Carient Heart & Vascular

The Woodbridge location had no reviews. Carient care is all a scam and I am re-​posting my review from that location over here as well.
This place is a total scam and they are all about making money. Went here to get an echo performed and to gather some heart data from a holter monitor. Our insurance company stated that we owed them co-​pay as we saw a «specialist doctor.» There was not one doctor onsite and the echo was performed by an echo specialist, not a real doctor. Also, they sent another claim to our insurance company for dropping off a 24 hr holter monitor. The claim indicated that he holter monitor was a «48» hour when in fact they did not even have a «48» hour and only a «24» hour and charged our insurance company for a «48» hour!!! Also, just for dropping off the «24» hour holter monitor at the front desk, they sent us another «$ 30» specialist co-​pay which stated that we saw a Dr, Shahryar Mafi!!! Who the F*** is Shahryar Mafi??? I never even met that person ever in my life.
Did a follow-​up appointment with my PCP as he advised me to go see him after I get my echo/​holter done. My Dr. informed me that Carient care never provided the results over to his office. During my follow-​up my Dr. had to contact Carient Care and they stated that the results were sent, when in fact this was false as the Dr. did not have anything from them! Please beware if you go here you may end up paying for fake medical claims. I have submitted this information over to my insurance company
Lastly, the billing department was so rude, very rude. I called them inquiring about the two co-​payment bills that I received from them and the lady went off on me over the phone. I basically asked them why I received two bills from them for a special co-​pay and to summarize what said over the phone, she basically said my insurance company sucks… Oh how polite! Carient care sent a few unprofessional uncalled for fake medical claims over to my insurance company. Am I supposed to automatically pay these bills without contacting the billing department and asking them questions about the bills? Avoid this place! Places like this why the US medical system is corrupt and why we need a universal health care system ASAP!

I’ve been treated at the Manassas, Warrenton, and Gainesville offices by both Eric Thorn, MD, FACC and Chirag Sandesara, MD, FACC. Both physicians are highly educated and knowledgeable. They consistently treat me with the utmost professionalism and compassion. The office and clinical staff are a pleasure to work with and their offices are always clean, up-​to-​date, and accessible. A+++++++

I’ve been seeing two Cardiologists at Carient Heart & Vascular (formerly known as Virginia Cardiovascular Associates). Dr. Perrin is my primary care Cardiologist. I chose him after meeting him during my Mom’s illness. He was my Mother’s Cardiologist and my brother has visited him as well. I really liked Dr. Perrin the first time I met him. He has a very thoughtful, caring way about him. I was impressed how he interacted with my Mother.
So when I had some medical issues requiring a Cardiologist — I went to see him.
Dr. Perrin is very skilled at what he does. I have a tremendous amount of confidence and trust in him. There needs to be more Doctors in the world like him!
Dr. Perrin was recently named a «Rising Star» by Washingtonian Magazine’s review of area medical professionals.

Everybody please help towards healthcare reform… I was told by my doctor I would need a nuclear stress test on my Heart… Received the referral and called Virginia Cardiovascular associates. They get back to me say I am covered but I will need to pay $ 1000 upfront in costs that my insurance will not cover… So I cancelled the appt. Please support Health care reform!!! Would not recomend them to need to have money upfront!!!
