Tepeyac Family Center - Daniel Fisk

Jennifer in billing is the worst. In February 2021, she refused to bill my primary insurance OR my secondary insurance and kept sending me bills. I asked for her manager, who submitted to my primary. They were immediately paid on the claim. More than 9 months later, Jennifer sent another bill for speaking to the NP for the same sonogram they were already paid on - and again did not even bill my insurances. I'm about to sue her for harassment. The receptionist however was a pleasure, she tried to help as much as she could but Jennifer in billing is horrible to work with.

Given a Catholic faith based center, they are very transparent about their pro-life stance. However, today was the first time in my 12 years as a patient I had seen this office openly share political information in their waiting room. Frankly, this sort of information does not belong in a doctor's office.

I changed last minute from another practice to Tepeyac because they were the only practice that would honor the delivery I wanted for my deceased baby. They took me on very last minute and the next day scheduled me to have the delivery I needed to give my unborn baby a dignified birth. Dr. Muldoon prayed with me before my induction and both her and Dr. C took excellent care of me at the hospital.

Sue with scheduling and MaryEllen the nurse have both been the most patient and kind people to worth with. Since the moment I entered the practice I knew it was special. I live in Stafford, an hour away but will continue to use them as my OB. The drive and effort to get there is absolutely worth it!

Hand down best experience my husband and I had during a difficult time, we had a 29 weeker baby all the doctor's were great but the doctor who delivered our baby is God sent. Dr. Bruchalski great doctor made us feel comfortable pray with us just an outstanding Doctor.

I came to Tepeyac to seek help with recurrent miscarriages and secondary infertility. I saw Dr. C and she was patient, kind, and compassionate. I never felt rushed during appointments and she continued to help me out after I had moved from the area before I had a new provider. I am immensely grateful for the care I received at this practice. For those not familiar with NaPro doctors, this clinic offers hope for those struggling with infertility.

They don't tell you to try to conceive for 12 months and then come back. I made my first appointment after trying to conceive for 3 months using fertility awareness. Dr. C immediately had my hormone levels checked and put me on medication to correct an imbalance.

Not very clean. I wish I had shopped around more, but with this being my first pregnancy, I didn't know any better. The bathrooms where you leave your urine sample are always filthy with hair and wet puddles everywhere. The actual exam rooms are also always dirty- each time I've gone in, there's someone's hair on the floor and on the exam table which makes me think they don't wipe anything down.

The doctors themselves are nice and mostly helpful which is what's most important. They penalize you for being 10 minutes late, but keep you waiting for up to 45 minutes just to be seen.

I have been at this practice for 30 years. Helped with my fertility issues and the birth of my 2 children. Now, that I am menopausal, Dr. C is helping me navigate this new stage of life. The practice is a safe and nurturing environment.

Their billing is the WORST. When you look at the review, notice the date and year. Good reviews seems to come from over 5 years ago and their performance has declined over the years. I went here for my first baby in 2018 and got a genetic testing cost of $18000. Yes, you read it correctly, no extra zeroes there. Talk about stressing pregnant lady out with a bill like that!

After many phone calls, the lab made it to $200. Still expensive, but less crazy. What an unnecessary stress! I wanted to switch, but apparently once you are into certain weeks, it's hard to switch care provider. In my recent visit, 2/2020, they did a test on a swab from the private area. Cost of the swab lab test? $910. I am not kidding. I am working on rectifying that, but when I call billing, it says it will get back to me 1-2business days.

If you have HSA, don't go here. You will leave with more pain than before you go. They don't tell you when they use out of network lab even when their practice itself are considered in network provider on your insurance. My insurance rep told me they should have checked and let me know. I did not have this type of issue with any other doctors I went to.

Best place hands down. I would NEVER go anywhere else. People drive long distances just to go here. They always make you feel welcomed and take their time to answer every question you come in with. Everyone is super friendly. I had a traumatic first delivery when I lived far away as a Navy wife but now with my second they have reviewed everything that had gone wrong and have stayed on top of everything this whole time going above and beyond.

They also believe that the child is just as important as the mother so in the event that things might not go right they make it the utmost importance to save both the mother and the child unlike a lot of hospitals or in general what society thinks now in days. They are a Christian faith based practice as well. I will never stop recommending them. Dr. Pereira is my favorite but they are all great there.

Great and supportive and a great option for Christian families looking for support and encouragement. Very pro life which is awesome and i am too so i love that. The one thing is that they have a high induction rate therefore raising their csection rate too :

Tepeyac is a wonderful practice. They have cared for me throughout my three pregnancies and I couldn't be happier with their care and medical expertise. All of the providers have been kind and caring and were very supportive from the beginning of my pregnancies through my post-partum care. Dr B, Dr Fisk, and Dr Pereira helped deliver my children and they were all very supportive and respectful of my birth plan. I highly recommend their practice!

