July 7, 2026Jordan P.Verified patient
I had such a great experience at Fairfax Gynecology Group. When I first arrived, I couldn’t figure out how to find the entrance. One of the receptionist came outside and walked me upstairs herself. She wasn’t annoyed about having to go all the way downstairs to get me. She was bubbly, professional, and glad I was there.
At the appointment, Carlyn was great. She really listened to me, she made sure I fully understood every option and path to take, and made me feel welcome. I would recommend Carlyn and this practice!
