Care across Northern Virginia
Primary Care for Springfield, VA, Without the Mixing Bowl
Springfield patients see a nurse practitioner by video and visit our clinic about 11 miles down I-95. What to do where, and the nearest ERs.
Care that does not depend on the Mixing Bowl
Springfield grew up around the junction of I-95, I-395 and I-495, and anyone who drives through the Springfield Interchange knows how unpredictable it can be. That is why most routine care for Springfield patients happens by video: blood pressure checks, medication reviews, lab results and new problems that do not need an exam.
When you do need to come in, the drive is simple. Head south on I-95, take exit 160 for Route 123, and the clinic is a few hundred yards from the ramp. If you do not drive, tell us when you book and we will look at whether video or a home visit makes more sense.

Fitting care around the I-95 commute
- Book video visits for days you work from home, or join from a private room at a Virginia office.
- Save clinic visits for a Saturday, when the drive down I-95 is usually lighter.
- Choose a pharmacy near home or work; prescriptions are sent electronically when appropriate.
- If you are a member, message refill requests instead of booking a visit.
- Keep a list of your medicines and any home blood pressure readings in your phone, so a short video visit covers everything.
