" and never let a urologist sell you on a vasectomy.

He has not read the MY CHART which is how INOVA communicates after he did a surgery. So as far as I am concerned and I am retired fron medicine: many of the 'support staff" that means nurses do not comprehend what is in the charts.. and even the doctors seem to not be able to make a decision, including Dr Holt w/ regard to long term patient care. I am not sure why. Dr Hold needs to either cut back on this patient load at Fairfax INOVA; or take a vacation and make some decisions about how one person cannot cope w/ his patient load. His staff (nurse Stephanie) was excellent but the FFX INOVA hospital itself was a total mess the day of the surgery. I like him very much, this is a very difficult time to be in medicine.

I was at my wits end with not being able to find a qualified urologist quickly. I was grateful to find Dr. Morrison and even luckier that he was able to fit me in within a couple weeks. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and even asked questions that other urologists (he was my second opinion) did not. I'm really happy they are affiliated with Adventist Hospital because he was able to quickly pull up my scans from when I was in the ER. He even offered to let me see my scans and keep copies of it. At one point I was like: "I can take pictures of my scans?!" (What has the world come to!) The front desk manager was super friendly and professional (definitely unlike a typical medical practice). The technician that did my intake was efficient and polite. The practice occupies the entire 4th floor, so there was plenty of space. Easy to find. There is some street parking and some spots available in a small lots attached to the building, if you are lucky. I would definitely recommend seeing Dr. Morrison.

From first losing my urine sample and making me return to the office for a second one, to somehow submitting all claims to a past insurance member number that hasn't been active for a decade (though I handed them the current insurance card), this place has been a nightmare to handle my claims. They also will not forward my records to my GP despite multiple requests. I spoke with the office 6 times over 5 weeks before they agreed to refund the charges to my credit card which would have been fully covered if they submitted the claim through my actual insurance member number. Now I'm being hounded by the laboratory for the cost of lab work that was submitted to the wrong insurance, 7 weeks afterward. I hope No problem Ndidi finds a new office home for her great care, as this office will not see me again.

The doctors were amazing but we are going to have the results done somewhere else because their office associates are not professional what so ever. I wish I could give 0 stars for them.

After my procedure I had to come here for follow up. A bit inconvenient for me, especially with the…read moreoffice in National Harbor being my homebase. I'm told that National Harbor is still in the midst of setting up and that is why I needed to come here. What is interesting about this location is that it is in a well established office/medical building that kind of makes you feel like you are in an actual hospital. I showed up and did my check in and had to wait a bit. To note: I stopped here during the Halloween season and they were directed for such. It wasn't very calming to my anxiety to see decorations stating the area I was about to go into for my follow up said it was 'contaminated' and having zombie arms reaching out to you. With my anxiety in high gear I am called back and walked through the maze to the room where I will be seen. Vitals taken, and instructions given to me quickly. I knew I was there to have a stint removed and to be given the instruction quickly, having never done this before, baffled me. I stood there stunned and had to ask for the instructions again. Given the instructions again I proceed to get ready and positioned for the tech to come back in. Tech comes in, and I have to hand it to her, she is good at distraction. Not sure how many of you out there have ever had anything done in the undercarriage area of your body, but everything they do in that area catches you by surprise. As I am, uh, being prepped, the tech is talking and explaining to me that I am going to be numbed. Her distraction technique was simple, keep talking as if you are gong to do it and then do it a few seconds later. I was in mid-answer when, wham-bam, inserted and numbed. I don't think I even finished my answer. Laying there, naked from the waste down (covered, mind you), feelin more vulnerable than I have ever been in my life. Being inserted into and numbed, in walks the doctor. With my head swimming, the doctor walks me through what is about to happen next. Anxiously I nod my head yes after he finishes and asks if I understand allowing for him to proceed. Continually coaching me to breathe through it all. Mind you, there is a monitor in the room that allows for the doctor to see where he is inside you and also allows for you to watch as well. Now, to have another object inserted into an exit hole while being able to watch it like it's a Netflix documentary is a surreal experience. When it reaches the spot where this thing has been sitting inside you for about a month at that point and you see a claw expand from the end, grab a hold the this thing, and the doctor tells you to take a deep breath...WOW! I never felt anything like that in my life, even with the undercarriage being numbed. The doctor was pleased with the stint coming out without any problems. Pleased with the procedure he tells me I won't need antibiotics, it may feel funny to me for a bit in the undercarriage area, and that I should be back to normal in about a day or two. All after declaring, "It's a boy" after the extraction. The one thing I didn't care much for here was the customer service from the front desk. It was like I was intruding to those member of the staff. I filled out my paperwork, paid my copay, and sat and waited to go back. Then, weeks later I get a bill in the mail for my copay, which I clearly paid while there. I have received several statements now at home stating I have not paid. When I go onto the website and sign into their portal, type in the statement number, I am told I have no balance due. I would gladly pay the $10, but I'm not sending it via the mail when your website clearly has registered I already paid in office. I can't wait for them to attempt to send me to collections for that $10 I already paid in person.
