I would give zero stars but you are required to give at least one star. This is an updated review of my experience with Dr. Kimberly Matzie at Fairfax Colon & Rectal Surgery which has been deeply troubling and life-altering. In August 2020, Dr. Matzie performed a robotic surgery to correct a rectal prolapse using mesh. Unfortunately, this procedure has resulted in four years of excruciating pain, three additional surgeries at renowned institutions, including the Cleveland Clinic and medical facilities in Atlanta and Zurich, Switzerland, and nearly $90,000 in out-of-pocket expenses. Despite these efforts, I have found no relief. From the beginning, her approach to my care was marred by negligence and dismissiveness. During my only post-op visit with Dr. Matzie, I expressed concerns about severe post-surgical pain. I cannot state the exact words she used, as they will not post that in a review, but essentially her response was unprofessional, saying, ‘I hate to be harsh, but you need to just suck it up.’ This lack of empathy and support made an already difficult recovery process even more challenging. The complications stemming from the initial surgery have significantly impacted my quality of life, and I now face the probability of undergoing another major surgery (highly recommended by Cleveland Clinic) to remove my large intestine and live with a colostomy bag. This is a devastating prospect. Something that should have never happened. While I acknowledge that medical outcomes can vary, I feel compelled to share my story as a cautionary tale for others considering similar procedures. I strongly urge anyone seeking care for colorectal issues to thoroughly research and seek second or even third opinions before proceeding with treatment. And I would definitely stay away from Fairfax Colon & Rectal Surgery!

Dear Doctor Plerhoples. Approximately 2 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with colon cancer . I was blessed to have Doctor Plerhoples as my surgeon. I was also diagnosed with severe Crohn’s disease . I was severely inflamed making surgery almost impossible. Several doctors including my oncologist, and gastro doctors suggested that surgery while I was inflamed was risky . Dr.Plerhoples said it was imperative he perform the surgery immediately and remove the cancer mass. He knew the operation needed performed to remove the cancer mass from my body immediately. He was super confident, experienced, and a amazing surgeon. I was blessed to have him perform a successful surgery . It’s been 2 1/2 years since my operation and I will never forget Doctor Plerhoples. Thank you and god bless you . Your an amazing surgeon. I wanted you to know I’m grateful you were my surgeon. Good bless . Sincerely. Robert J Gilchrist Rgilchrist1969@yahoo.com.

Amazing experience. Dr. Tillou was personable, approachable, and very knowledgeable. He took time to listen to my questions and concerns, and he explained things clearly and completely. Also, unlike almost every other healthcare provider I've encountered, he performed an in-office procedure on the initial visit. I am already on the road to recovery - not stuck living with my condition while waiting for the next appointment. Highly recommended. Thank you!

A real gentleman. You are never rushed. Easy to talk to.

Dr.Colvin is amazing and so is his staff and team. I'm 22 now and have known him since I was 14 . I had/have colon issues and he did surgery so I have a ostomy and he always made me feel comfortable and made sure I understood what he was talking about. My family has known him for around 30 yrs . I wouldn't trust anyone but him to do procedures and surgeries on me

Even after a morning in surgery, she had the patience to hear out my complaints. I am being followed for cancer reoccurrence. I have extreme confidence in her diagnostic and interventional skills should my cancer return. One of best doctors on my team.

Dr. Khalifeh, MD is very helpful to me. I am very happy with her performance. Great surgeon.

Dr. Tillou is exceptional! Friendly and patient. Explains problems and procedures in a warm friendly manner. Highly recommend!

I visited so many places ,I have seen by so many doctors only doctor khalifeh knows how to treat me

I had a wonderful first experience with Dr. Cheng. She described my health situation in a very clear and caring way, helping me to gain a much deeper understanding of my circumstances. I also really appreciated how patiently she answered my questions and carefully thought through next steps. Thank you, Dr. Cheng!

Doctor Stern consolation was extremely helpful in providing me with information on my medical procedure. He answered my questions and concerns. I found him very knowledgeable easy to talk to.

