Patient Testimonials

Hear from our patients who are using virtual visits to safely conduct their care.
The Inova Primary Care - Springfield staff consistently provides courteous and professional assistance. This appointment was initially an in-office meeting, switched to a video chat due to COVID-19 situation. The switch went smoothly and I did not feel short-changed at all.
Inova Primary Care - Springfield
I did not have the opportunity to go "physically" in the office due to the Covid-19 going on at this time. It was a "video" call but from the very beginning, the person who answered the phone was very professional willing to help me,

I had my first televisit with the doctor because of the coronavirus, and it went very well!
