NOVA Patient Care | Primary & Urgent Care in Hybla Valley, Alexandria

This place left me feeling very discouraged. I have been sick. I called to make an appt. The guy who answered was very nice but he asked me why I needed to be seen. I replied for hydration and that I think I needed an IV and to help me be able to sleep while riding out the illness. He schedules me and they don't even do IVs at this location as it is not a real fully equipped urgent care, it's Urgent Care "lite". The doctor was nice. But again, I was there bc I am severely dehydrated. I am not urinating in hours, and I am someone who usually has an over active system bc of kidney problems. So even more need to focus on hydration. While the doctor agreed that I'm probably dehydrated and shared that it made a lot of sense given the details about my illness I shared... she never once assessed

Outstanding! I walked in and they were very accommodating and found me an appointment within half an hour. I saw Soojin Kim, an excellent family nurse practitioner. She was very courteous and professional. She asked a lot of good questions and discovered information I had not thought about. She did a thorough exam and explained her procedure and her diagnostic process. Then she discussed treatment and options for fast recovery. Very good. I will come here for my medical needs in the future.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Kim and cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very first appointment, it was clear that she is an exceptionally knowledgeable, intelligent, and thorough professional. She takes the time to listen carefully, explains everything clearly, and makes sure her patients fully understand their options. What stands out most about Dr. Kim is her honesty and genuine care—she doesn’t rush through appointments or give generic answers. Instead, she approaches every concern with thoughtful attention and expertise. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines such medical excellence with true compassion, but Dr. Kim does it effortlessly. The office staff also deserves recognition for being friendly, efficient, and always willing to help. They make scheduling and

I had an excellent experience at NOVA Patient Care! From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff made me feel welcomed. Lidya was absolutely wonderful—friendly, professional, and very helpful with the check-in process. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth and stress-free. Dr. Joshi was equally outstanding. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout my visit. His professionalism and genuine care really stood out. Overall, the staff here truly cares about their patients, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend NOVA Patient Care, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Lidya greeting you and Dr. Joshi as your physician!

The medical assistants/phlebotomist are very friendly and the wait time is usually decent. Dr. Desandies was an amazing doctor before he retired. I usually would give this office 5 stars but I am rating 1 star because of Alexandria Alberto. She is a new doctor at this location and when I say she is absolutely horrible. Do not book with her, she will give you the run around. She’s never on time when you’re supposed to be seen, super nice lady but rushes you through the appointment. How are you late and rushing me? My last appointment, I waited two hours just to never be seen. She doesn’t follow up with you regarding your test results. If you need a medication, please expect weeks for her to prescribe it to you. I will be reporting her to the medical board because this is the WORST DOCTOR th