Excellent as always with Dr. Khalifeh.

Dr Cheng was excellent from my first visit 10 months ago until my last consultation two days ago. She is kind, knowledgeable and sincere. She answered all my questions before my procedure and followed up with me afterwards in detail. I highly recommend her to anyone experiencing a cancer diagnosis in their digestive system. Exemplary skill and service is what I received . Thank You Dr. Cheng Sincerely, PARickert

Excelente

Professional and concise.

Catherine Holder was wonderful. I'm not saying I hope anything else goes wrong with my behind, but if it did, I'd look forward to seeing her again. This practice is an hour.or an hour and a half from me, depending on traffic. Worth it and wouldn't go elsewhere.

Thank you for seeing us and having a plan to move forward after the diagnosis.

Dr. Kim and staff are awesome, I highly recommend.

Dr. Plerhoples is always thorough and explains things well.

Very easy to get an appointment. Thorough review of medical history and the presenting problem before presenting possible plans of care/ treatment. After examination confirmed treatment recommendations and considered what my preferences were. Explained procedure every step of the way. Very considerate of comfort level and was compassionate towards the need for distraction from the procedure. After the procedure, Dr Colvin thoroughly explained post op home care, answered any questions, was very personable and even took the time to have a conversation about a common interest. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable. One of the best experiences I have had with any medical providers since my primary doctor, Michael Royfe retired.

Very easy check up and helpful explanation

Professional and thorough. Made my experience much less stressful.

Great experience, fast appointment, minimal wait time.

Detail oriented and patient friendly.

The doctor Cheng used the numbing solution for the procedure which allowed me to relax . After the procedure, i had a pretty active and a busy afternoon activites. In the past, just thinking about the procedure, made me feel unpleasant and uncomfortable and I had to lay low for a few days after the procedure is done. I felt, the waiting time at the office was minimum and efficient. Again, I was very satisified this time. In the past, I never did the follow up appointment, I tried to forget this ongoing periodic procedure I will need to get it done. But, since I was impressed by Dr. Chang's approach and encouraged me, I actually made a follow up appointment the procedure.

Very knowledgeable and cordial. Answered every question with a disarming smile.

The appointment went smooth, and Dr. Plerhoples was very thorough in his explanation of what I needed to do and next steps. The office staff was lovely, and my appointment was on time, if not a bit early.

The doctor and his support staff were very professional and made the experience as nice as it could be.

I really appreciated dr Matzie s direct honest approach. It set my expectations where it needed to be. I feel that she listened to my concerns and fixed my issues.

Friendly staff and got all my questions answered.

Dr. Matzie was more knowledgeable than any other surgeon I’ve met with. She took a much closer look at my case and didn’t jump to surgery as the first option, which was a welcome change.

She answered many of my questions before I had the chance to inquire. I was confident that I was in good hands for my surgical procedure and would highly recommend her surgical services.

Dr Sanchez expertly, efficiently, and quickly addressed my issues which I had been reluctant to address.

I decided to go back to Dr Kim because of my experience in treating my hemorrhoids in 2020. She takes the time to listen and talk to her patients. She even anticipated the hemorrhoid bandage procedure while I was there for just a visit. I will highly recommend her to all my family and friends.

Would highly recommend. Knew exactly what was going on by all my symptoms and got straight to the point. She broke everything down piece by piece to where I could understand and took her time so as to make sure that I did before leaving us. She also gave a step by step process to a solution to help fix me up.

Excellent! Dr. Stern and his staff were professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Everything was explained in layman’s terms. Thank you, Dr. Stern!

My second surgery with Dr Colvin. Wonderful surgeon and caring physician

Excelente atención

I loved Dr. Matzie and her staff. She was thorough and straight up with me. I would highly recommend this this practice.

Explained everything clearly and thoroughly.

Very thorough and explained my situation well.

Very well explained and staff is very courteous

Dr. Colvin was excellent. He took the time to answer questions, address the problem, and then took the time to discuss in detail follow up questions. Highly recommend.

