I have been a patient of Dr Alice McKnight for years. I have been satisfied with her but no the personnel. Over the past few weeks I have been trying to make an appointment and the phone weren't working accept around 12:55 it says they're at lunch. I went to the building and the doors are locked. Not sure what to make of this.

Along with the last reviewer, I too am pretty sure they’re closed permanently. I tried multiple times to call them, left 2 voicemails, 2 messages on the patient portal, and 1 virtual request for an appointment. Never heard back. Never got any messages about closures or reduced hours. Awful patient care, there’s no excuse for not communicating with patients.

Extremely annoyed with this place, they don’t pick up the phone and they don’t have anything on their website or anywhere saying that they are permanently closed I even showed up to the office because I needed an appointment. They are clearly permanently closed and just forgot to notify all of their existing patients. What a joke

Thank you for you nothing, Physicians for Women. I am a patient at this facility since August of 2020 (during COVID-19 pandemic). The staff here are rude, with no manners and treat you like they do not want to work here. It makes you feel not welcomed. On top of being a patient here, Dr. Salgado recommended me go to a endocrinologist (they provided details on who to speak with that they recommend; which it seems they were never open either) and gave me trial birth controls to try. I ended up having to research my own endocrinologist in Fredericksburg area. She (endocrinologist) prescribed metformin

My wife has been going here for the past 3 years and we love it, especially the new office that they are currently in. Dr. Segal delivered our baby boy, he was efficient, kind, funny and helped put my wife be at ease considering how stressful pregnancy can be for the husband ; ) I felt the staff and all the doctors were very nice, caring, and attentive.

I had a wonderful experience up until my delivery. After 24 hrs of labor and prob 10 hrs of HARD labor, Dr. Siegel broke up my cervical scar tissue (a KNOWN issue). My baby literally POPPED out less than 20 minutes later. In the mean time, lots of things went wrong:
1. My baby's heartbeat plummeted (due to Cervadil),

Dr. Siegel is the best! All these years I've always felt uncomfortable with gynecologists. I'm glad I found this practice! He delivered my baby last year and made me feel comfortable and helped every step of the way. I've seen almost all the doctors at this practice and I don't have any problems with them at all! Definitely going back here with my second pregnancy!

The doctor was dismissive and brushed off my concerns. Gaslighted me into thinking that nothing was wrong with me. Didn't do tests that I asked about... For the whole 2 years after that appointment, I lived thinking that was I going through was normal. Until my new doctor (different practice) listened to my concerns, ran the test, and saw that I was not, in fact, paranoid and all my concerns were legit. Thanks to Physicians for Women, I went untreated for years and lived in pain and discomfort. Wish I could give them a zero.

I loved my doctor, Alice McKnight, but I wish she would move somewhere else with a better front desk staff. Everyone is unprofessional. They don’t call & confirm appointments; which may not be important normally but is extremely necessary now considering the current pandemic. I shouldn’t have to call you to see if you all are taking patients again. The front desk staff are also extremely incompetent. Like extremely. They do this screening where they ask you these questions about covid symptoms that anyone can lie about & still get served, but if you work in the healthcare field & are honest

I made an appointment with this doctor through zocdoc where she was listed as in my network. I talked to someone on the phone who confirmed my appointment. When I showed up for the appointment they told me they couldn't accept my insurance even though the doctor accepted Aetna because TWO YEARS AGO the billing was merged with a different company. You would think two years would be sufficient time to have updated the information on zocdoc and prevent issue like this. Very frustrated as I just made special arrangements for this appointment.

I feel somewhat neutral towards Dr. Hibshman. She was nice and explained things, but I always felt rushed. Her office is terrible though. If you call, there is no option to just leave a message for the doctor or her nurse, you have to be put on hold to talk to appointments who then transfer you to leave a message. Once I left a message it would take days to get back to me. I once called and asked what cold medicine I could take while trying to get pregnant and someone got back to me three days later. My GP called me back within a few hours when I finally called his office instead. This was not

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Hibshman and her office staff when I brought my teenage daughter in for her first GYN exam. My daughter's physician recommended Dr. Hibshman so I had no reason to think this would be a bad experience. When I called to make the appointment, I clearly stated that this was for my teenage daughter and I wanted to make sure that the doctor was sensitive to her needs. I was assured that this would be the case.
When we arrived, we waited at least 30 minutes to see the doctor. The nurse called my daughter in for what I assumed was her height and weight check

This doctor as well as all the doctors I have seen at physicians for woman are great! I go to physicians for woman in Alexandria and all of their doctors are amazing!

