Obstetricians/Gynecologists (OBGYN) in Richmond, VA

I love my desi dr. http://www.wellness.com/dir/2471870/obgyn/va/richmond/sucharitha-vigneshwar-sucharitha-vigneshwarmd-md

Dr. Christine Isaacs at MCV. Or the midwifery practice at MCV or St. Francis. I am a birth doula, and they take loving, gentle, honoring care of the women they serve-- unlike most any docs in the city. Plus you have the benefit of the doctors that back them up being right there if you need them.

Dr Moore James river obgyn

I add another vote for Dr. Stephen Bendheim. Been with him since I moved here 9 years ago and he's been my favorite OBGYN during my many moves. He listens and had handled complicated pregnancies well! I believe he's in the same practice as Dr. Royal, so it would be pretty easy to swutch over.

Okay, I will try to keep this short. Dr. Royal basically forced me into a c section and other things I did not want... in which my heart stopped after the operation. She tried to tell me I "passed out" even though I coded and they had to use a defibrillator Oh, and THERE IS NO RECORD OF THIS IN MY FILE! I promptly switched OBGYN's after that horrific experience, yeah she was nice and all but really wanted to rush me through and just do a c section which almost killed me then it was never reported I assume to cover their asses. I went through a couple of OBGYN's who were neither good nor bad, until I found Dr. Bendheim. Love him to pieces, he is very attentive and listens to you and if you tell him you want to do your birth a certain way, then he respects your wishes. Dr. Santosh delivered one of my children and I had no problems. I moved recently so I had to find a new OBGYN and went to Dr. Hicks. She is so busy she has no time for you and not only that, I told her how I felt while on Mirena (another nightmare story I will spare you the details) and she told me it was impossible, it was all in my head, she chastised me for not going to an OBGYN for not having my period for 2 years and told me I probably have cancer now (not kidding) she also tried to force me on birth control and I told her No because of the bad experiences I have had physically and emotionally but she kept on and on, it was the worst experience I've ever had, she does not listen and is a know it all. So after coming to my friends on facebook for recommendations, I found Dr. Moore at Chippenham who is an absolute saint. I love him just as much if not more than Dr. Bendheim. He spent over an hour just talking to me about all of my experiences and kept it real with me. You can not go wrong with either of them, good luck!

Dr. Jone's office at st. Marys was amazing. I used Dr. Sura Edmond but she's moved away. But the nurses were angels and I'd reccomend that practice because of them.

kesha, I know you aren't interested in Johnston Willis but Flora Williams is a Godsend!! loooovvvveeee her!

I've used Adrienne Maraist for 18 years. She delivered my 3 babies

Dr Stephen Bendheim@VPFW is wonderful! He has been my doc thru all my pregancies...has been there with me for the good & bad. He is at both hospitals.

Richmonddoulas.org make contact, and they will help steer you to resources that match your needs

Virginia Womans center is the best, I love Dr Zechman. She made my csection so comfortable compared to my first one who was with a diff dr. She has been also awesome when we found out I may have cervical cancer. I highly recommend her !

Thanks so much ladies! I will definitely check them out. Whew! It's been a long road over a short period of time. I am with Dr. Royal, but I think she may be too busy. I feel like just a number.

Dr. Santosh at Virginia Physicians for Women.

Dr. Wiles at Richmond OB-GYN. They have an office at both St. Francis and Johnston Willis. He primarily see's patients at St. Francis though. I've been seeing him since I was 15, so half my life, both my mother and sister see him, and he delivered both my daughter and my niece. His nurses are great and I've never had a problem ever getting through when I need to. Also, his wife helps teach their parenting/pregnancy classes for first time parents.

LOVE Laura Pendlebury at Virginia Women's Center!!!!!

Dr. Emily Stone at VPFW or Dr. Laura Pendlebury at VWC. Both are amazing.

Sorry cuz. Elizabeth Rogers at Henrico drs VA women's center

Tracy Hicks is wonderful. She's at St. Francis. Two babies with her. Nurses are great too!

Erika Blanton at Henrico Doctors was the 1 st female OBGYN to practice in Richmond (if not VA). She was also named #1 in Style Weekly recently. I trust her & her staff to deliver a baby over the phone, blindfolded. JK but she is the best, & delivering her 3 rd generation.

Dr. Hirata! She is wonderful.

Dr. Dausch at Henrico Doctors westend obgyn, she is the BOMB! She delivered my 2 babie sisters, my baby brother, and my 2 girls!

Dr Fred Moore at OBGYN Assoc at Henrico Doctors has been my OB for close to 8 years and has delivered all my kids. he is simply amazing and his nurse is also!

Dr. Royal with Virginia physicians. I felt the same way about my old OB and she was such an amazing and refreshing change. Love her!