Doc was quite personable and didn’t make it weirder than it was!

Always a great experience

I have full confidence in Dr. Stern's medical expertise. He firmly tells you what needs to be done to become cured of cancer. He not only wants to make you well again, but he also looks into the future. I would highly recommend him to other cancer patients. Thank you

Good listener.

Dr. Tillou is a very professional doctor. He is very patient with us, explaining every detail and making sure we are fully informed.

Will have to return for follow-up as problem is lingering longer than expected!

Had all of my questions answered thoroughly… There was no rush by Dr. Colvin His bedside manner is great

My visit was okay, but communications remain poor. I should have asked for a financial accounting, since I keep getting contradictory notes. I also just got an email saying a visit summary is available, but there is no visit summary there.

.

Office and Dr. Plerhoples were excellent Getting to the office in Leesburg was not so much. 1) Finding a parking spot in the hospital's parking lot is always a nightmare. 2) Walking from building to building via an outside courtyard, not a good idea. I would not go back to the Leesburg office.

Fine.

Dr. Colvin took the time to explain my condition as well as the many potential outcomes. He even took time to review everything when my mother attended a follow up session with me. This put us both at ease.

I love how comfortable the staff and doctor make me feel. Believe me it’s so embarrassing.

Friendly staff. Very informative and kind. Lots of good information and made me feel comfortable.

Dr. Kim is a wonder physician and person! She is a gifted and skilled doctor with a caring, kind, and pleasant manner. I could not have asked for a better surgeon to address my case. I was lucky that she made herself available to address my emergency medical needs with in-patient follow up for several weeks and out-patient for several months. We are lucky to have her.

Cecilia answered all my questions with knowledge and patience. She treated me with care.

Dr. Matzie is the best! Really tries to solve the problem whether big or small.

Excellent

Efficient and professional

The experience was excellent I would certainly recommend

I was able to get an appointment in an acceptable amount of time for my condition, and I was seen within a few minutes of arrival after filling out a bit of paperwork (it probably helped that I filled out the medical history questionnaire on the patient portal ahead of time). Elizabeth York was both efficient and pleasant, and she calmly described everything she was doing and seeing during the exam so I understood what was going on and could relax more than I otherwise would. Afterward, she described my condition and treatment options in ways I could easily understand, and I was able to have all of my questions answered without feeling rushed. As a PA, she's limited in the type of in-office procedures she can do - if after conservative treatment I still need help, I'll need to consult with one of the surgeons - but I would definitely see her again for initial consults and uncomplicated procedures. My only minor complaint would be that I felt a bit rushed by the assistant, which seemed odd as I was the only patient there the entire time (my husband was in the wait room and said no one else showed up). Otherwise, everything went as well as or better than could be expected for the type of visit it was. Thank you!

Dr Matzie is phenomenal and her office stuff is efficient and very friendly I would recommend this office to anyone and everyone.

Amazing experience. Very thorough and thoughtful. Great staff too. Highly recommend

Dr Sanchez is the best! She was very knowledgeable, understanding, and put me at ease. I completely put my trust in her hands and expertise.

Very positive overall. I liked that I had a short wait to see Dr. Sanchez. I found her very relatable and pleasant.

Great staff

Easy , good information, referrals

Dr Plerhoples is very professional, friendly and patient with us! He answered all the questions we have and explained to us in details what the problems are and how to treat them effectively. The staff working for him are also very nice and responsive.

As always, Dr. Matzie was helpful, professional, knowledgeable and understanding.

Professional and beyond expectation. Dr. Timothy is incredibly loving, professional, and knows his craft .

A great listener! I thought she was truly concerned about me as her patient. She was knowledgeable, professional, and a great communicator.

I find Dr colvin Dr. Colvin to be gentle and attentive. I feel comfortable with him.

Fairfax Colon and Rectal Surgery provided exceptional service and care. Dr. Stern is a true professional and expert in his field. He was able to resolve my issue in two visits and took the time to clearly explain both short and long term care as required. Great experience!

