Orthopedists - Ashburn, VA

"After experiencing 8 weeks of extreme back pain from a herniated disc, I was referred to a spine specialist and chose Dr. Moshirfar. When I had my appointment at Orthopaedic and Spine Surgery Institute, I met with nurse Debora Feeney, who caused unnecessary delays in my care and treatment... During my appointment, she referred me to see a pain management specialist and recommended I get a steroid injection and receive physical therapy. However, she said I would first need to get clearance from my doctor who prescribes a particular medication to stop taking the medication for 2 days before and after an injection. It took me 2 weeks (while my pain became even more severe) until I could get an appointment with my other doctor. When I met with him to discuss this, he was furious with her, explaining that there’s absolutely no reason I would need to stop my medication since it has no drug interactions with the steroid treatment. On top of that, when I searched a doctor who provides Epidural Steroid Injections and Physical Therapy services, the first name that came up is Dr. Moshirfar of Orthopaedic and Spine Surgery Institute. Of course, I would prefer to streamline my care by receiving treatment at one facility to avoid waiting weeks to be seen as a new patient, having to fill out additional paperwork, and going through numerous additional evaluations by new providers. I don’t understand why Ms. Feeney would refer me to other providers when her office provides the services she recommended. That being said, I would caution anyone from this practice. I wasted energy, money, and extended the amount of time until I finally received pain relief from another specialist 4 weeks after my appointment with Ms. Feeney. "

"I never had the chance to see what the doctor is like because the hateful receptionist who answered the phone was so nasty I was never able to get an appointment. She asked me the same questions multiple times and never listened to my answers. She questioned if I knew what insurance I had over and over. I finally gave up trying to get help from them for my back. "

"After my wife broke both wrists and kneecap while catching her toe on an uneven sidewalk during a powerwalk 5 months ago, Dr. Khoshnevisan performed surgery and prescribed therapy that has almost fully restored her function and active lifestyle leaving little trace of scars. We were tremendously comforted by Dr. Khoshnevisan's visits each morning and night during 6 days in the hospital, expert mgt of blood pressure, and multiple follow up phone calls at home to check on pain mgt and fit for casts and progress. His extraordinary skill, superb communication and compassionate bedside manner could not be overrated during this traumatic accident and promoted my wife's remarkable recovery. Thank you Dr. Khoshnevisan!"
