Moving to Surry, VA next month! Excited to continue our homeschooling journey in a new state! :) Now. Who has some recommendations for GREAT pediatricians in the...
Jennifer S. replied:
Yeah! Ive spoken to you before about moving to Surry. So does that mean your husband got the job at Chippokes? Best pediatrician and family doctor is Thomas and Shannon Pope (Family Medical Care) and they are located in Smithfield, about 20-30 minutes away from you in Surry. Also our church, Bacon's Castle, has an Awana program if your kids are interested in that.
Erica P. replied:
So... I know it's not what you asked, but you're coming to the right area for pediatric dentistry! Dr. Bobby Garafolis. He has 3 locations. Coliseum Pediatric Dentistry in Hampton, Peninsula Pediatric Dentistry in Newport News, and another in Williamsburg. You will love all the dentists and assistants there. Good luck on the pediatrician!

Rhoda A. replied:
and for peds we go to Chesapeake Pediatrics they have 2 offices. We see Dr Scott Eichleberger.
Melissa T. replied:
Norfolk would be REALLLLLY far for you to go. Not sure how many kids you have, so if it's just once or twice a year, maybe not that big a deal, but I don't know if you'd want to have that kind of drive if you had a sickie. Suffolk would be much closer, though still not close. We see Dr. Curry at Nansemond Pediatrics in Suffolk.
McRae B. replied:
Prince George county - Caldwell pediatrics
Jessica P. replied:

My daughter left Caldwell after my grandson was misdiagnosed twice and she ended up with him in the ER both times, they just stated it was a simple cold and it was much more. She bow takes both of my grandchildren to Colonial Heights Pediatrics.

Karen Saunders PNP@Prime Care Family Practice is THE BEST!

Dr Yu with Yu Pediatrics. She is amazing. Takes her time with patients. If you call in for a refill she asks personally about the child, asks about school etc. I love her as do my children.
Not an issue!
Question: I would like to hear thoughts and opinions of Caldwell pediatrics. I'm thinking of switching my 4year old from her current doctor to here, as...

Chester Pediatrics Dr Campbell is awesome!
Aspen H. replied:
My children go to southside pediatrics near SRMC they see Dr. Mary arrieta and have been since they were born. She is an amazing doctor and easy to get into see her too!
Sarah L. replied:
We switched from Caldwell, this past fall. Come to find out my 1 year old was missing 3 vaccines. We never missed a visit, and no one could explain it to us. Wait times are horrible. Over 2 hrs with an infant is no fun! We are at Dr. Yu now. No compaints.
Blair D. replied:
My twins see Dr. Eley at primary health group Appomattox.. I really like her and she does family medicine so they won't have to switch after they turn 18.
Lia T. replied:
My son went to Dr. Caldwell until he was 6 years old. We *adored* her ... but her office staff was the worst. Disorganized, clueless, slow to respond, and incredibly rude no matter how polite we were. We complained to her several times but nothing was done so we had to say our goodbyes. We see Dr. Shahab at Colonial Heights Pediatrics now and we're having a much better experience!
Belinda W. replied:
We go to Chester Pediatrics. Dr.Shayne is awesome with our kids.
Susan F. replied:
We loved Dr. Caldwell. My children saw her since they were infants. They are now 25 and 21. Never had any problems
Not an issue. Is Dr.Yu a favored pediatrician or would you recommend else where?
Emmy H. replied:
I liked Dr. Caldwell but her staff was rude and i always ended up sitting in the waiting room for 1 to 2 hours.
Jenny B. replied:
I'd go elsewhere. Dr Yu is rude and horrible!
Jess C. replied:
I wouldn't recommend Dr. Yu. She's very rude and can not seem to treat people with respect as patients or parents of the patient. She has mis-wrote many prescriptions or forgot to write them at all. I understand she's in practice by herself but obviously she can't handle it. Also, I've witnessed her treating her employees like crap. Not professional
Nancy B. replied:
Karen Saunders pediatric nurse practitioner at Prime Care Family Practice is the best!
Courtney I. replied:
Karen Saunders@prime care
Amanda W. replied:
I take my 3 kids there and we all love Dr Yu and her staff!!!
Chris B. replied:
Dr Siri at Children and adolescent clinic
Darlene S. replied:
Definitely Karen Saunders at Prime Care!! She was my doctor when I was a child/teen and loved her. If they would have taken my children's insurance I would have taken my kids there before we moved.
Monica T. replied:
Dr. Shahab at colonial heights pediatrics.... He is amazing
Melissa S. replied:
I like Dr. Jawed Iqbal@colonial heights pediatrics
Mel K. replied:
We've been seeing Dr.Yu since before she opened her own practice. Absolutely love her. Took great care of my premie (now 11( & remembers all of her history. Very thorough, listens and cares about her patients. Highly recommend Dr. YU.
Sandy M. replied:
Dr Iqbal is awesome he has seen my child since he was a week old and is now 11 years old never had a problem
Jessica N. replied:
I love Dr. Yu, she's extremely professional and she and I refer patients to each other frequently!
Emmy H. replied:
Dr. Iqbal misdiagnosed my kids, my friend's kid, and years ago my sister. After going through 2 other peditricians before him i decided to take my kids to my doctor for the past 15 years, Dr. Armstrong.