Very helpful. Whereas I had been unable to get real help and insight into my condition before seeing Dr. Colvin, I have that now. I am also confident that we’re on a good path forward.

Dr. P took the time to explain my condition and his recommendation for the next steps. He was clear and thorough and I felt very comfortable with him.

Dr. Tillou and the entire care team have been great from start to finish.

Wonderful professional experience as always; Dr. Matzie always takes the time to fully explain things and help relieve unnecessary anxiety; one of the very best doctors I have ever had the pleasure to receive care from!

Excellent friendly staff and amazing caring doctor.

Knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

Dr. Matzie is very knowledgeable and explains things thoroughly. She and her nurse also did a great job making me feel as comfortable as possible during an awkward procedure.

Personable and interested in me.

Thanks Dr. M.! She broke down what my alternatives regarding colon issue. She was knowledgeable and approachable.

Smooth and very professional and so polite and friendly I can’t thank them enough

Dr. Colvin is excellent doctor. He takes time to lesson and explain everything. I am so grateful to have find him.

I appreciate that the doctor was on time. He also took ample time to explain things fully, answer my questions, and make great recommendations to solve my problem.

Wonderful service! Very good Dr.

I would highly recommend Dr. Stern, MD. He listened to my problem (condition), answered my questions, and provided much needed guidance.

Dr. Matzie is wonderful - my husband and I think she is one of the very best we have experienced in our long lives. She listens carefully, obviously cares for her patients, has the knowledge and skills to clearly define steps to be taken to deal with patients' issues, and looks for nonsurgical solutions before suggesting surgery. Patients leave with a clear path to follow, and it has been successful for me.

My first appointment with Dr. Stern and his staff was very pleasant. The office is clean and well lit. Dr. Stern was very patient and informative of my concern. He and his staff were very nice and professional.

.

Informative, which is what we need from the doctors we choose.

Very good doctor and team

I felt 100% confidence in Dr. Stern's medical expertise. In addition, I felt that he personally cared about my situation. He explained several outcomes based on my latest colonoscopy. I trust that he will make the right decision for my surgery.

Had body problems. Had surgery for implant. Everything successful. Great staff, great Doctor, and best medical exp0erience I've ever had. Hats off to all of them and Dr Cheng

Caring and competent. Answered all questions clearly.

All of my concerns were addressed and Dr Cheng gave me information I needed.

Lynn was a consummate professional and explained all of the steps preceding the procedure.

Pleasant visit

Dr. Colvin and his team were excellent. He listened to my concerns and was able to complete a procedure that day. He then explained what to expect post-procedure and answered all of my questions. Will definitely be back if I need another procedure.

Excellent care.

Dr Mattie was wonderful. Lots of suggestions and suggestions!!!

She is greatest doctor, I feel she trade me like her family. I will recommend her to all my friends and my family…

She is excellent Doctor, very patient with me and answers all my questions. All her staff is very friendly…

Good experience

Very pleased with the professionalism and honesty displayed by Dr Khalifeh. Highly recommend her to everyone.

Dr. Matzie listened and offered relevant advice to aid my post surgery healing.

The entire team was welcoming, and helpful throughout the entire visit.

Hopefully this time will be more positive

Dr Matzi is amazing! Reviewed my records, gave an informative explanation and provided much needed reassurance. So very thankful

Good

Informative , and Caring

I was just concerned if the Dr laughing and assistant was about me when I was on my stomach on the table having the procedure done. And I thought he might have been a little rough but after many many times doing his job that may be hard to stop/ eliminate. But his quality was good as it seemed the procedure turned out well.

Dr. Sanchez has great bedside manners, listens and explains everything in way I can understand. I am very pleased that she did operate on me. Thanks, DR. Sanchez.

She was terrific. Thanks

Dr Plerhoples is awesome. He's patient and explains the issue and solution in a lot of detail! He also takes the time to understand and answer all my questions

They did a great job

Doctor Kim is exceedingly knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. During the day of the surgery she was able to make decisive decisions that have me the best care.

Dr. Plerhoples is a great surgeon.

