This is the worst physical exam experience I have ever had. I really hope you can read this comment and avoid going there. From the doctor to the assistant, all the people there are irresponsible, ignorant and even a bit discriminating. Here is my story, I scheduled a immigration physical examination in this place, the first time I came there (with a reservation at 9:00 am), I waited 2 hours to see the doctor, at the meatime, the doctor is seeing other people the whole time. I can understand you want to make more money by seeing more people, but you should be at least be responsible for other people's time, especially when getting my work done that day only takes 15 minutes. When I was preparing the paperworks with the doctor, I was told that I cannot file the form because I had only one dose of a vaccine (MMR), there is no sufficient time for the second dose, this is considered as a blanket waiver and the vaccination is considered as completed, from CDC policy and USCIS policy, as clearly explicit in their websites. However, the doctor arrogantly said that I am not considered as complete. I am not sure how this doctor got his permit to perform exams, but it is clearly showing how ignorant this "doctor" is. I am not sure if she do this only to people applying for immigration, if yes, she is discriminating. Okay I can bear that, I have scheduled vaccines anyway, so I got my second vaccine done, and schedule another time (another 9 am). I have to leave from work to do this, and yet again, I was ignored. I waited another 3 hours from 9 am, and again, the doctor is seeing other people instead of preparing my documents THE WHOLE TIME. After 3 hours I was told that the printer is broken, and they just don't want to do anything. How irresponsibe and arrogant they are to say this? In summary, I spent 8 to 9 hours in this place, and 90% of the time I was waiting and watching this doctor to see other people. I am still now "waiting" for the printer to be fixed, wihtout anybody doing any explanation. Oh by the way, this is a doctor, from top to bottom, they cannot speak English fluently, not sure how can you be registered. In summary, If you are looking for immigration physical exam, you have other choices in the Harrisonburg area.
