Medical Technologist (Former Employee) – Sterling, VA – May 19, 2017
Salary and work are not matching. Employee has to work vary positions which are not related to their career. For example, a Med Technologist has to perform job duties as a Medical Assistant including taking vitals, medical notes, heart rates, etc., and even has to be a part-time engineer maintenance to check around building after hours to see if any lights out or any damage of building to make sure building in good shape. Patients come to Patient First with fully care and respect, but employees are treated poorly. Salary is too low comparing to the work load of employee. It is a waste of time and money in training process provide to employees for somethings which is not related to work position.
Pros
applied low technology, build up multi-tasking skills for employees
Cons
low salary, poorly treat

Enjoyable work environment
Registered Nurse (Former Employee) – Richmond, VA – January 5, 2019
Patient First is a good company. I learned a lot from the urgent care setting. The doctors and providers are fun to work with along with the staff. I enjoyed my job.

Cons
None
Very fast paced urgent care
Physician Assistant (Current Employee) – Virginia Beach, VA – January 2, 2019
At first I was very excited to work here and the bebefits were great, but I got burned out. The scedule is ridiculous and not consistent, they are always short on providers and always asking people to pick up extra shifts. No bscheduled breaks. Great for a workaholic, not for someone with a family. Over time, it wears you out. The schedule now conflicts with family life and social life.
Pros
Benefits
Cons
Hard work, burnout

Is this legal?
Not even sure (Former Employee) – Berea, OH – December 11, 2018
Cleaning around the office is done with used exam table paper.
There are items he buys (mostly broken/incomplete garbage) from online auctions stored in the drop tile ceiling.
His personal supply of oxytocin is disturbingly large.
His "head nurse" settles work place disputes by casually mentioning her concealed carry permit.
Why does he have a high school aged girl who comes in to work when the office is closing?

Radiologic Technologist (Current Employee) – Abington, PA – November 29, 2018
I trained as an xray/M.A. tech for a few months they are very organized. I only trained there did not actually work as a Technologist. It seemed that I was not a great fit
Pros
structured
Cons
too much clerical
Really enjoyed working there
Medical Assisting Intern (Former Employee) – Hampton, VA – November 14, 2018
As an intern, I was trained and treated the same as an employee. The employees were kind and helpful and welcoming. The Managers were helpful and kind as well. I received excellent instruction and training there. By the time my internship was done, I was doing many aspects of the position on my own. I was able to put my education to practical use with full confidence.
Pros
Wonderful environment, great learning experience
Cons
internship / unpaid
fun place to work

Great Starting Workplace
Patient Service Representative (Current Employee) – Woodbridge, VA – October 31, 2018
Patient first has an array of shifts from full time to specialty shifts. It really depends on the center you work at and that individual manager. Everything else is per policy.
Fast paced but enjoyable place to work
Physician Assistant-Certified (Current Employee) – Lutherville, MD – October 29, 2018
I work 8-14 hour shift. It is fast paced but well run organization with great support staff. The hardest part of my job is nights and weekend work. The most enjoyable part of my job is the staff is hard working and I enjoy the variety of medicine I see.
Very good organization to work for
Patient Service Representative (Current Employee) – Newport News, VA – October 3, 2018
Patient First takes care of its employees. I work in the front office. Once you learn the ropes, pretty decent job. Very fast pace, no appointments, walk ins only.
I learned a lot at Patient First but the management and the work environment are entirely too hostile.

Worklife
Medical Assistant (Current Employee) – Waldorf, MD – September 18, 2018
It's a very demanding job, being that it's the medical field, but very rewarding. Usually feels like a "family" within the co-workers. I've learned that you have to have tough skin, and willing to take direction as well as to be critiqued.
Pros
It's a wonderful company to work for
Cons
If you don't have an "in" sometimes it's hard to advance.
Medical Records Call Center Agent
MEDICAL RECORDS CALL CENTER AGENT (Current Employee) – Glen Allen, VA – September 12, 2018
This is a great position. It is very easy to advance to other positions within the company. They prefer to promote from within. Great company culture
Pros
Call Centers are able to work from home after a while, free medical care at any Patient First Medical Center
Cons
Benefits aren't that great for medical services outside of Patient First or for a specialist visit
Reputable company, dysfunctional location
Radiologic technologist (Former Employee) – Harrisburg, PA – September 5, 2018
As an RT working at the colonial park center, I found that it was a good job to start out as a new Tech and learning the field from the xray standpoint. It also taught ways to become a good healthcare worker and develop a good method of establishing a patient-professional relationship. After working there about 3 years, it became very tedious and I felt like I was constantly teaching new staff because the turn-over rate was so high in each department. It became very frustrating since the management slowly diminished and never improved the way it should have.
The only place for an MT.
Medical Transcriptionist (Current Employee) – Richmond, VA – August 25, 2018
By far, this beats working for an outsource company or in a physician's office. We never run out of work, get awesome holiday bonuses, and OT during flu season. It's not easy to get hired, but if you do, you can know you are genuinely qualified and trusted to work independently. I will never leave.
Pros
Flexible, well compensated, benefits
Cons
Learning curve for different style of transcription
