Inova Fairfax Hospital

Each visit here has been fast, efficient, and marked by professionalism and compassion from the staff. My family has visited for emergencies a few times and for outpatient surgery twice. This is a great place. Thank you for taking care of us.

Came to the ER at 1:30 am with severe pain. The nurse, can't remember her name(short, curly hair) started my registration process. While registering she didn't seem to care what's wrong with me and was rude from the very beginning. She thought my condition was not very severe and asked me to sit in the ER which was again very uncomfortable. I waited there for 5 hours but still couldn't find a room. I asked the nurse how much longer would it take as my pain was increasing to which she replied " you are breathing just sit down". She was extremely rude throughout our conversation and said that if you don't want treatment you can just go home. She got into an unnecessary argument with another patient who complained about being suicidal after waiting for several hours. I understand there are other patients who have more severe condition but at least be nice to everyone. After waiting for 5 hours I just went home untreated. During this wait time no one came to check on me once. A lady next to me could barely walk and almost passed out. Her husband arrived in time to take care of her or else the staff would have cared less what's going on with the patients who are waiting. To make things worse, I now have cold from another patient in ER. Patients are already suffering through physically please don't make them suffer mentally. If you can't be compassionate and nice to patients just change your profession. You are not suitable to be a nurse. I am never coming back to this hospital. I hope hospital takes some action against this nurse as almost every patient in ER last night just left either without being treated or because of this nurse's bad behavior.

The nurses in Labor and Delivery, and the hospital in general, perform such crucial jobs, from helping with birth to caring for newborns while new parents are trying to sort out all the immense new responsibilities. We could not have birthed our firstborn this past week without their knowledge and assistance, and they made the process as seem-less as possible. Special thanks to Emily, Corey, and Kaitlyn for helping with our newborn as we transitioned into life as new parents. Forever grateful!!!

AWFUL STAFF/NURSES, was here for my uncle, nurses would refer to him as “32” (his patient number) would giggle when inside the room, we waited 3+ hours for them to get the correct medicine, they didn’t follow the correct schedule for when it was time for his medicine to be received, rude to my family and completely unsympathetic during an awful time, different nurses would tell different information, SEVERAL staff members lied about when we could call them and when they told us we wouldn’t have to switch rooms. Overall just a completely horrible place when it comes to medical care, I will say there was 1 nurse who was very kind and genuine and we were grateful for her

Attentive and helpful staff. Spacious interior with wide vistas outside. The facility has also got playground(s) and convention areas with convenient parking lot.
