Ive been a patient since 2003 and am satisfied with the practice overall. The practice has been overhauled in the past 5 years, and improvements in efficiency, communications, automated processes, records management, insurance (including Rx) coordination have been overall positively impacting the quality of service. Staff retention has been good (nice for continuity) and Dr. Friedler has been able to attract competent backup professionals in Dr. Quintos-Gomez and Carmen Ayala. Yes, the practice is family medicine but Edward Friedler is an outstanding diagnostician capable of evaluating obscure complaints and referring issues of import to a rather comprehensive toolbox of specialists in the metro area. Friedler has an approach to health risk management and "do no harm" that I can appreciate, and is careful and intensely methodical in his questioning and conclusions. Some other reviewers have referenced back office problems and billing/Rx issues. All I can say is that I have seen poor performance in the past (both with professional and administrative staff) and these dont last long in this practice. Ive always found this practice to be accommodating, helpful, courteous, and friendly to visit. I just wish they were closer to were I live, but Im glad they are close to Fairfax Inova and to the plethora of specialists who provide followup or diagnostic care. Easy to reach out and get support from the network of referrals.

I started going here bc I was referred by a friend who is a lifelong patient. The past 2 years have been nothing but headaches with this office. When I go to pickup my rxs they are never called in. Most of the time it is after hours or on their lunch break so I cant get in touch with them and have to go back. Their doctors especially Ayola, NEVER call you back when you leave messages. They seem to just get thru the day and nothing above and beyond. After speaking with the person who referred my I found out he has switched offices bc he has noticed a decline in service the past few years. I will be doing the same.

This office does not care about there patients, they do not call you back, they do not call in scripts, they do collect co-pay real quick, and they dont really help much after the front desk. They also let you wait 30-40 minutes in the waiting room, then another 30-40 minutes in the exam room. This has happened several times, to several different people in my family and friends. This office is not as good as it could be, or probably will ever be and I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS OFFICE TO ANYONE!!!

Dr. Friedler provides the most progressive care available. As a Privia managed practice, he provides in person, cell phone messaging and email services. He is excellent at treating health issues related to my COPD/immune disorder/inflammation issues. This doctor is really on the ball with diagnosis and treatment, while being open and hearing what the patient has to say.

I havent using them for so many years but after they got Privia Medical Group 2 years ago has been TERRIBLE, last check up I never got my results back or a letter or a call from doctor. So sad to see how this office just going DOWN and DOWN, terrible service, bills every month where, no right codes to summit a claim to the health insurance. I will NOT recommend it.

I have been there 3 times since I moved into the neighborhood. They have been very kind and easy to work with. Last week I was taken in last minute and stepped right in to my appointment. Theyre great.