Dr. Hibshman is amazing! I don't normally write reviews, but I was so impressed with my visit today that I had to write one. I had put off having a pap for years because I hated going to the gynecologist. My exams in the past were uncomfortable and the doctors seemed annoyed when I would ask questions. What I discovered after seeing Dr. Hibshman for the first time was that a visit to the gynecologist isn't so bad....my other doctors in the past were just not very good. She made me feel so comfortable and the whole process was quick and painless. I prefer a doctor who can get an exam done

Do NOT go to this doctor. After 4 years of putting up with her and having the worst experience of my life with this practice I want other women to know how truly terrible this office is. Dr. Hibshman could care less about her patients. She rushes through your exams, does not listen to your concerns and will refuse to see you even if you have an appointment. Her advice after having a difficult time handling fertility issues was "cry and eat a piece of cake"- are you kidding me?!

I had an awful and scary experience with this doctor and her nurse. I was not properly informed of my test results and went through a lot of anxiety because of a lack of communication. I tried to contact the nurse for clarification and she never responded.
I was straight-up told something untrue about how my condition would affect the future of my relationships. In addition, I was told I was going in for a simple procedure but they did a more involved procedure that was painful. Not only that, but it caused side affects that I was not warned about, which caused me further anxiety. I had to spend

Dr. Hibshman is my regular doctor and is very nice. HOWEVER, good luck trying to get an appointment with her or any of the other doctors here. I had an emergency and went to an ER clinic two weekends ago. After treating me they stressed it was extremely important for me to follow up with my regular obgyn to take further action. When I tried to make an appointment, the front office staff told me a date three weeks away. Then they told me they would try to 'fit me in sometime sooner' and would call back with a time and day... they never did. The first question the staff ask over the phone

I wanted a obgyn that was close to where I live and this location is quite convenient to 395. Dr. Hibshman is good at conducting pap smears in record time which is helpful, but I agree with earlier reviews that comment on her rushing around. She isn't in the exam room for very long so there isn't really a personal relationship with your doctor.

I'm surprised by the mixed reviews of Dr. Hibshman. I've been her patient for nearly 5 years, and I followed her even after she moved from D.C. to Virginia (which means a longer commute for me).
I guess I could see why people might interpret her as "rushing," but I honestly LOVE the fact that she gets the annual pap -- an pretty unpleasurable experience -- done so quickly! I personally don't need to feel like I have a great relationship with my OBGYN, but I've found Dr. Hibshman to be a doctor who asks about my personal life. I've always asked questions and

Dr. Hibshman at first seems very friendly and caring. I even chose to have her deliver my baby after seeing her once but after seeing her several times during my pregnancy I realized that it felt more like "acting" than genuine interest in the patient. She forgets what she has said in previous appointments, she rushes, and she doesn't take the time to read your record carefully before talking to you. She recommended that I should have a c-section because the baby was going to be too big and the day of the scheduled c-section as I was waiting to be taken into the room she told me

I couldn't disagree more with some of the posts I've seen. Dr. Hibshman was not only warm and friendly, she was not pushy at all-
Not only did Dr. Hibshman accommodate my schedule, she came in early on a day that she normally doesn't so that I wouldn't have to take off sick for work- that's a great doctor.

This office is terrible! Long waits, terrible phone system, and a total of 3 minutes with the doctor, all of which were her pushing the drug sesonique, witch is crazy expensive and has cost me over a grand in the last 3 years and i have insurance. And on top of that they cannot submit a claims form to insurance correctly. I gave them 2 tries and they screwed it up both times costing me hours on the phone with my insurance company, trying to resolve the issue.

Dr. Hibshman is a pretty average doctor. I liked her but she didn't stand out as wonderful.
Her staff, on the other hand, is absolutely horrendous. I would not recommend going to see her solely so that you can avoid her terrible staff. They are rude, unprofessional, not helpful and many should have lost their jobs by now...in what professional office is it acceptable to intentionally hang up on a patient? and that is just one of many grievances that I listed in my review of Physicians for Women.
