My doctor was DR. Uy and he is a great physician and was very empathetic and a good listener. I was very happy with him during my time in Virginia. They are polite on the phone and respond to voicemails for prescription refills very fast, usually the same day.

Dr. Vidwans is our favorite doctor! He caught my husband’s cancer at a yearly checkup and sent him immediately for treatment. He’s extremely kind and he listens carefully when you’re describing a problem. He’s really an amazing young doctor. We love this practice!

Love Dr. Vidwans! He is a kind and knowledgeable doctor that wants to help people and provides lifestyle options rather than shoving pills down your throat. We moved to Maryland and still kept him because there’s no better PCP for us.

Excellent care and compassionate services. Wife almost died while we were traveling. Long hospital visit across the planet. After more surgeries and complications than I can count, the hospital discharged my wife with some minimal information. We flew home. Had a few pieces of paper to describe a week in the ICU and another week in trama surge. Doc Uy and his team have been very helpful in getting the follow-up care my spouse required. Sending love and good vibes your way!
