Physicians & Midwives Collaborative Practice

WORST OB/​GYN practice ever. I have been going here for 3 years and I will NEVER go back. First of all, the NP that saw me this last time was rude with no bedside manner whats so ever. She decided to draw my blood for all these tests I did not consent for. So later, i received a big bill in the mail because my insurance company did not pay for it. I talked to the office manager and she is even more rude. I asked to speak to the the NP that saw me and she no longer works for the practice. The office manager took an entire month to even return my call. Very disappointed with this practice. 2 years ago, the billing department billed my insurance company with wrong codes, so again i received another bill from my insurance company. I had to fight with them to fix it. Be AWARE, do not go to this place!!!

I scheduled an appointment for my wife with a doctor who had the best reviews. The appointment went well and the doctor met her expectations, but guess what? At this place, the doctors only see you on the first appointment. After that it’s always a different nurse practitioner or a technician. The receptionist is extremely rude who refused to write my wife a doctor’s note. This is not the place if you want to keep my doctor or if you are seeking personalized care.

Hindsight is ²⁰⁄₂₀. If only I knew then what I know now about this practice:
Major Issues:
* I was routinely scheduled for visits with midwives who don’t deliver babies. Nobody told me this until a few weeks before my birth, and this meant that I had no prior face time with any of the delivering midwives. FYI– Gina and Pam don’t deliver, so don’t waste your time being seen by them if it’s a routine prenatal appointment.
* No one bothered to call me to let me know I was iron-​deficient, which resulted in a month of extreme exhaustion until I arrived for my next appointment only to be chastised by a midwife. When I asked why no one phoned me when the labs came back, the midwife shifted blame and said that she would have told me in person if I had not moved my next appointment back (which I only had to do because their openings were so limited and I had a work conflict).
* After my water broke and I arrived at the hospital, my midwife pushed every intervention imaginable, despite my wanting a natural birth. She rolled her eyes when I asked to delay pitocin to see if contractions would begin on their own. In fact, I barely saw her until I hit 10 cm. She also thought it was appropriate to note that it was her «243^rd» or some odd baby she’s delivered while I’m laying there pushing. And despite asking to push at my own pace, she insisted on coached pushing. As soon as she sewed me up she was out of there, no «congratulations» or anything.
If I have another kid, I’m going to find a smaller practice to deliver at. This one is way too large for their own good, and their care lacked a personal touch

Not a fan. I wanted the midwife experience because I try to go the natural route whenever possible. There are over 20 drs/​midwives in the practice and I didn’t find out until 3 months into my pregnancy that only 7 of the midwives deliver. But trying to get an appointment with all seven has been nearly impossible. I have seen 3 of the 7. At two of my appointments they had someone training Do my exams without permission from me. NOT COOL. I have had lab work done and never gotten a call. I failed my 1 hour blood glucose test (they also WILL NOT let you have any other drink than the one they provide which is filled with chemicals, preservatives, and dyes) and no one called me to inform me of my test results. I didn’t find out until my following appointment when the nurse said «oh did anyone call you about your glucose test» me «no» nurse «oh, well you failed so now you have to take the three hour, but the midwife will talk to you about it» wow great bedside manner… NOT.
Also,
Their hours are sporadic 3 days they open at 9am 1 day they open at 10am and another they open at 8am.
It is hit or miss if your appointment will start on time or an hour later. Not ok.
This practice has been nothing but frustrating to me but I have yet to be able to find any other all female practice (the only time a male will deliver is with a c-​section supposedly with this practice)

While my wife was pregnant we visited this office for her regular appointments and saw mostly midwives. Some of the midwives were very good but there were a few who were not, including an older one (probably in her 50s or 60s) originally from New Jersey or some such place. If you go, insist on seeing one of the younger midwives. The physicians seemed to be good when we saw them. Making appointments is easy. Delivery went well.

Great experience always. Never had to wait long and my doctors are very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Met with ADR Gina Haldeman last time. She was so wonderful. I think she will be my doctor from now on because Dr Hillary Robinowitz-​Elins left the company to practice Education. Nice and cozy location.

I haven’t had the time or desire to write a review in a while. Nothing had caught my attention. I went to see Dr. Kimberly Kongkauwan today and she left me wanting to write a review.
I went to the practice for a second option after seeing one of the other doctors from the same practice about my condition. She was extremely informative and left me feeling more secured of the next step I need to take. She was very friendly. Her option and suggestions were heart felt. I’m coming back to see her.

This practice is very impersonal. I wanted the midwifery experience. Everyone that came in just read my chart and said hi i’m so and so and started working on me.
when ever you need to get a hold of someone, like the operator, you wait on hold for 30+ minutes. Not joking. If you live in Prince William County it’s not worth it since for the birth you have to deliver in Alexandria. While a nice hospital still one heck of a drive if you are in labor.
I ended up switching practices, while I still have the same long drive to the hospital, my new practice is very personable. I can actually hold a conversation with the midwives there and it’s a much more personable experience.
When I asked for records to be forwarded to the new practice, it took 7 contacts from my new practice and 4 contacts from me to finally get them to send my complete records.

I have had mixed experiences with this location. My last two experiences will make me not return. I recently had an annual exam with Dr. Cutting. She is rough. We all know what to expect at our woman’s exam but I still appreciate the «you will feel some pressure» warning and friendly conversation. Dr. Cutting just went straight in, not gentle, not friendly… I would never make an appt with her again.
But, it has been worse than that. I have a history of miscarriages and was told to come into the office as soon as I tested positive at home to confirm pregnancy and start monitoring levels. I came in the morning after my positive home test and was turned away by the receptionist who said I need an appointment to be seen. I explained my history, said I understand I can’t see the doctor but can I please just have a blood test to confirm pregnancy. (There is no one in the office and the lady who does blood work has no patients). She refused anything without an appointment. So, I took my pregnancy and money somewhere else.
This location (at least 2 of the people I have experience with) is not considerate to your needs. It’s all business, no compassion, no friendliness… nothing you hope for from a small office such as this. I now have to drive further, but I am treated like a woman, not a number.

This practice is wonderful. I have been seeing Dr. Modjoros for over two years for annual exams and birth control. Being a younger patient (I am 18), she has made me feel so comfortable from the day I started seeing a gyn, which is no easy feat since it was a very new experience. Her bedside manner is awesome; she is friendly, explains everything, and answers all of my questions. She placed my IUD for me, and even made that much more comfortable and easy than it could have been. The practice locations are all very organized and clean, booking appointments online is so easy, and I always find an appointment within a few days of booking.

This practice is amazing. I tend to follow Dr. Modjoros to whichever office she is at (between Kenmore and Lake Ridge). I LOVE her. Her beside manner is wonderful. She makes you feel completely comfortable explaining your concerns or issues and will answer all your questions completely and thoroughly. As far as the practice as a whole, I love the fact that they have saturday appointments, online appointment booking, and multiple locations. My dad is a doctor and that makes me very (sometimes overly so) picky about the doctors or practices I choose. This practice is definitely among the absolute best in the area and Dr. Modjoros is one of the reasons why.
