Dr. Vest has done more for me in the time I e been there and I have a better quality of life that I've had in years. A doctor that listens to you is rare these days with all of the commercialism and bureaucracy. No where is going to be perfect but ABT is for me and I recommend that you try them if you are ready to get serious about your mental health or whatever you may be dealing with. Give them a call and make an appointment. The ladies at the front desk want to help you as much as they can. They know their counselors and will suggest the one that will be the best fit for you and your needs while being professional and caring at the same time.

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.

I am writing this review in April of 2026…read more If I were looking for a facility for inpatient or outpatient rehab for myself or a relative, based on some of the reviews here, I would definitely not choose Friendship South. However, I am glad I did not read these reviews when I had to make such a decision for myself about two years ago. For one thing, all of the few reviews here were written more than five years ago. While I have no reason to doubt that the writers are giving their best honest accounts of their experiences with Friendship South, a lot can change over such a time span. (Note: Friendship has several facilities in the Roanoke Valley, which can lead to some confusion; see my note at the end of this review concerning a possible case of such confusion. As the map shows, this forum concerns specifically Friendship South health and rehab on Starkey Road.) I have been an inpatient at Friendship South twice (most recently during January and February of this year) and an outpatient for three stints -- each lasting several months -- over the past two years. I am currently undergoing outpatient therapy for recovery from a back operation. Over the past twenty years, several of my friends and relatives -- including my mother -- have had to spend time in rehab facilities in the Roanoke Valley, so I've seen the good, the not so good and the indifferent (I had to move my mother once). My one exposure to Friendship South was about four years ago when I visited a friend in his 90s who was an inpatient recovering from some procedure. He was in such good humor and spoke so positively about the facility and how he was being cared for that when --- a couple of years later --- I had to decide where I wanted to be sent to recover from a torn ligament in my hip, I didn't hesitate to choose Friendship South. Now, everyone's experience is unique, and mine is as an almost-eighty-year-old man in pretty good health. I have not needed long-term care for a chronic condition or for physical and/or mental decline. I also know that every medical facility is short-staffed, mainly because there is just a shortage of medical professionals at every level. I can say that, almost without exception, every contact or interaction I've had with Friendship South staff -- medical, financial, management, whatever -- has been positive. I've always been treated with courtesy and respect. Has everything I've asked for or every situation I think needs to be addressed been accomplished as quickly as I'd like? Of course not. But I know there are patients whose needs are greater and more urgent than mine. Some need almost around-the-clock attention. My experience with outpatient therapy has been overwhelmingly positive. Turnover is low. I'm still being helped by the same team of therapists who helped me two years ago. They like where they work. They are experienced and competent with a contagious positive attitude. I have come to consider them friends. And most important, what they do and have me do works! Concerning another review: not a criticism, but a clarification. Michelle P. says, "They cannot even light the fireplaces during Christmas for the permanent residents to enjoy." My understanding from conversations with staff at Friendship South is that it has no actual permanent residents; it is a skilled nursing facility where people go for temporary rehab and therapy. Friendship has several facilities in the Roanoke Valley; some are residential nursing homes. Perhaps your experience was with one of the other facilities. Yelp has the heading of this page as just "Friendship," which could contribute to some confusion. To assure myself that I was reviewing Friendship South specifically, I consulted the map on the page.

When we tried to ask for a reasonable explanation, the staff became abusive and impatient with us. There was no reason for the disrespectful treatment.

Edit-I have spoken to Shelli Wright of Kepler Vision and was treated with respect by the senior staff who promised to address the incident.

UPDATE: After seeing a doctor at Blacksburg Eye, I realized that Infinity Eye Care failed to…read morediagnose a progressive condition (keratoconus). At that time, the keratoconus was advanced enough that I had significant night vision troubles, but Infinity didn't have an answer for that. My previous review was from 2020 but my visit was in 2019, and the keratoconus (corneal thinning) had definitely progressed long enough to be detectable. Had the team at Infinity Eye diagnosed it correctly then, I wouldn't have had it progress further all this time. I'm now starting treatment with scleral lenses and possibly cross-linking. That would stop the progression but not reverse it. If I'd pursued that same treatment in 2019, then I could have stopped the progression. Keratoconus is not the most common eye condition, but a skilled opthamologist should be able to catch it, and it's disturbing that that didn't happen here.
