I and my mother have been a patient for over 10 years with Dr. Ansari. I even can not say enough about him. He is the one of most caring doctors ever. My mom is 77 years old and have two intestinal surgeries due to cancer, he took care of her more than surgeon. One day, she had a chemotherapy ( we told him the schedule of the chemotherapy in INOVA) at the well visit of me, my mom received phone call from Dr. Ansari next day of chemotherapy when taking a rest in her bed, he asked how she feels , how chemotherapy went , and even he recommended nutrients for her. We were new to Fredericksburg 15 years ago, we had another family doctors. But, we switched to Dr. Ansari because my neighbors all see go to him. My mother and uncle said as soon as they saw Dr. Ansari, they feel like they just be cured and recovered. I think he has a healing power, which God gives special gifts to some people who has a good heart and caring nature. I read previous review, I am not try to defense the comments. As my family who has been taken care from Dr. Ansari, can say if he asked the patient About the hospice care, Dr. Ansari who is the one fight for your care which must take a place with the facility. Sometimes, we can not understand his accent or meaning of his speech, if he says something, all meaning is for taking care of his patients. My uncle moved to Richmond but, he still drives long hours to come see Dr. Ansari. He has a healing spiritual, does not charge much, and always asked about insurance status of my children to make sure his care to be paid. My friend’s young daughter received some stitches from Him, she got bills less than 5 percent compare to ERs. The young daughter was taken care of the emergency situation less than 5 minutes. I even do not understand why this clinics have negative comments. There are so many other new clinics in this areas (?) Dr. Ansari is the oldest doctor who takes care of us in Fredericksburg and doing good things for the community. I highly recommend this healer !
