Sentara Pediatric Physicians & Services

This practice is not new, but new to the PA area.
The location is beside the new Sentara Hospital and closer to Princess Anne Rd. in the Glenn Mitchell Building. I have only been to this satellite office twice and have been impressed.
The entire complex is only seven years old and still looks new. The parking lot has plenty of room and has always been clean. The small lobby prior to getting on the elevator was clear of debris. Two elevators are in the three story building which is adequate. Sentara Pediatric is located on the third floor, right off the elevators and left side of corridor.
The check in has been very easy and proved a breeze on my last visit too. They of course need an insurance card on every visit which is there new policy. AS well asking if your child, or you have traveled outside of the U.S.
The waiting room is new, spacious, sophisticated and even has a new born area that is walled off with class. This is the waiting room that you seldom get, but always want. A few toys are on the table, but no annoying TV running kids cartoons, or movies that usually get ignored any way.
It took no time at all for my son to be called back to his primary physician Dr. Victoria Strasnick. Her nurse Mary did her thing with weight and height first. The back area is very clean and organized. I also saw the doctors secretary Candice who answers the phone and is super wonderful all of the time.
The standard put in a room and told the doctor will be in shortly which in some offices could mean 10 – 15, maybe in 20 plus minutes. Well my son’s doctor popped in immediately and gave him a great exam. She also allows time to talk about how he is doing at school, look at his current games he plays on his phone and is most often high energy smiling constantly.
We come to this practice for several reasons, most certainly Dr. Strasnick who has been often voted best of Hampton Roads. However, we also go her for there ease of getting into the office and that is usually a pitfall of pediatricians, especially on Mondays. Another reason is office sick visits that start at 7:30 AM, no appointment required, this is rare folks. Also, she has a great supporting cast of experienced physicians around her, important when your doctor may be on vacation etc.
This is now our 10^th year with Sentara Pediatric Physicians. I have recommended them to many friends, several who now have there children as patients. I often get thanked by these friends because they know the difference and in some cases had made changes. Our family has been happy with their care and I think yours would be too