I highly recommend checking other options for prenatal care in the area. I'm Catholic, pro-life, and mistakenly told myself this was the only option when pregnant with my first. Although the doctors were generally personable, I received significantly better care with the midwives at GW and would just encourage anyone who is expecting not to feel stuck with any practice if it's not treating you as a whole person.

Besides my dissatisfaction with the care I received -- much of which I realized was poor only in retrospect when I went to the GW midwives for my second pregnancy -- the billing was a nightmare. I was told I owed random amounts at every visit, they always contradicted my insurance rep's info, and records of past payments seemed extremely disorganized. Luckily I keep all my receipts and HSA payments are easily called up online! 4 years later I get a letter confirming what I always thought: I had overpaid by several hundred dollars. I'm still waiting for the promised repayment. Here's just one example of how the care I got at Tepeyac differed from the midwives: At a routine check up about halfway through pregnancy when asked if I was having any problems, I mentioned low back pain.

The Tepeyac doc basically gave me a patronizing pat on the head and said welcome to pregnancy -- this from a man. When the same concern got brought up with the midwives, they said: that's common but not normal. That might indicate something about the baby's position we need to keep an eye on. Let's look closer. Do you always see feet poking out like that? Looks like the baby is sitting with his spine against yours.

Do these inversions whenever you can. And oh look, you've got a diastasis. Here's all the info on that. Here's what you can do for it. Here's how we'll try to compensate for that once you go into labor. We'll work extra hard to get that baby positioned optimally for exit. Here's info on physical therapy for that postpartum, and you or your PT can just call for a referral from us, no need to come in.

The result: with Tepeyac I had an unplanned c-section for a 9 lb baby. I'm 5'1 with narrow hips and was told he just got "stuck." With the midwives I had a drug-free VBAC and delivered a 10 lb baby. Anecdotal but. that's my review. Hope it helps.

I have gone to Tepeyac periodically over the years and my opinion has changed. I really appreciate their commitment to being pro-life, however this is the only good thing I can say. Their staff has no sense of urgency - when you need a blood test, a prescription, a lab order, etc. at a certain time on a certain day (i.e., you have to get your blood drawn exactly 3 days past ovulation, or something), they take their leisurely sweet time and don't seem to care if you end up waiting until the next business day --or week.

There are two staff members whose bedside manner was particularly lacking, and there was no compassion for my multiple pregnancy losses. As someone who is very passionate about the pro-life cause, it makes me sad that their standard of care is mediocre. They need to seriously step it up!

I took my mom there for routine Pap smear a few weeks ago. We were trying to schedule appointment with Dr Anderson originally but her schedule was full and we didn't want to wait long so we picked Dr Perrera. Well, it was a very bad decision. Dr Perrera was very rude and rough. During the exam, my mom kept telling Dr Perrera that she's in pain but Dr P told her that it's normal to feel pain.

She didn't stop the procedure despite my mom's moaning. My mom told me that she never had such pain before for Pap smear. A week later, the office called and told us to return to redo the Pap smear. Apparently, Dr Perrera messed up the exam. My mom was more scared than mad to redo the exam because of the nightmare she just had with Dr Perrera. However, I scheduled the second appointment with Dr Anderson, and everything went very smoothly. Dr Anderson showed my mom a little trick during the exam and my mom didn't feel any discomfort.

She was so relieved at the end of her appointment. Thanks to Dr Anderson. She is awesome! I would advise to avoid Dr Perrera, she has bad attitude and she's unsympathetic and incompetent. P.S my mom was hurt by Dr P during the first Pap smear and developed infection. Dr Anderson had to give my mom antibiotic Rx. Unbelievable!

This is the best OB/GYN we've experienced across three states and three pregnancies. They were consummate professionals throughout the prenatal care and the delivery. On top of that, they are a remarkably compassionate practice with a very personal approach, willing to bend over backwards to help us with anything.

I'm a little late in posting this, my son was born May 2017, but I enjoyed this facility and everyone so much! I was very pleased to find a pro-life, pro-god establishment in my area. Dr. Bruchalski delivered for us and he made our experience magical, memories I will never forget. He put us at ease, my birth was very calm I thought. I'm currently trying for baby #2 and am very sad I moved away because I would have definitely used them again.

This maybe long bare with me but my service here was AWFUL. Would NOT recommend to anyone. I started going here at the beginning of my pregnancy, the first few problems i had were them messing up my scheduling. Then rude doctors. Dr. Pererra had an attitude BOTH times I had seen her, anytime I asked questions she looked at me like I was stupid and answered them RUDLY, when I was telling her about some issues I had been having (almost passing out multiple times, my heart racing, body feeling weak all at once & a few other things ) she just looked at me almost as if she was irritated and said "you're fine, probably high blood pressure or it's your blood sugar" and let me go, do didn't even check my pressure or sugar.

