I almost never write reviews but after our experience, I thought Iβd share. The staff here is very active, very patient, and very friendly. They always have people checking in and everyone that works here has a smile on their faces and is ready to help in whatever way they can (literally everyone, the cooking staff, the doctors, nurses, security, the cleaning staff, etc.). My grandmother was very happy with her experience and felt as though she was in great hands!
A poor experience. Living in Arlington it is easy to go to this hospital. But after what happened to my aunt last week. Never again
At the emergency room you would have expect courteous and experienced staff. What we found was a very sad place. Lacking all of what we were supposed to find.
This was the worst emergency medical experience I could imagine. They will nickle and dime you and never give you a reason why. After signing in I realized an urgent care would be cheaper, and told the receptionist I was going to leave. This person with no medical certification told me I should stay because the urgent care was just going to send me back to the hospital. I watched her tell this to multiple people. The hospital won't even apologize for this gross negligence, and now I am facing an $800 medical bill vs. $100 bill. Knowing this they won't even work with me on the cost. Only go here if you have wonderful health insurance this hospital can rob from.
Have been in the E R there several times over the years. Always treated with kindness and respect by the nursing and line staff. They have some really great nurses on staff, and always treat me and mine very well. Competent doctor's as well. The one exception is a Dr. Griswell. I did not care for his manner and I was not confident of his diagnostic ability. He was positive my condition was arterial when I actually had emphysema. He was curt and did not have a pleasant bedside manner. I could forgive that if he had great diagnostic skill, but he did not. I found the other doctors that I dealt with far superior in attitude, skill and bedside manner.
Had a great delivery experience. My wife came in fully dilated (due to her being tough as nails) and were swept right into a delivery room. The nursing team was great, and our baby was born in a flash. Once we moved to the recovery wing we had excellent nursing care, especially from our nurse Sunny who took the extra time to help my wife with feeding and to give me some swaddling pointers. The nurses also have an award system wherein patients can nominate them for a star on their ID holder which seems to be a point of pride for them. You can bet weβre putting in nominations!
my father were there for several days, he was treated well. it's very clean and comfortable for visitors and patient. the nurse and doctors was great too, God bless America.
Extremely slow and does not show urgency in the ER. Arrived at the hospital at 11pm on a Sunday night with stroke symptoms... finally ruled out stroke by 7 am. By 9:30 am Monday morning still no closer to finding out what's wrong. Have been waiting for Neurology for 3+ hours. Have yet to be admitted. Night nurses were very nice.
This has to be one of my worst experiences at any hospital. The rooms are so over booked that they had my wife and several other patients waiting in the hall way because there were no rooms available. 2.5 hours in and we finally got a room. See the chart I took a pic of , apparently it's standard for it to take this long here. And we will have to wait on tests.
Wesually go to INOVA Fairfax and the quality difference is much better there.
Aside from that Ive been in many emergency rooms anr know emergency rooms are typically not a fun place and people are hurt / in pain, but my God I felt like I was in a horror movie walking though this place.
The staff seem nice but honestly avoid this place if it's an option.
I would highly recommend Virginia Hospital Center. I was seen quickly and everyone was very kind & welcoming. The hospital itself is very clean & modern compared to others I have seen.
If I could give this a 0 star rating I would. They screwed up my life for no reason and disobeyed what I and my parents wanted. Horrible facility and rude inconsiderate doctors. The staff is nice and friendly but that's about it. I DO NOT recommend this hospital especially for people with mental illnesses. Do not go here.
Ultra Amazing!!! Our daughter was attending an area sport camp, and unfortunately got injured. Double whammy, we are from out of state, so I needed to 'dig' as to where our insurance would 'work', and not get Socked. The Express Care certainly lived up to its name, AND we feel confident with the highly qualified staff addressed the situation with her best interest! Thank you for all your time in tending promptly to our daughter, and for everyone being so warm & friendly!
We are from out of state and my husband had a medical emmergency. The staff could not have been more caring and compassionate. They made sure we were both comfortable at all times. Doctors, nurses, cleaning crew...everyone was amazing! Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Thank you so much staff of Virginia Hospital. I injured my knee inline skating the day before yesterday and trust me when I tell you it hurt like.... well I'm not going to finish that statement but I'm sure you get my point.
Never the less I would like to say you guys helped me out a great deal.
I give you guys and gals there a grand total of 10 stars. Although I know that I can't rate ten stars but I will place some on here myself. ππππππππππ
My mother-in-law had to have an emergency appendectomy and the staff was wonderful. They were constantly checking in on her. She's been in and out of so many hospitals, she asked me to write that this is the best experience from the staff to the doctor, from the trash lady to the doctor, she's ever had. she was so grateful how well they treated her. She felt they were so kind and caring. She can't recommend it enough. She'd recommend it to anybody.
