    The doctor spent five minutes with me. I explained to him that I'd been sick for a week, that my wife was extremely sick. I'd been there in that same office earlier that day, was diagnosed with pneumonia, had an x-ray done and was sent home for medication. I had been coughing and cold, asked if they were going to do any tests whatsoever, a COVID test, any sort of disease test, any kind of x-ray. No, no, no, you're fine, you're fine. If you get worse, call us back out the door. So basically nothing. Took my blood pressure, my weight, and my height, and sent me on my way. It's a week later, I'm still not any better. My wife is barely any better. I'm not even sure she was properly diagnosed and treated well. And you guys are just a factory and you don't care about patients at all. And we pretty much hate virtual. So thanks for nothing.

    I am really upset about the phone system at Virtua. It is difficult to get a message to your doctor. It is difficult to cancel an appointment, even using MyChart. It is difficult to get any kind of response when you have a problem. It is the worst system I have ever, ever dealt with.

    YES, I would like to recommend this Doctor however he only works. I think two days a week so it's very hard to get an appointment. And you have another provider who's older and I think he's a little too old to be providing care I did see him once. One time to get clearance for surgery I saw a young woman. She was a young doctor, but very thorough and very good. I would say that you need to hire at least two more physicians to cover your practice.
