One road from Oakton to our door
Oakton sits on Route 123 just north of the City of Fairfax. Follow Route 123 south through Fairfax City and across the Occoquan River, and you reach our clinic, just off Route 123 near I-95. It is about 19 miles. From Great Falls, on Georgetown Pike (Route 193), the trip is about 31 miles, usually by the Beltway, so we keep clinic visits for things that need them. Directions are on our Woodbridge clinic page.

Health for an outdoor life
Great Falls Park on the Potomac and Riverbend Park are on the doorstep here, and wooded yards are common in both communities. That brings its own health questions:
- Tick bites and bug-bite rashes, reviewed by video with photos
- Poison ivy and other plant rashes
- Sprains and overuse injuries from hiking or running
- Sun protection and skin checks
- Strength and balance as you get older
How care usually works here
Start with a 45-minute video visit to set up your history and goals. Follow-ups, refills and lab reviews continue by video, and members can message between visits. Exams, injections and treatments such as IV therapy happen in Woodbridge.
Home visits focus on areas closer to the clinic. Text us your address and we will tell you what is possible.
