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.

Amazing Doctor

I've been a patient at his practice since first settling in Virginia in 2012. I was then 62 or so, and I've remained their patient. Some reviewer said that Dr James didn't take new patients older than 65, and I doubt that's true. He admits to being a geriatric-oriented practice.

I began seeing Dr. James when I retired late last year. Due to Covid, my appointment in April was cancelled and everything including blood work was pushed back to June. So this was a routine visit. I have referred both of my daughters to Dr. James since then. He and his staff are great.

Due to current conditions, visit was conducted via telephone. As a long time (30+years) patient of Dr. James I was comfortable with this arrangement. Thankfully I have not had any major health issues and our visit went smoothly.
