Virginia Integrative Health

Dr Ginnan gave me my life back. My significant other and I both visited Virginia integrative Health for treatment when most of our MD’s couldn’t figure what was wrong with us. I couldn’t give any higher recommendation, you will not regret seeing seeing her and her staff. Although we admit their hourly costs and lab works are higher than average (thus I deducted 1 star).

You billed my insurance company over 15,000… That is fraud on steroids.
I wish I could give you zero stars

Dr. Ginnan diagnoses with unaparalled precision — like no other healthcare provider I have seen in either alternative or conventional medicine in over 25 years. I suffer from Ehlers-​Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that contributed to a staggering array of severe ligamentous injuries caused by severe motor vehicle accident. The accident also triggered multiple autoimmune diseases and systemic gastrointestinal disorders.
One of my autoimmune diseases, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), is considered rare. Of the few physicians who are even knowledgeable about it, the vast majority is too scared to touch it because it involves recurrent anaphylaxis — swelling of the throat tissues and resultant airway that can be potentially fatal. Dr. Ginnan is one of, if not the only physician who truly more knowledgeable about my condition than both my medical experts and myself after 20 years of extensive medical research and treatment. For me, this translates into a tangible hope for reversal of my autoimmune disorders. Anyone who suffers from chronic, progressive illness knows hope is everything!!!
If that weren’t enough, Dr. Ginnan is as compassionate, as he is courageous in his willingness to fully treat someone with MCAS, in addition to a constellation of complex medical issues. Moreover, his team is as dedicated to exceptional patient care as he is — true exceptions to today’s fragmented and dysfunctional health care system. They are compassionate and take time to listen, while striving to give each and everyone of their patient’s the best healthcare available. They utilize cutting-​edge medical information from both conventional and alternative disciplines and apply appropriate healing modalities.
Virginia Integrative Associates stands out as outstanding star in contrast to what is fast becoming a failed medicine system in this country. It is the way medicine should be!
Postscript: This is only the second testimonial I have written about any physician, and I am only doing so now because I am truly impressed with the exceptional level of knowledge and commitment to patient care provided at Virginia Integrative Associates.

Please refrain from posting non-​factual information in a review otherwise you are violating laws regarding defamation and libel. Please change your review to only post factual information.
Nope, it is factual and if you think what I said in my review isn’t factual, then sue me!
You may want to re-​read the emails, as what you posted does not match what was written. Also, Dr. Petrie doesn’t have a practice in Virginia.
Of course she doesn’t…lol
Dear Ms. Preston–
It has come to our attention that you have not been complying with your required treatment plan as we outlined for your FLMA. As you know the FLMA that we completed for you was for a reduced work schedule specifically to attend weekly doctor visits, to include our office. You have not attended ANY of these weekly visits at our office since the FLMA was signed by Dr. Ginnan, despite phone calls from our office which you failed to return.
We feel ethically bound at this point to retroactively rescind your FLMA, unless you keep your weekly visits at our office starting on June 15, 2015. Please call us immediately to set up your appointment
WHO DOES SOMETHING THIS ABSURD, EVERYONE I HAVE TOLD THINKS IT SOUNDS CRAZY!!!

Email # 4 – oh and this is patient Jay W – probably the only good review of this business!
Thanks for the great review on Unilocal,to my family business that was only trying to help you. Much appreciations. You and I both know that all they were trying to do was help. You were getting better when you were going there. But I guess if you didn’t get exactly what you wanted. Slander! That real mature.
Have a nice day God bless.
Jay W.
Of course Dr. Petrie (I mean Ms. Petrie because her Chiropractic license is suspended per an email I received from the VA Medical Board) doesn’t have a business which is why I received a civil summons to appear in Fairfax County Court on 7÷29÷15 and she is the named plaintiff suing me for $ 25,000 for defamation and tortious interference of business. I guess she’s trying to get the $ 25,000 from me that she was fined by the VA Medical Board. This woman is definitely a quack and a fraud and I am contacting the media to out this scam to warn other victims!!!

Do not go to this quackery! They are scary bad. Be prepared to pay a LOT out of pocket for ridiculous testing. I went to see them about a achilles tendon problem and ended up taking tests that had nothing to do with my problem. Then received a bill for $ 1831.72 because the insurance company, and I may say rightly so refused to pay for tests performed in a questionable at best lab in Ohio. DON’T GO!

Like the previous reviewer, I also visited this group in response to an ad in the Post. Ms. Yvoune Petrie promised the world in the introductory seminar, and they were eager to set up testing and office visits. While the office staff calls her «Doctor’, the credentials on her business card identify her as an. M.S.S (Master Social Services)./Case Manager.
After a lot of blood tests and several visits, they were not able to tell me the cause of my pain, much less do anything to help. I went to see them one last time just to pick up test results since they refused to mail them. I had asked to see Ms. Petrie but was told she was no longer available to patients. I did chat with Dr. Jaroudi for about 5 minutes, and he reconfirmed that there was nothing else they could do for me. They insisted on weighing me and taking my blood pressure even though I just wanted to talk, They then billed my insurance company $ 500 for that office visit.
I wish I had done more research into who these people are before I wasted my time and money on them,.

Gave 1 star only because there is no 0 star setting. Went to Dr Petrie in response to a advertisement for diabetes treatment which claimed that the disease could be reversed. Enjoyed a luncheon and presentation which caused me to sign up and pay for an initial consultation. I wanted to believe what Dr Petrie said and completed a detailed patient history prior to our first one-​on-​one meeting. At that time, she wanted $ 6,500 front money for a six month course of treatment and the clouds of doubt began to gather. A quick internet search reveals that Dr Petrie received a disciplinary action from the Virginia Board of Medicine in 2014 which included suspension of her license for six months minimum and a $ 25,000 fine. The board’s findings of fact included that she «advertised and/​or represented her services in a manner that is false, deceptive, and misleading». She is also listed on the Fairfax County Consumer Protection website as engaging in false and unauthorized billing practices.
Enough said. Avoid this doctor, her Virginia Integrative Health, and Virginia Functional Medicine practices like the plague. You can’t run away far enough or fast enough.