Dr.Stephen Bendheim is at both of those hospitals. I had HORRIBLE morning sickness my entire pregnancy and was on Zofran until the day I gave birth. I highly recommend him! Feel better!

I have seen all the Doctors at West End Ob but my favorite is Dr Mahoney. My last pregnancy was a difficult and high risk and she was awesome. She even called and checked on me in between appts. I have been going there since I got pregnant with my twins and they are 18 now

I see Dr. Hirata at St.Mary's (and her NP Conner) - both are excellent. They take their time during appointments, so I never feel rushed, and they listen to me and address any questions or concerns. They make me feel comfortable, too. Dr. Hirata sometimes runs late (due to her spending lots of time with patients), but NP Conner was usually on time (I'd recommend getting the earliest appointments in the day to see Dr. Hirata). I was very happy with having Dr. Hirata as my OB during my 2 deliveries and cannot recommend her enough.

Dr Hirata or Jefferson at St Mary's Va Women's Center!!!!

Dr. Lawrence Miller is amazing and has been around for years. He is affiliated wit Henrico Doctors though. I honestly trust him and his nurse Suzan with any and all of my obgyn needs.

Dr Emily stone w Virginia physicians for women is awesome and is at st Francis

Dr. Lawrence Miller is csection happy. He may be a great doctor, but he pushes csections over vaginal births. St francis has a great midwife but Im not sure what her name is but Ive had several friends deliever with the midwife at st francis and have great experiences.

Dr Murray at Westend OBGYN, she is awesome and delivered 3 of my children!!! Seriously, awesome!

I was with Dr. Royal until I got pregnant. I called at 6 weeks pregnant with a horrible stomach virus with my first child. She just called in Phenergan suppositories and wouldn't see me. My neighbor at the time told me to call Commonwealth OB/GYN, which was the practice she was with for all three of her children. She had severe hyperemesis gravidarum. I saw Dr. Karen Knapp and never looked back. I loved that she is no nonsense, but so caring. I felt safe with her and she knows her stuff. Good luck with your decision!

I go to Dr Knapp too and love her.

I go to Richmond OBGYN at St. Francis.

I LOVE my OBGYN! He is a wonderful and caring doctor... I've never had a doctor I trusted more. He is amazing -- Dr. Mark Hyde, at Virginia Physicians for Women. It's a large practice, so I assume they would be able to work out a payment plan. I can't say enough about him.

I go to Dr. Shoeffler at VA womens center and couldnt say enough nice things about him and there practice! They were saints during my pregnancy!!

Dr. Karen Jefferson - Virginia Women's CEnter at St. Mary's is wonderful!

Dr. Susan Dausch, west end on/gyn... Dr. Woodward family doc, but I cannot remember the name of the practice!

VA Women's Center is the best. Dr. Hutchison and his staff are wonderful.

This may be a stupid question... But... Do they do normal well checkups & ob visits? I have only been in VA for a year & have never had any kind of medical treatment here. My daughter goes to her pediatrician regularly, but other than that I have no experience with VA health care...

I have a midwife at Complete Care for Women. But there is an OBGYN as well as a family practice doctor there as well. They are located in the medical offices next to Chippenham Hospital. I think they have payment plans--I know they do for the birth center that I'm using.

To learn more, please call the financial counselor at any facility. Memorial Regional Medical Center 804-764-6829 Richmond Community Hospital 804-225-1721 St. Francis Medical Center 804-594-7970 St. Mary's Hospital 804-281-8365

You may not be able to get in with us (VCU Family Medicine) but, you can always check VCU Internal Medicine. They have more docs than we do.

If you are willing to drive, I say Dr. Heather Zechman. She is with Virginia Women's Center in Henrico Doctors on Forrest Ave. in Richmond. She is wonderful. She has delivered 2 of my grandkids and supervised the delivery of a third. The one she assisted on she talked my son through the delivery because he asked if he could do the actual delivery. She was standing right behind him if needed but he did it!

My OB/GYN is Dr. Shannon Weatherford at OB/Gyn Associates at Henrico doctors (Forest Campus). LOVE her. Also love Dr. Snead at Pediatric Associates of Richmond.

I see Dr Tate at Virginia womens center St marys office.I have seen pretty much the whole practice over the past few years with very trying pregnancies. I will drive hours to stay with the practice. They also sponsor Richmond Mom! Heard lots of wonderful things about Pediatric Associates on Ridgefield Pkwy.

I absolutely love pedicatrician Dr. Amelia Colley with West End Pediatrics. She has the best bed side manner, spends more than adequate time with us when there and always returns calls promptly. My OB Gyn is on the southside but he is great and worth the trip.

