Ophthalmologists in Charlottesville, VA

We took our then 9 yo son to Dr. Weiss last year, and he was great with him. http://weisseyes.com/

We had a great experience w ith Dr. Ashley Shauer, although that was several years ago now.

Record and Record at Pantops. Dr. Carol is great

Dr. Christian Carter...great with kids!

Dr. Christian Carter is fantastic!

Dr. Christian Carter is THE pediatric ophthamologist in the community. He has private practice downtown but also works at UVa Hospital doing eye surgeries on kids. His father Bruce Carter is also in the same practice.

Dr Weiss has seen all of our children. Ages 3-13

Dr Bruce Carter, pediatric ophthalmology

Dr. Ed Wortham in Richmond is the best pediatric ophthalmologist around, I think. 804-272-8040.

Drs Record and Record on Pantops. My kids go to them and they are great.

Dr Bruce Carter is great. My daughter started seeing him at 6 months.

Well, it depends on if you need an optometrist or a ophthamologist. For ophthamologist either Bruce or Christian Carter are awesome (Father and Son). Optometrist, I'm not sure.

welcome Sandra, C'ville is a great place to live. In terms of holistic practitioners i would recommend Dr. David Brents who is a holistic chiropractor and has so many other offerings as well including energy work, cranial sacral, etc.. In terms of acupuncturists i really like Sarabeth Whedbee. Cindy Janechild is a former nurse practitioner and now practices cranial sacral work, Zero balancing, etc... She is perhaps my favourite holistic practitioner in the area. In terms of doctors, you may want to check out the following: http://www.healthyvim.org/practitioners.html

Jennifer AndDallas Smith, that was very much my experience as well. We ended up settling on Ashley Rennick. I was sort of lightly bullied by Dr Gelburd about the whooping cough vaccine (to which we have a documented family history of reactions so that was our biggest no go in terms of vaccines) and we ended up with Ashley for the next appointment. She's been amazing and very informative, accommodating, and no pressure about it and I think she would be completely accepting of either viewpoint.

I recommend Downtown Family Healthcare - great practice and I have found all of them to be very open to alternative ideas - they will even suggest herbal or homeopathic solutions.

Yes to Downtown Family Health for sure! All the Drs and Nurse Practicioners there are wonderful. Virginia Integrative Medicine is amazing, but they are not general practicioners, and you have to pay them upfront, then submit insurance yourself. I go to Megan Custer of Ivy Commons Family Chiropractic (she works with all ages) with associated Zero Balance/Massage by Becky Graves.

We really like Downtown Family also but some of the drs have different opinions than others about vaccines. They suggest a delayed schedule but I had a friend who was not received well for not vaxing. One dr wanted my youngest to be up to date on his shots by two but another isn't worried about it at all, so you kind of need to shop around at the practice, I think. All that I have visited do suggest homeopathic first though and they even offer cranio-sacral massages in their office. B/c of that my insurance covered it after my concussion. Another option is Prax Chiropractic.

Love, love Albemarle Square Family Health. I see Dr. Campbell but Dr. Shaw and Dr. Neihaus are good too.

Yes. We do not do the typical vaccine schedule with our 2 year old. We do them. Just spread them out. Not sure how they would react to no vaccines at all but they are very open minded in general. They are a standard medical practice but have been v ery open to natural meds. Dr. Campbell studied with Andrew Weil (a natural health practitioner) after completing her medical degree. They block out huge chunks of time for each patient and come in and literally chat with you about your life and health concerns. They have drop in hours every afternoon. They are just AMAZING. You may have to get on a waiting list to become patients but it is well worth it. Don't see Dr. MacFarland, he is more traditional meds and heavy in antibiotics. Everyone else is fabulous.

eye dr - Dr Toler 804 231-9151, Cole and I drive from Waynesboro to Richmond every week to see him for Vision Therapy

Beth Carpenter found a good pediatric dentist just down the road from her!

Sherri-- We liked Dr. Brian Townsend for our optical needs. He's on 360. He diagnosed a condition in Joey that turned out he needed a specialist for. He was always awesome with me, but now that we don't have eye insurance, we just can't go there. ...See More

I go to Dr. Townsend too...he's great!

We use Baxter Perkinson and Associates for the dentist. I take my kids with me and they are fine.

We take Maddy to Hanover Pediatric Dentistry and they are awesome:)