The last straw was recently (I am 22 weeks as of now) I went in at 19W3D for my 20 weeks scan, they told me everything was perfect and sent me on my way. I got a call from them a few days later saying they need to redo my sonogram and when I asked why she said "oh nothing, just need to get a measurement" well that was a lie. I switched doctors recently, they called me and told me my Amniotic Fluid levels were low and that I need to go see a high risk doctor before I see them.

I am EXTREMELY disappointed in Tepeyac by not informing me on something so important as to low Levels of Amniotic Fluid for my son. My new doctor was shocked that they didn't tell me and said they should have given me a heads up so I can hydrate more to try and help with the problem until I can be seen. It's been 3 WEEKS since I had seen them, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone & I will never return.

My wife had a baby last year and Kim delivered our daughter it was a great experience that my wife is going back to them now that she is pregnant again. We recommend this practice to everyone. All the doctors are amazing, friendly and caring. We have nothing but good things to say about this practice the only downside you do not get to pick the doctor that will deliver unless induce but luckily all the doctors are amazing and you would not go wrong with whoever will deliver.

I swear on my life, this is the best doctors office I've ever been to! I had a MC, and Dr. Fisk and Dr. B were so kind hearted and were genuinely concerned for my well being. They went into deep detail on what happened, answered every question I had and unlike every doctors office I've been to, I did not feel rushed at all. I updated them every couple days or at least every week on how I was doing.

If I had any questions I would call the nurse and she would call back within 30 minutes. Trust me, she was EXTREMELY good at calling back. The ladies that work in the front are so sweet as well! Honestly, everyone was! The facility is so clean and updated. I can't think of ANYTHING to complain about! If you need an ob gyn, GO TO TEPEYAC! Hands down, best doctors office I've ever been to! And thank you tepeyac for your kindness!

Tepeyac Family Center has the most caring, knowledgeable and compassionate staff that I have ever encountered! I highly recommend them and if I was to ever have another child there is no other doctor office that I would use! Doctor B delivered my son and he will always have a special place in my heart! I had a difficult pregnancy and they made sure I was taken care of the entire time. Sending love and blessings to this facility!

I went here because it was the place ALL of my friends recommended (if they did have any OB-GYNs they thought highly of, this was the same name I heard). I went in for a second opinion when another provider wanted to jump to an expensive surgery. Not only are they really well mannered and nicer, they are also honest enough to say I need an invasive surgery I don't actually need.

They've been my OBs for years. All extremely knowledgable and helpful. Runs on a Catholic business model (so no birth control) which is exactly what I wanted. It's extremely difficult to find a non-Catholic who will not push birth control or belittle me for not using it, and support me on FAM/NFP.

The doctors don't make you feel as though their competent. One doctor will say one thing and then another will contradict that statement. They will not listen to your concerns and instead try to give you a cookie cutter treatment. They will let you walk out with incomplete care, you will have to research what you are supposed to get at the appt. and hold them to it.

They wrote incomplete prescriptions forcing me to be a courier back and forth between office and pharmacy. It was not until 2 weeks after my delivery (when i called and asked for a refill) that i was told i needed a 2 week followup. And lets not forget their inconvenient office hours. The office staff is poor at best. To sum up, poor bedside manner, poor customer service, low competence, inconvienent hours, bad office staff. Bottom line, find another doctor. The place is garbage.

I Love our OB'sat Tepeyac family center in Fairfax. In addition to the wonderful care I received through my pregnancies and childbirths, it was actually in the sad circumstance of a recent miscarriage that they really proved their worth to me. I'm not sure I would've received as compassionate care that respected the dignity of my baby and was as sympathetic for my emotions anywhere else. Also, because of their focus on the total health of the woman, I've had several friends facing infertility that were able to conceive naturally under the care of doctors at Tepeyac. If you are interested in natural medicine, these doctors are also very educated and open to working with you.

I meant to write this review ages ago, but never got around to it. Tepeyac doctors saved my life. I had a complication with serious bleeding after delivery and thanks to their responsiveness, Dr. Anderson saved me! Mind this was also at like 4AM and Dr. Anderson was there. Also, they work very closely with Inova Fair Oaks for deliveries, which is a great hospital.

I had a great experience there, albeit a near death one. You do rotate through all the doctors during your OB visits, but that's a good thing so you get to know all of them. Also, if you're in the hospital for a little longer like me, they rotate the visits as well so they all came to check on me during their daily rounds. I was working in D.C. and still drove all the way out to Fairfax to go see them. They are definitely worth it.

