Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent doctor.
I saw Dr. Alsamara as a new patient this week. She is now going to be my Primary Care Physician. She was very professional, succinct, and helpful. The staff was also very friendly.

Dr. Alsamara is prompt, takes the time to listen to me, offers advice but allows me to make my own decisions, and she one point found a problem and got me in to see a well-qualified specialist quickly. While what she found during examination was there (an irregular heartbeat), it turned out not be be dangerous. Further tests revealed the I am fine, just a bit different. When I've asked for referrals, I have found the doctors she suggested to be good, too. She's efficient, but I never feel rushed by her. The staff in the office is pleasant and helpful. She answers emails (through the Inova My Chart system) rapidly, and is available for appointments when I need to see her.

I adore Dr. Alsamara. She is straightforward and does not mince words, providing critical information in a timely fashion. She emails me back via patient portal on holidays and weekends when I have issues and provides appropriate medication when necessary. I appreciate having a doctor who is so helpful and responsive.

Dr is now at Inova. She gave me 2 medications. One medication had a serious interaction with another medication I was already on, despite confirming my medication and asking her to confirm there would be no interactions. Dr also ordered analysis and provided an antibiotic (the 2nd medication). She accidentally ran the wrong tests. When I emailed Dr. Alsamara to ask about the test I came in for and she had taken a sample for, she said that they forgot to do that test. Also - NOT HYGIENIC.
