Hey ladies! I need some help in finding a good OBGYN and RE in the Hampton Roads area of VA. Also they need to accept Tricare Standard insurance. Tricare Prime is trying to make me to go to the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth and my husband and I have decided to switch my care because of all the negative things we have heard about that facility. Thanks for any help you all can give!

Bumping up! I know there are an awful lot of VA girls here. Anyone know of a good OBGYN and RE in the area? I will drive anywhere to see a good doctor.

I'm a military brat and grew up in the Hampton Roads area most of my life. I would tell you to run to the Naval Hospital. I had some of the best excperinces there. Before I lost my benifits my Dr was there and was one of the best. They are actually the one's who diagnosed me. Unfortunitly I don't have those privilages anymore so I'm not as lucky as you, but I would say go their better than most people give them credit. | |

I have already been in to see her and I love her! Plus the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth is really BAD! I just talked to a fellow Navy spouse from the hubby's ship and they accidently switched her paperwork with someone elses, told her she had cervical cancer, and removed 3/4 of her cervix before realizing they made a mistake. NO THANK YOU!

Probably around sept/oct I'll be trying the only Endo in the charlottesville/waynesboro/staunton area, albemarle endocrinology. What's the name of your doc in Va beach? My parents live there and I wouldn't mind driving if she's really good. Is she an Endo or GYN?

I had my son at Va Beach General. I was not pleased with the exp. I had but its supposed to be a great hospital. I would have never went to Ports. to save my life on it but thats JMHO. The Dr who delivered me retired but they were directly across the street from VA Beach General. I cant say I liked that practice but I did like my Dr. A friend of mine has been there since and says everyone now is really nice. Good luck!

I have been going to Bethel Clinic here in Hampton (military). Good grief. My doctor is clueless. I'd love to go to healthcare on the economy. Can you just request that from Tricare? My PCM is horrible.
I'll let you know if I find anyone good in the area.

I can tell you that I have been dealing with portsmouth for 10yrs now and have no complaints. I gave birth ta 2 children one of which was a c-section there before I ever had any symptoms of PCOS. It was there that I was dxed with PCOS and where I begam my treatment for secondary infertilty.
I can say that I am now seeing an awsome Dr in Richmond because they are now closer for me to see as we moved 2 hrs west of hampton rds, but Don't believe everything you here about a place, it doesn't matter where you go there is always going to be someone unsatisfied with a horror story. Then you have to realize that most DR's in hampton rds and elsewhere as far as that goes where trained by the military.
If you do how ever need a good Dr in the richmond area the richmond fertility instituite is awsome.