I'm conflicted with writing this review. On one hand, I appreciate that they are a non-profit practice that takes low-income pregnant clients. Very few ob/gyn clinics in the area do that. But that's where the appreciation ends. This is not a practice that is supportive of client choices. They are very one-size-fits-all, and clearly not used to patients doing their own research on health matters.

In fact, they are downright hostile towards patients who question them. They will kick you out of the practice if you disagree with any of their "recommendations." (I put that word in quotations because you aren't given a choice.) They do not care if you are a day away from your due date -- they will refuse to do your delivery if you question them in any way.

With one of the pregnancies, I was only in my 39th week and was already getting threatening phone calls from them for not just scheduling a c-section. Dr. Anderson actually told me I would be kicked out of the practice for not scheduling one. She tells me this, knowing there isn't another doctor anywhere who's going to take a new patient at 39 weeks.

She then says if I can make up some documents showing that I'm not as far along as I am, she'll reconsider (like an old calendar with dates circled for my last period). This was her telling me to lie! I called her out on that unethical proposition and she made it sound like I should be grateful she was giving me the option to lie to get what I want.

The thing is, I wasn't refusing a c-section -- I just simply wanted another week to see if I could go into labor naturally with what had been a healthy pregnancy. If that failed, I was fine with a c-section. I could go on and on about the misery I suffered under the "care" of that person (including feeling the first cut of my c-section, because she hadn't bothered to make sure I was properly anesthetized) -- just message me if you want to know more.

If you're going to go here, make sure to tell them your birth plan at the first appointment. Be sure they are supportive of it. Because they won't discuss it with you until you're too far along to find another doctor. Two big things -- know that they are not supportive of VBACs (even though they'll tell you they are) or of letting anyone go past her due date (even though their handouts says you're allowed to go up to 42 weeks).

And while most of them are all smiles most of the time -- just try and disagree with their "recommendations." The head of the clinic -- who normally is a nice guy -- was viciously unkind after simply questioning one of the tests they wanted to give me with my last pregnancy. "Go somewhere else, if you don't like it." Telling him I was already 30 weeks and wouldn't be able to get another doctor to take me on -- I got berated with lovely responses like "tough, it's not my problem, " "you need to grow up, " and "you clearly have issues with doctors." I sat in his office in tears, waiting for some expression of sympathy from him that never came.

He even insinuated I was lying about my medical history -- just absolute insanity, with no basis. I will never go here for another pregnancy. I've even donated to them in the past. Sorry, but never again.

This may be a bit of a personal review but I HAVE to share it. I was recommended to Tepeyac Family Center from a girlfriend who has given birth to both her sons here. I typically go to another place and do not go here since I mainly go for Birth Control and they do not do that. However in early 2012 I got pregnant and was on medicaid and they accepted it.

I took the chance to go right away. I had an emergency at probably midnight one night with bleeding and called the emergency doctor and got a call back within 10 minutes reassuring me that they would be there for me and the doctor was so comforting. I was seen the next morning right away and went home because the bleeding stopped. I suffered a miscarriage later on that evening and was at the emergency room when they confirmed it.

I went back to the Tepeyac Family Center for my follow up and make sure that everything was okay and they were so sympathetic, caring, genuine and everything that I needed at that time. (I am tearing up just writing this at how compassionate they were towards me when I felt like I had nobody. 2 years later and i remember with detail how amazing they were to me and it still brings me to tears.) The nurse not only comforted me but held my hand as I cried and told me her personal story and reassured me that it was not the end of the world and that this happens to a lot of women and it doesn't mean that I can't have children.

Next time that I get pregnant and am in the NOVA area (give or take 40 minutes- because i WILL make the drive) i guarantee that I would come here and have them deliver my future child/children. I have an amazing experience with them that I will never forget how amazing they were through such a terrible time of mine. The receptionist was prompt, courteous and so friendly. The nurses and doctors were amazing and made me feel like they had seen me for years and took care of me like they were going through it too.

Great doctors, great practice! I, for one, appreciate their whole family approach to medicine - ESPECIALLY with respect to defending life.

I have been a patient at Tepeyac since 2008. I also agree with Liz: they treat the cause (I also had the problem of doctors only wanting to treat the symptoms). I like them so much that I rent a Zipcar and drive out from the District for this OBGYN practice. I have seen Dr. Miriam Pereira and Dr. Lorna Cvetkovich, both were great. Right off the bat, from my very first appointment, they took me seriously (previous experiences from other practices did not) and ordered blood work, etc. to gain an understanding.

A word to the wise: be on-time. I was once 8 minutes late when I checked in (darn traffic on 66!) and they weren't sure if they would be able to fit me in. They called the doctor to ask if she would be able to take me. Yes, 8 minutes. The most that I've had to wait to be seen by the doctor is 15 minutes after the start of the appointment time.
