Inova Fair Oaks Hospital

This was my first time getting surgery in my life and I was terrified. I really enjoyed the realtime color status update for loved ones! Literally, my surgical team all looked like actors - everyone was beautiful and said all the right things. They made me feel super safe and I was confident going into the operating room. The post-surgery staff were beyond wonderful and helped me through the first night. I wish the rooms were bigger but I did have my own vs some people on the floor had to share. I would have surgery again at this hospital.

My husband and I delivered our first child at Fair Oaks, and we had a wonderful experience. ALL staff were kind, patient, and experienced. They respected all of my decisions for birth and helped me get through labor, delivery, and post partum. I wanted an all natural birth, and the nurses (Leah, Katie, Jennifer, Michelle, Patricia to name a few) were right there to help me through. In the end, I did opt for an epidural, and I was so frightened. But Dr. Thanh gave me peace. The whole procedure was complete in practically two minutes and just minutes after that, I was relieved of pain while still able to move comfortably. Dr. Pickens delivered my child with ease, walking me through the labor professionally. The lactation consultants empowered me to breast feed when it was initially very challenging. As this was my first child, I didn’t know what to expect and brought an over packed bag that I honestly didn’t need. At Fair Oaks, you can come empty handed. They provide you and your baby with everything you need from ice packs to diapers. The chairs in the rooms, which are nicely sized, turn into beds which was very welcomed for my husband. Lastly, the best food is at breakfast, especially the French toast and coffee. We are really so thankful to Fair Oaks and hope to have our future children there.

My daughter had a tooth extraction here and everyone was wonderful! Nurse Susie Williams went above and beyond to make my two year old daughter comfortable in pre op. Her professionalism and dedication to her job was beyond impressive. Thank you so much!

I do not understand the bad reviews. I guess some folks are just never satisfied. I can’t imagine the great service we received all over the hospital wasn’t shown to everyone. This past Wednesday a family member had a knee replaced. From start to finish staff was efficient, professional and very kind. When we would ring for help, the staff arrived within 2 minutes. Fastest response time we have ever experienced. The doctors were superb and sorted out a complication he had after surgery. No requests went unfulfilled. Special shout out to PACU nurses Elaina and Mohammed Ali. Plus all the techs and nurses on floor five. HIGHLY recommend this hospital.

Terrific team on the emergency crew last night! They took me back as soon as I finished checking in - I never even had to take a seat in the waiting area. From intake, wound examination and cleaning, x-rays, stitching and discharge, the team was nonstop engaged, telling me what they were doing and what was next every step of the way. They even made sure to point me to a nearby 24-hr pharmacy so I wouldn't have to wait till morning for my pain meds since there isn't an all-night RX near my home. Serious and well-deserved shout-outs to Xenia at reception for keeping her cool in the face of an unusual injury - bad horse bite - and to nurse Olga, EMT David, and discharge specialist Carly...and the initial nurses who took my detailed information before I was assigned a room - I didn't get their names but they were terrific too. For a deep laceration requiring extensive cleaning and sutures on both sides of my hand, not to mention imaging, I was in and out in about two hours and was *never* alone except for five minutes after the x-ray as we waited for someone to become available to return me to my room. Well done, INOVA, well done.

I gave birth to my baby boy here 2 months ago. I had a hospital transfer from a virth cenyer I was supposed to gove birth at. Unfortunately, unexpected things came up that needed medical attention. all the nurses and the OB were fantastic and respectful. The night nurses were spicifically wonderful. They explained everything they were doing and asked my consent on pretty much everything. The Anesthesiologist was fantastic getting my epidural in on the first try safely and swiftly. I felt no pain after that! I was finally able to get rest after not sleeping for 3 days. I'm hoping to have my next baby here in the future!

Labor/delivery and post parturm review An absolutely fantastic experience! I would have no problem recommending this place or answering questions. Initially I was concerned after checking out the reviews for the delivery hospitals our insurance covered. Our entire experience though was magical and trust me, if it wasn't I would be writing a scathing post as I have done elsewhere. The entire staff (techs, nurses, Drs etc...)and facilities were top notch. Also attentive, polite, caring and guided as through the scary unknowns of parenthood. At no point did I have a concern about the well-being of my wife or newborn. Furthermore, I was expecting to rough it. But the delivery room has a chair that converted into a bed and the post parturm room had a couch that did the same.
