I just had a colonoscopy done a few weeks ago by Dr Farhad Sahebjam from Gastroenterology…read moreConsultants of Southwest Virginia, which my primary physician recommended I have done as a preventive measure since I'm older than 45 and have never had one done before. With all the myths going around about having a colonoscopy done, I was naturally a little nervous, just like many others probably are. But here at this Center everyone was so friendly and professional that by explaining the procedure and providing me with the knowledge of the advantages of having one done, rather than trying to avoid it, I looked forward to having one done. And Dr. Sahebjam was so kind and caring that he put me at ease the moment I first met him and provided me with the knowledge to understand the procedure and the benefits of it. If any polyps were found they could be removed, providing hope that everything would be alright. My insurance covered the payment for the whole procedure except.the copayment for seeing a specialist and the medications needed to prepare for it, which my CVS pharmacist helped me pay less for these by using a special program they had in which I write about in my CVS Pharmacy review. All the step of the way I was kept informed that it was covered and I wouldn't have to pay a cent. Naturally after reading the negative reviews I was worried but now I know better than to pay attention to them. The Center kept in touch continously with me via phone calls, emails, and text to make sure I didn't miss an appointment and in case I had any questions on the preparation procedure. I had an assigned person to keep in touch in case I had a question on the preparation for the procedure. The colonoscopy was performed at the Lewis Gale Medical Center in Salem, Virginia by Dr Sahebjam. I did have to drink a lot of water after I drank a medication mixed with water, but this made me thirsty enough that I easily drank the extra couple of glasses of water with no problem at all. And being without eating didn't seem to bother me much as I thought it would. A good friend of mine drove me to the Hospital on the morning of the procedure and waited for me there until it was finished. There I was treated very well and interviewed by several people, including hospital staff, nurses, anesthesiologist, and Dr Sahebjam. As soon as they brought me to the procedure room after I changed into hospital clothing, they put the anesthesia into my vein and an oxygen mask and immediately fell asleep that didn't feel a thing. I woke up to the call of my doctor who explained that everything had gone well and showed me the pictures. Since I didn't have any polyps and the results were normal he recommended that I didn't have to have another one done until 10 years. I was given the exit papers including copies of the pictures they took by a nurse, got dressed, and taken in a wheelchair to my friend's car, who drove me home. I week after I had a follow-up visit to the Center where a nurse explain to me how the procedure had gone and saw that I had totally recovered from it. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs to have a colonoscopy done, as well as Dr Sahebjam and his staff.

My husband is a retired Farmer. And I will apologize upfront for how long this review is. It's my…read morefirst review that I've written, and I want to make sure and sing Dr. Harrell's praises. Of course my husband's hearing has been horrible. Also, depending on who it is ( me ) he acted like it was almost to the point of no existence. He never really had time, ( or took ) the time to visit a Dr. throughout the years. I realized that he wasn't hearing well & that it was of course just getting worse. He was agreeing to things our Grandchildren where asking for or to do, which was getting him into trouble with everyone. He finally gave in & had me look around for a Dr. & make the appointment. I (we), made the decision to go to The Hearing Clinic located on Plantation Rd. in Blacksburg,Va. Hubby was nervous and he is somewhat shy, so I wasn't sure how this visit was going to turn out. As soon as he walked into the office and the receptionist welcomed him, he felt more at ease. The receptionist was very kind & helpful. He did not have to wait to see Dr. Harrell. He was taken back right on time. Dr. Harrell, was a great listener & he explained everything to my husband after the testing in great detail. The testing showed hearing loss & he needed hearing aids. I'm sure everyone knows how expensive they can be & Insurance companies do not help much. Dr. Harrell went over the options & pricing and could tell how overwhelmed he was about the situation. Dr. Harrell let him know, that there are times when they have hearing aid sets donated to the office and asked if that would be something he would be interested in. Of course, he said yes. Dr. Harrell, had a pair of hearing aids that he said he could loan Joe for two weeks. That way Joe could get the feel of them and of course hear clearly. Dr. Harrell, programmed them to what my husband needed, It was right at Christmas. Of course, we accepted his offer and my husband didn't actually realize how much he had been missing, until the family was together on Christmas day. Six grown children & their spouses & 9 wonderful Grandchildren. In two weeks, we went back for the follow up and The Hearing Clinic & Dr. Harrell, had a set of donated hearing aids. Dr. had them already programmed and ready for my husband. We were overjoyed to say the least and in this day & time, with the way the world is, in general & in the medical field, this definitely helped our faith in Dr.'s and what some of them will do to help their patients. As you can tell, I can't say enough about this Dr. and his office. We will always be thankful for the choice we made to go to this very one. Thank You, to The Hearing Clinic & Dr. Harrell.

I called The Hearing Clinic and was so pleased that we were offered an appointment a couple hours later the very same day! Melissa came out to the car being very respectful of the desire to maintain safe protocols during this pandemic. After taking the device inside, within 5 minutes the Dr returned to the car with the details of the required fix. We were advised to return in an hour and he himself would repair the device!! Sure enough, after running a few errands we returned and have a well-functioning hearing aid!! A blessing for sure. Thank you The Hearing Clinic for demonstrating such care, compassion and professionalism!!!

Surgery was in May. I called office and the nurse told me that it wouldn't have anything to do with my surgery and I would need to go to urgent care. I asked is it dangerous and she stated well I can't tell you that only urgent care can inform you . So I asked again so this wouldn't be a follow up to my surgery because I have had problems since I had it done and she states no. The office has screwed up 3 appointments of mine as well. I showed up for an appointment and first they say or you have no appointment today and I said yes today is pre- op appointment and the front desk tells me well Dr. Farmer is off today so you can see PA. I should of realized then not to go forward with surgery . Even though my knee was killing me and I had a torn meniscus (which wasn't fixed during surgery , PA stated they didn't need to as it wasn't in the way with my knee), my knee cracks, grinds and pops when I try to bend it and I can't get past 50 degrees. The office won't assist you in getting an appointment and urgent care isn't that great either . First time I went to there I was told nothing was wrong with my knee. Even though my knee popped very loud and I dropped to the ground . I'm very disappointed over this whole ordeal. Depressed is a under statement .. don't go to this office . Dr Farmer did a manipulation and knee works wonderful . I informed Dr Farmer of all my concerns and he addressed all of them and everything was fixed !! Thank you Dr Farmer. I should of been more informative with you in the begging and expressed issues that arises.

And they've screwed up my families billing to many times to count. We have 2, yes two forms of health insurance. When you try to call to fix the issue, you can't understand what they are saying except for "that's your bill, pay now?" "We bill you, you pay" Avoid the medical billing shakedown from these 3rd party mobsters. They'll have you in collections for thousands over a aspirin that you never took. They do medical billing code like they are playing a game of bingo. AFC, if you want to be a better place, ditch the 3rd party mobsters and con artists. Staff and doctors are great, not worth dealing with a shakedown for your money because they have no idea how to bill your insurance.
