Anderson Glenna R MD

This one star is given to the front desk staff and lack of ultrasound facility in Dr. Anderson’s practice. I agree with Kyu H., if you expect to meet the doctor and do the ultrasound in your first appointment, FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE.
I only visited this practice one time and felt very disapoointed. Although I did not have a chance to meet Dr. Glenna or other doctors, I decided to find a new OB immediately after leaving this office. First, I expected to talk to a doctor but was seen by a midwife in my first appointment. I was told a number of the rules of their practice, which was very time consuming for me.
Second, I expected to do the ultrasound in their practice and make sure my baby was okay in my first appointment. I was very diappointed to know that They do NOT have ultrasound machine in their practice. So I needed to schedule another ultrasound appointment with Fairfax Radiology in another building and wait for another 15 minutes. I HATE this! I don’t understand why a busy practice with six OBs does not want to buy a ultrasound machine.
Third, one of the front desk scheduler was VERY RUDE. Iwas told that I would not see Dr. Glenna in every appointment. Accoring to the rules of their pracitce, patients will see all the OBs in 9 months. That was fine with me, However I spent 30 minutes talking to the rude lady to schedule appointments in the following months. She was very rude and impatient. I told her, if possible, I wanted to schedule Wednesday afternoon appointments. She said, all the Wednesday afternoons were booked. Okay, fine, I told her all the afternoons after 2 pm would work for me too. After 6 minutes, she gave me a 9 am appointment and replied «Listen, you can not always get what you want!» What? I don’t understand a big clinic with six OBs cannot find me an appointment on the afternoon after2 pm. After talking to the rude scheduler for half hour, I was starving and eager to find something to eat. I told her, is it okay for me to leave now and call the office to book the time later. She said «NO! You cannot leave! You have to finish it!» WTF!
I was totally pissed off.
A lot of people told me that Dr. Anderson is very nice. Sorry, I decided to leave this practice because I don’t want to talk to that scheduler anymore. Also, I don’t want to book another appointment for the ultrasound service.

I absolutely love the doctors at this practice. I have moved to Loudoun county, on the border of West Virginia and I still drive in to Fairfax to stay with Dr. Anderson’s group. During my pregnancy with my son, I saw every doctor in the practice. As the last poster said, they rotate you when you are pregnant, so you’ll meet all of the doctors and will be comfortable with whoever is on duty when you deliver. My delivery actually covered «shift-​change» so Dr. Kinder was there to start, and then Dr. Maanavi delivered my son. I had a few issues with the pregnancy and spent about a month in the hospital, and saw one of the doctors EVERY day that I was there.

I couldn’t disagree with last reviewer more. Dr. Anderson’s practice was recommended to me because I was looking for an all woman practice when I became pregnant. I wanted a group practice so that I wouldn’t have to worry about an unfamiliar doctor if something happens to mine. After 9 months of these Doctors, I can’t say enough great things about them. I would have felt 100% comfortable if any of them had delivered. Including Dr. Carter, who came to the practice 2 weeks before my due date. Your first appointment is with a nurse practitioner. After that, you always see a doctor. They also specifically rotate you through doctors so that you spend time with each of them. They were all awesome. Doctor Mannavi delivered my son and did amazing. I needed a c section and my scar is almost undetectable.
I ended up calling them after hours 5x during pregnancy and they were always wonderful.
