### 1/5 — App is horrendous

*2026-03-16, version 11.5.2*

Can’t pay a bill, can’t change contact info, what is it good for??

### 5/5 — Health is Wealth

*2026-03-12, version 11.5.2*

I’ve never had a problem with Inova. My primary doc is very friendly and he feels like family. I had to go to a specialist lately and the process was simple. With the few clicks of a button I feel like my healthcare maintenance is just as easy as pushing a few buttons. I like that and it makes me feel at ease knowing I can set an appointment and be seen rather quickly In person or using the virtual visit options.

### 5/5 — MyChart - all info in one place.

*2026-03-04, version 11.5.2*

MyChart has excellent notification, messaging and patient data collection in an easy to use/navigate app. Visit and test results are easily accessed;message capabilities are simple and always answered; e/ checkins are simple and complete.

### 3/5 — Regarding My Chart

*2026-03-01, version 11.5.2*

My Chart is less than user friendly.  

Why can’t we have a chronological list of all past visits, and a chronological list of list of future appointments?  

Why can’t I have a list of visits organized by main doctor (specialty: Cardio, oncology etc) with PAs and NPs under their main doc.  

With so many facilities please include the address of all appointments prominently in the notation,and a local office phone number, if I’m lost or stuck in an hour traffic jam I need to call in. 

Most of all, some of my doctors are not My Chart capable so I can’t be sure I’m not creating schedule conflicts.  Are those doctors ineligible to use My Chart? Do they refuse it due to cost? My Chart is a good idea, especially in that I was told it allowed access from other states and networks should I travel seasonally, but it’s a work in progress and leaves a lot to be desired. 

Thanks for considering patient feedback.

### 5/5 — Agradecidos

*2026-02-27, version 11.5.2*

Muy contenta su  su atención a pacientes ! Gracias

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-02-23, version 11.5.2*

This app provides you all information you need to know. Great app.

### 1/5 — Very slow in responding to reports

*2026-02-05, version 11.5.2*

I think the doctors are overworked, they are nice in person but very difficult to reach out to. We are rethinking to move to a different provider.

### 5/5 — Muy amables

*2026-02-01, version 11.5.2*

Tuve una atension muy linda detallada muy bien explicado el diagnostico estamos felises de esa atension brindada

### 2/5 — Another hard to navigate website

*2025-12-14, version 11.5.2*

This is another website that is hard to navigate.  You do realize in today’s society we are using this in every aspect of our lives.   It has become unbearable, unnecessary and undermines the intent of even trying to be relaxed and non pressured when going to to Dr for a health issue.  Even checking in at INOVA using the automated check is
a pain.  Try being over 6 ft trying to type info into the electronic kiosk. How about INOVA  Customer Sevice  focuses on providing quality care by going back to human to human check ins for checking in.  My health is stressful enough without having to cordinate everything via a computer especially when I need to speak to a human being.

### 3/5 — Agradecimiento

*2025-11-28, version 11.5.2*

Gracias, es muy excelente con todas la ayudas médicas y más por darme el tratamiento del VIH lo sugiero para todas las personas que necesiten ayuda