Pediatric Center (there are 3 locations) Dr Tull is AMAZING and has been a wonderful resource and doctor for our preemie. Shes been GREAT and we love her!

OB: Dr. Knapp is the best - knowledgable AND personable

(oops) Pediatrician: Dr. Charles Terry; preschools - we've been to many in GA, and Christ Church on Pouncey Tract is our absolute favorite! Activities: Twin Hickory Library has a great story time, and Short Pump Children's Museum annex is great for the preschool set.

Dr Charles Terry or dr Rowe!!!

I am joining Moms Treehouse. I couldnt really find any moms groups. Moms treehouse is the best thing next to it. I am starting with there stroller strides class and I am also going to The Little Gym. Also there is a coffee and playhouse type place in Cary town I have yet to try out but heard great things....and of course as far as pediatrician...Dr Iwashyna at West End Ped. I am sure you can agree with that....I just noticed your profile pic. He is great with my daughter who is 6 mo.:)

Oh and I like Pediatric Associates, Dr. Kristen Powell. Dr. Karen Knapp is my OB at Commonwealth Physicians for Women and LOVE LOVE LOVE her. She got me through a lot. Coffee and Cartwheels in Carytown is really fun, small, but fun.

Pediatric Associates on Ridgefield Pkwy, Dr. Christian, Dr. Rowe, Dr. Terry,...all great...there are a number of moms groups on the Meetup web-site for different areas of town. Never been to one, but they look fun.

Mom's Treehouse is great, and here is our master list of Mom's groups, this should help, Alexandra Nelson Iwashyna: http://richmondmom.com/2011/12/18/richmond-area-moms-groups-a-go-to-list-for-local-moms-and-dads/

Dr. Lea Mahoney West End OBGYN (all women pratice) she has privileges to St. Mary's but the office is in Henrico Drs

Gets what exactly? ... Anyway.. I use Dr. Sura Edmond at st. Mary's. She was great for me cuz she jist kinda laughed about the whole "birth plan" nonsense... Can't plan shit, just do it was my motto.

Karen Jefferson at st Mary's

Sh, well Dr. Edmond is super down to earth. No a bit of snobbery in her. My mother still comments about how she liked her so much.

I go to Dr Mahoney at West End OBGYN, in Henrico Doctor's. I have a hard time with this area (don't ask) and she makes me feel so comfortable. Really nice woman and I think she get "it" as she is down to earth.

Dr. Erika Royal at VPFW

Dr Jane wisgirda I am not sure on the spelling but she is wonderful. Very straight forward and thorough.

Peter Rosanelli, is wonderful!

Julie Willard Pollard I have an appt with Dr Maraist tomorrow at 9:20! Grateful.

Getting in sooner on your own is a challenge as most places fill up quickly even for established patients. There are always cancellations and of course favor. But Monday is a good turnaround time and usually doc offices calling get better times than patients. A NP at any office could probably see you quickly... Like · Yesterday at 5:27 pm

I see Dr Mahoney, she works with West end OBGYN out of Henrico Doctors Hospital, and she is amazing (though Dr Davis and Dr Dausch there are great too)! I've never seen anyone I didn't like, and I have a lot of issues in that area so I've seen several others to compare them too. They're all very willing to explain and treat you like a person not a chart. And, bonus, most of them are very gentle. The contact number is 804-282-9479 if you're interested!!

I go to stony point medical center. I originally seen dr lucidi for PCOS. But I have seen a couple different doctors there for the annual there. They are nice. The number to the office at stony point. Is (804)5608950.

Dr Schraa at Virginia Womens Center

Try Planned Parenthood. If they don't, they'll know who does.

Flora Wiliams at St. Francis....my personal fav...always treats me right.

Dr Thomas Mead! I'd see him as my pcp if I could!

Greg Moore...started going to him after mine original OBGYN retired....like him as much as my original.

Dr. Kevin Gibbons from UB Neurosurgery is a conservative surgeon who is knowledgeable about Chiari. He did my decompression surgery in 2009 and he was amazing. Dr. Gibbons was part of the team who operated on Buffalo Bills player, Kevin Everett, who was paralyzed from a football injury. Now, Everett is able to walk! I went to Dent Neurology. I don't remember the neurologists name, but he is the one who referred me to Dr. Gibbons.

Hi Brynn, I live in Buffalo and had my decompression with Dr. Gibbons in 2001. I am still followed by him, but am looking elsewhere. He has positive and negatives, I would rather discuss in a private message with more details. I am happy to recommend a number of other doctors to you as well, I love my primary and my neurologist.

Susan Schaffer at Bon Secours at St. Mary's is wonderful!

Henrico Drs. Phys. For Women. Don't know her age but they do not frown on BC but St Mary's does.
