    This was my first time seeing this provider, and I scheduled the appointment that same morning due to flu-like symptoms. Both the nurse and the provider took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and everything I shared about my symptoms. After a thorough discussion and two tests, the provider was able to identify the primary issue and recommend appropriate at-home care and follow-up steps. She was friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the visit, providing the care, reassurance, and support I needed. I truly appreciated the time she took to address my concerns and help me feel more at ease.

    I was happy with the medical provider and the medical assistant, however, I stood at the check-out window for a few minutes - I wanted to see if they needed anything else from me before I left - and I never got acknowledged. One girl at check-in was on her cell phone, two others were talking to a third girl on the other side of the station, and none of them ever looked up at me. So I finally just left.

    Facilty clean, but not very attractive (adequate). A new patient - Dr. Hou very pleasant and thorough and followed up on recommendations. After Visit Summary could have had statistical information (BP, weight, temp, etc.) on form. I had to go to My Chart to get it. Previous Virtua office always had it printed on summary provided at end of visit. I needed info for HRA and other records.

    The doctor's office, front desk staff was like they are doing a favor to receiving a patient. The main thing is the staff when the front desk, if they are not polite, if they are not welcoming you, then the rest is secondary. Please make sure that they should get some more training. Their PR skill was really, really bad. And I'm one of those, if I like something, I always appreciate it. If I don't, I make sure that somebody should know it. The PR skill was really bad about that front desk staff. And the doctor was really, really good. And even the medical assistant, she was doing her job, but like something is wrong and they were either tired or they were not feeling well or something, but she was doing good.

    The provider did not remove her mask the entire visit. I was not sick. It was April. Nobody's sick like that. The provider was pushing vaccines, pushing colonoscopy, pushing mammogram, pushing all kinds of medical procedures on me. I didn't go in there for that. I was forced to go to get my thyroid medication refilled. The provider did not read the room. The provider did not realize that I'm not interested in all these invasive procedures that I do not need. The provider didn't know my medication. The provider, I will not be going back to this provider.

    I am the brother and legal guardian of the patient who suffers from Lewy Body Dementia. Our visit with Dr. Kristy Hou was to establish a new PCP for him as he recently moved to NJ. The entire staff was very courteous and professional - treated my brother with respect. The facility is comfortable and clean. Dr Hou was absolutely fantastic. Check him thoroughly, discussed his history and current condition. Discussed and explained her plan of treatment - establishing a new Neurologist (in progress) to be the first step. She refilled his medications and we will revisit in 3 months - by which time she will have his medical records from Virginia and opinions of new neurologist.
