I was told by a doctor named Steven Chen that he wasn't going to help someone like me. Who is like me? Waited 3 hrs for help and was treated like an animal once I wanted to expose the way I was getting treated. The nurses demanded I leave and didn't want to help once Chen said something to them. I never yelled or was angry. I just said i was going to record them. They WILL ADD THEIR OWN OPINIONS AND HOW THEY FEEL ONTO YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS. NO FACTS OR PROOF NEEDED. Chen even put in my medical notes. I was highly upset because I didn't get high-level medication. After the fact, he said what he said to me and threw my papers in my lap and walked out. After not getting assistance for 2 hours.. he was more upset i was going to record him. Way more than me being neglected and talked down to. Trying to cover his own actions, falsifying my medical records to make it look like it's about medication and not his neglect as a doctor, along with his unnecessary comments. I said multiple times that I just needed help at that moment. He even pressed on my injured area 3 times and saw my pain. Why hurt your patient and not even do anything to help. I felt like he didn't see me as human, especially when the nurse came and just pulled my iv out of my arm and said, "You need to leave. ".. NO hi or are you okay.. just yanks my iv out, and i need to leave. Idk why I even had an IV to start.. no one told me what was happening, and one nurse told me to shhh when I asked questions about my x-rays. I'm at the ER for a reason, I needed HELP. Couldn't manage the pain on my own any longer. When I asked for pain relief, "You're not getting it from me," Is what Chen said. I asked for another doctor, and he leaned back against the counter, crossed his legs, laughs, and said he was the only. You can tell he enjoyed having power over my pain. They are not here to help US. On top of that, Brian Miller from INOVA compliance department calls so I can make a statement to INOVA and says, " Well, what do you want me to do about it?" Its like no one wants to do their job. They don't care about "people like me" I'm trying to figure out still, who's like me? Who do I need to be to get help?.. it's scary that doctors don't have to actually help and they can say what they want and get away with it.

It is a health facility. I went upstairs to the office and people were sitting and one woman was standing on a blue floor circle waiting for one of two female staffer behind the window to take their name and reason for the visit. One staffer was helping a woman and had to verbalize to the staffer closest to the entry door to the office a few times that I was standing there and waiting. I am tall and hard to miss. It gave the impression that she did not want to help me, especially when I noticed how she rapidly helped other people who came in and stood on one of the two blue circles (helps with socially distancing I believe). Also, I had to go downstairs to get an Xray and was visibly in discomfort, yet one of the female staffers behind a window made me walk over a few times (different counters) and then told me to sign in on the other side, etc. I got the impression that she did not want to do her job and could care less if someone is in pain or not.

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.

From the owner: An internal medicine doctor, also called an internist, has extensive training in preventing,…read morediagnosing, and treating diseases. 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.

He ran tests and gave me a prescription to cure bronchitis...which it did, but I was still unable to breathe. It turns out that I had developed environmental/allergic asthma. During this scary month, I knew that I was in good hands with Dr. Farah. Furthermore, he recommended specialists who share the same characteristics. My asthma is now under control.
