Family Medicine practitioners - Fairfax, VA

"Dr. Merkel listened to me and that meant more to me than anything else. During my visit she was a kind, compassionate, and understanding provider. I found her advice to be fair, logical, and kind. "

"I’ve had the pleasure to meet with Colleen for weight-related issues. Her manner is extremely thoughtful and I haven’t felt judged at all. All my questions are ask and she’s open to alternatives if I request them. "

"Dr Cha is softspoken but thorough and she listens fully. She said she is an urgent care doctor or I would have asked her to be my regular doc."

"I'm careful when I schedule a doctor appt because I usually have to take off work to do so, and I type the time into my calendar while I'm on the phone and repeat it to the staff member who creates the appt for me. The staff told me 2:30. over the phone. I showed up between 2:20 and 2:25 and was told my appt was for 2:15 and they could not see me. When I made the appt I gave them my cell phone for reference because I seldom use my home phone or check messages on it. But they called my home phone anyway with an appt reminder NOT my cell phone. If they had called my cell phone I would have been able to call and get the time corrected. As it was, I took 3 hours off work, so I could drive to the appointment on time (2:30), and was then told by the staff that Dr. Blanco said 10 minutes late would mess up the remainder of his appointments and I would have to come back the following week. I have no idea where they got my home phone number from, other than possibly out of the INOVA database, because I never give it out as a number to call if I need to be reached, you know like for appt reminders. I'm usually right on time or a bit early, but what happens the next time I run into traffic and am a few minutes late? Completely unacceptable. "

"Excellent care, very attentive. I highly recommend Dr. Silver. "

"I have been a patient of Dr. Harlan for over four years. I have come to know and trust this man as if he were a family member. Probably better than some of my own family. He has always listened to what I have I had to say or ask without being judgemental. He always has an answer to my questions, even if it is to honestly say, " I will get back to you", which he does! I cannot recommend this wonderful doctor enough. He has helped me through some troubling times, not only medical but emotionally as well!"