Nice clean office. Pleasant staff.

Dr Matzie could not have been more patient, nice and thorough. I rarely have been this confident and impressed by a health care provider, and I have been a patient of some of the best providers in NOVA. So far, she has been the best of the best.

Dr. Cheng is the best!!! Great experience. Great team! Life changing. Under her care, I was at ease the entire time. I cannot thank you enough! Who knew at 54 I could get an upgrade! I’m now the 2.0 version of myself. :)

Clear discussion, caring about us

Very professional yet personable.

Really good doctor

She is a very easy doctor to talk to about a difficult subject. She knows just what to say and how to say it. I was very pleased and comforted after seeing her. Thank you!

Dr Matzie explained things clearly and thoroughly. I had plenty of time to ask questions and didn’t feel rushed.

Very professional and explained things in detail.

This was a preliminary visit for a colonoscopy. I provided Elizabeth York my medical history and answered any questions she might have. The appointment was very cordial and thorough certainly established by Elizabeth York.

Was seen on late notice and problem handled immediately

The staff is very friendly, the doctor and her nurse are very kind. Dr. Sanchez very nicely directed and explained the intervention itself. The intervention went very easily and quickly.

Everyone was extremely friendly and knowledgeable which really helped me feel less nervous

Front desk , nurse and doctor all first rate.

Dr. Khalifeh and her staff are always professional and courteous.

Everyone from the front desk, the Assistant & Dr. Kim were extremely wonderful. I didn't feel rushed, all my questions were answered. I will be scheduling another appt.

Dr. Matzie quickly and fully explained the causes of my discomfort, and provided practical solutions. I was very impressed with the professional manner by which the investigation and follow on discussion was handled and would highly recommend her and her staff to anyone with similar health issues.

Excellent staff and compassionate providers!

Dr Sanchez is a warm and compassionate provider. I’m appreciative of the care I receive from her. The medical assistant this visit could use to improve her bedside manner.

Dr. Matzie took the time to show me my images and explain exactly what was going on and explained surgical options honestly. A++

Dr Sanchez and her staff are great.

Dr. Kim is always concerned and supportive.

My issue was not addressed in the past & I ended up with an additional issue that I was not warned about

Dr Kim checked me out due to my concerns and gave me an Rx and OTC to help with my issues.

Questions answered very informative

When making the appointment, I was asked if I wanted it with a male or female doctor. Good question and glad it was asked. It gave an opportunity to align my own sensitivities to the reason for my visit and I chose a male doctor. However, the benefit of the question and selection was of no effect when the assistant in the room during the exam was female.

Great experience

Dr. Sanchez is great. Very direct and professional, answers questions and takes the time to explain diagnosis and remedies. Highly recommended.

Dr.Matzie is outstanding! Knowledgeable, gentle, caring. She puts you at ease to discuss your not so pleasurable topic of your complain with her soft humane approach; she explains to you everything in very understandable details and even with colorful pictures, so even person who is far from medicine will understand her really well. You will leave her office after appointment with the warmth in your heart and understanding that you are in good hands, best possible hands! I wish every doctor would be the way she is!

Dr. Colvin is awesome

Dr. Plerhoples is very personable. I like how after his exam/procedure he meets you back in his office to talk and explain things.

No waiting and the doctor explained every thing

NP Lynn was very gentle in removing the disfunction at the site. NP Lynn gave us the right medication which we can apply more than once a day, and is not harmful like the medication given by other doctors. That in itself a real blessing. my wife and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts NP Lynn. tom phan

Dr. Tillou did an excellent job with my surgery. He explained the benefits vs the risks and listened to my concerns. I was very hesitant to have major surgery, but it turned out that the surgery ended up correcting more than one issue. I would highly recommend Dr. Tillou to anyone who needs surgery.

Friendly, knowledgeable and highly skilled. I am fully trusting of her medical opinions and interventions.

PA York was very professional and listened attentively to my concerns during the colonoscopy interview.

Very professional, made me feel comfortable as possible. Explained everything as she was doing the procedure.
