Worked here for 2.5 years in Richmond. Management was inconsistent in protocols that were supposed to be the same in each office. Some were sticklers, some were a bit more lax. Worked through COVID, protocols changed quite a bit through the pandemic. Left right as they announced merit based raises after no raises for 2 years and furloughs the year previous.

Some managers were keen to keep employees that doctors "needed", but gave a difficult time. Favoritism is real. (I.e. a few employees were not cooperative with others and new hires and withheld training/knowledge making the job difficult. When management was made aware, no action was taken on their part other than to transfer the new hire to find a better fit in another office.)
Interview process was good, very straightforward and open, but then support afterwards for training was inconsistent. Each office/doctor has a different method of treating patients, so was unable to be properly trained in order to help each doctor/office. 
Pay originally was on par with the area, but after 2 years of no pay increases or bonuses, it was quite a bit beneath what the rest of the area was paying for the work.  

To start the day patients would come in and you would treat and pass them off to an already over worked and underpaid tech. At any giving time a tech would work with up to 6 patients at a time. It was a nightmare. As a PT it was  our job to finish notes but that wouldn’t happen if you were already behind. It was a mad house during lunch speaking of lunch we never got lunches or breaks. I don’t understand how this company hasn’t been sued by the EEOC yet.  As a PT I was talked down to an told I had low self esteem, that I lacked confidence, wasn’t a good therapist, overall made fun of and talked about to fellow therapist like I didn’t work for the practice. The office is a revolving door for PTs and techs. They don’t communicate effectively, talk behind your back, the office snitch is a member of the front staff, the director is another story. She needs to retire and find a hobby. Very messy and overall the worst director there is. The hardest part of all is getting up traveling to a place you have grown to hate. Don’t apply to this place because there is no room for advancement. The physical therapy part of the practice is very disappointing. It’s a lack of leadership and everyone is overworked for little pay.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I was allowed to do my job as financial coordinator and then scheduler and never micromanaged. After a short while there I was the assistant manager and I loved when the staff would get me because a patient was unhappy and after I listened and was emphatic they left satisfied and with the feeling they mattered to OrthoVirginia!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having to fire a coworker as assistant manager 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great the only problem I had l wasn’t allow to display scripture. After being assistant manager for 12 years I asked to step down from that position because I was told there were no raises for my position I was asked to be assistant manager but no pay for the position. The only recognition I got was an email to the staff that l had stepped down and the name of the person who took my position. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy scheduling patients but l enjoyed my patients.

If you enjoy being lazy, creating a toxic workplace, good at faking it, hurting others, or causing drama all while management backs you up or turns the other cheek then sign up cause you'll fit it wonderfully. If you are a good, honest, hard working person then run far away! Management picks favorites. If you're not part of the company clique your concerns are not heard and management puts it on you as the cause of your own problems here. Management is not on the same page and talks to you disrespectfully and sees nothing wrong on their part. The same people who work for a company to help patients recovery from injuries/surgeries and to feel better treat the best employees like trash. They believe and support rumors and lies that individuals make carelessly or with ill intent. Once you are not liked you are treated bad until you quit.

The staff I worked with was wonderful. The management and how the company functions as a whole is a disaster. You have upper management making decisions that they haven't worked or never worked in years. They have no idea about the daily workflow but continuously make decisions that hinder the current staff. Management sells you this cushy dream idea of a workplace environment. The job changes for what they specifically offered you from the beginning. You have some office mangers that spread your personal business from office to office. They need a class on office protocol that respects employees personal business when they come to you in confidence. The turn over rate for employees is high. They are at the point that they are hiring unqualified people for jobs that they never should have been in or stayed pass 90 days. There is no room to grow at this job and especially if you don't agree with the current status quo. But if you want to work here....... Don't stay long!!!!





What is the best part of working at the company?
Not working weekend or holidays. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
“Management” of the surgery center are all inept and are bullies, unbelievably  so.  Ask them about their turnover.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The “management“ ruins the job.  The work is easy the patients are great. The asinine things they come up with will baffle you. For the staff, there’s no bar high enough, for “management” there’s no bar low enough- completely different rules. They’re the picture of micromanagement.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work hard and the second you’re done the supervisor will waddle out and send you home. They don’t care if you get your hours or not. However, when they’re busy, they expect you to stay 12 hours without any complaint.

I would have stayed at this company if it hadn’t been for interpersonal conflicts in my own life that required me to search for a new job. Some of the regulations for filling the physical therapists’ time slots puts pressure on you to appease the patients without stepping on any toes, which can be a little difficult to navigate at times. My particular office was also extremely busy, so if you’re looking for a less stressful work environment I’d keep in mind that not all of them are quite as calm as the smaller locations. Overall, I enjoyed working with my colleagues and the management was competent. There are some staffing issues, but that’s mostly because the tech positions are a stepping-stone for undergrads who leave to finish their degrees. The pay is decent and the benefits are great for a starting position like this. I would recommend. 

I have worked for this company over a decade and I still enjoy coming to work.  

While no company is perfect, overall, OrthoVirginia has supportive leadership who recognize hard work and dedication.  Ultimately, you have to be willing to give them 100% - if you can do that, you will be happy, you will feel appreciated, and you will have opportunity to grow.

Over the last two years, the company has grown tremendously.  As a result, there have been some expected changes with insurance, benefits, and mostly recently, computer systems.  However, I think they try hard to minimize changes and keep employee out-of-pocket costs down.

Not every day is a great day and there is always a ton of work to be done.  But at the end of the day, I am happy to work for quality providers who have a great reputation across the state.

Because of the high patient volume you would always have a job unless you screw up. We can always complain about our jobs because let’s face it, no one wants to have to show up daily to a place where you’re told what to do. However, looking back at my position (while not working there), I can say I really loved working there mostly because of the family friendship I made with my co workers, the personal relationships I made with patients, and the doctor I worked for. I can’t say the same for the entire practice. I was lucky to work at the best location, with the best doctor, management, and staff. Miss my group. 
Ps. If you’re looking to work for this company, just be ready to multi task your butt off and fill in for other teams when you’re doctor is not in clinic despite having a bunch of your own work to catch up on (eye roll). 

You will be checking in so many patients a day with big problems and bad attitudes. You are the face of the company and get the brunt of everything. Sometimes you can find a manager or department lead who can help you, but most of the time they are hiding in an office snacking and gossiping. Only some of the doctors care about you and the patients. Between the front desk and the doctors, only a few staff actually acknowledged how much we dealt with. Each of us had to stop many fires a day, but no one is there to give us props. They only tear us down over mistakes we make. They need to make the overall culture here much more positive and give incentives to the front desk workers. The work culture is toward new doctors and PA's. Forget the administrative workers who almost lose their minds 5 times a day.
