AllCare Family Medicine & Urgent Care - Ballston, VA

Booking the appointment, checking in and being treated all went very smoothly even though it was a Sunday. A professionally run and caring experience

Very efficient location along with minimal wait!

Dr. Burke is the best! He's very knowledgeable and easy to understand. The office is well organized and I never have issues with making appointments/checking in.

Dr. Burke is one of those doctors you wouldn't want to leave even after moving to another state. Super friendly, attentive, and empathetic. He's truly one of the best out there! The staff at the front desk are fantastic too - responsive and considerate! I'm very grateful for all the support I recieved at this location. 10/10 for Dr. Burke and his staff! :)

Racial Bias felt at this location with Dr. Matt Burke. It took me a few hours to process my experience because this is 2022 and I couldn't believe this was happening. Upon entering my room, Dr. Burke immediately made mention that he would be leaving the practice in a month and therefore couldn't become my primary doctor. Fair enough. I should probably find a permanent primary care physician anyway.. He proceeded to ask me if I had my Covid shots & boosters and my annual flu shot. Check, check, check. Then he spent almost 10 minutes telling me I would need a tetanus shot, a shingles shot & that I had a choice between two colon cancer screenings (one very invasive and one take home kit). I made a joke about the fact this was a lot of information and decision making before I had even received my primary care for the actual reason I was there--to get blood work to make sure everything else (cholesterol, blood sugars, etc were fine). I mean he hadn't even checked my heartbeat or my reflexes before informing me about all these tests. But, that's beside the point. And then the next comment that came out of his mouth took me majorly by surprise. He said "Well, the Obama Care act allows you to get all these screenings for free." Confused, I told him "I have (fill in the blank/standard) insurance" and then he asked me who I worked for. He seemed very surprised for some strange reason that I had a more conventional health insurance plan. I answered him politely--still thinking that he couldn't possibly be racially profiling me. Could he? I mean, I'm showered & dressed up. I even have my pearls on today. I was very pleasant & friendly to him. But unfortunately, YES, this didn't feel "normal". This felt discriminatory. I actually thought about walking out immediately, but I needed to get my annual physical done. For people of color, I highly recommend requesting another doctor. This pains me to have to share this experience with all of you. I've never experienced anything like this before WITH A DOCTOR, someone who is supposed to provide unbiased, nurturing care. My heart is broken for anyone else who may have experienced this. Be careful on who you request here at the Ballston location. Otherwise, the rest of the staff is absolutely AMAZING. My only hope is that Dr. Burke checks his privilege and maybe takes some courses towards racial bias! Not all people of color are underprivileged and on Obamacare!

Absolute lifesaver. Was able to make a same day appointment. They were able to see me and give me a prescription on the same day. Also, this was on a Sunday- so even more impressive.

Dr. Burke was extremely understanding, patient and helped me feel calm. The office staff was very friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommend their office.

Great service, nice people! They were caring and attentive. Highly recommended! ❤️

I had such a great experience here! I came in really nervous about a bad cut, but all staff made me feel incredibly comfortable and safe. With other urgent cares I’ve had to wait a long time in a waiting room that felt both cold and dirty. After completing the very easy inpatient form on an iPad, I only had to wait maybe 7 minutes before I was seen. I felt like both the doctor and medical assistant took time to make sure they heard and addressed all of my concerns, as well as some kind questions about me to help establish a human connection. At no point did I feel rushed or like I needed to wave anyone down to get some help! I’m thrilled that I found such a helpful team within walking distance of my home! If I didn’t already have a wonderful PCP, I would definitely look into coming to AllCare Ballston for my general wellness care on top of any urgent care needs.

Seen very quickly! Felt heard and like my needs were addressed. Very thankful for the team here!
