Dr. Abdullah in VA

Curious if anyone has seen Dr. Abdullah in VA. I see him at the end of the month and am wondering what to expect. They said I would be there at least 3 hours. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Lizzy,

My daughter has seen Dr. Abdullah (and his wife) for 6 years.  We live in Maryland.  I’m going to see him at the end of the month for myself now.  I’m not sure what your appointment will be, however, it’s usually a series of appointments at first.  Intake, tests, tests, results/discussion, treatment plan.  He’s very thorough, very patient, one of the best, very knowledgeable and worth the wait.  

There are heart tests, tilt table and blood work. I believe the first appointment is information gathering and some possible basic tests.   It’s usually not the first appointment when you do the tilt table.  

Sometimes I’m not sure why the appointments take so long but I just bring a magazine, take a day off work and roll with it.

Make sure to bring your notes of things to discuss or ask because I find it’s easy to forget.

if you need something in writing for school or work - get it before you go.  Don’t walk out without your prescriptions when it comes time for that.  Bring water to hydrate.

My appointment is on the 25th.

Thank you very much. I am also from Maryland and Dr. Abdullah’s name was given to me since Dr. Khurana does not see new patients. I am anxious to get to some answers and direction.  (Crossing my fingers that I finally get some). I hope your appointment goes well.
