I was sent to Dr. Prillaman when I didn't really know much about OBs -- and I'm so glad my regular doctor sent me to him!
He has 4 children of his own, including a set of twins, so he really knows what it means to love your babies before they're born -- he's patient and gentle and can keep you smiling even when you're nervous or uncomfortable --
When we got into trouble with my twin pregnancy Dr. Prillaman didn't assume he knew everything in the world about high risk pregnancies, instead he did the right thing and sent me to a specialist as well and between the two of them they saved my little girls. I'm so glad to have known a doctor like Dr. Prillaman, he's a wonderful doctor :)

He really gets to know you and cares about your life -- it's been a lovely change after having so many primary care doctors to actually have someone remember you from one visit to the next, care about your family and kids, not just diagnose a small problem and send you on your way -- Dr. Krickovic makes me actually WANT to go to the doctor when I'm sick instead of trying to tough it out, because I know he cares!

When our older cat was deemed "too old" to be treated by most of the other vets in town the Feline Medical Center was the only place that took us seriously about finding her life to be valuable even though she was old. Had we found them sooner I can't say we'd have prolonged her life, but I do think her life would have been healthier during her last years.
We started looking for a good vet when our cat showed signs of having skin cancer at 15, this was considered too old to treat by her regular vet and by a half dozen other vets (although they were all happy to take a fee to tell us that). We found the Feline Medical Center when she was 17, and they took us seriously and put her on some medications to slow the growth of the tumor. Had we found them earlier her cancer might not have spread so obviously. It made our vain little cat very upset to have this blemish on her coat --
She lived to be 18, 3 years with the cancer that no other vets thought she'd live long enough to treat seriously.
I can't recommend these vets highly enough. They love cats and will take your concerns to heart.

Today, I had the pleasure of becoming a new patient with Grove Avenue Eye Center. I have been to three optometrists in my life and I have to say that Dr. Neidgh is EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!!! I so pleased with my visit today that I came to work and referred everyone that I saw wearing glasses. Dr. Neidgh and his patient relations representatives were very personable and pleasant. They made us feel so welcome. My 3 year old was also being seen and they were very patient with her. I know it took a lot to complete an eye exam on a 3 year old. Even though I don't hope for future eye problems, I can't wait to visit with Dr. Neidgh, Jennifer, and Woodie again.
Pros: Parking, Service, Timely

Although Dr. Sharpes is rated in Richmond's top doctors, I have not been happy with his bedside manner, care for my concerns and questions, or if my child has received the type of care I hoped he would receive. He is a good person, but I was not impressed. He seems to be too busy to take quality time to know you as a patient.
Pros: The office is clean and nice and the patient rooms are nice as well.
Cons: The waiting room is croweded and the waiting time is longand your appointment time is always later than what is scheduled for you on the phone. I have taken my children to see Dr. Sharpes several times and so far I have not been highly impressed with the q

More 2 years ago
As a child I'd had good experiences with Pearle Vision, as they were one of the places I'd gotten glasses from when I lived in Colonial Heights. I decided that I could trust one at Midlothian, right? WRONG!
The first visit was ok, since the lady behind the counter was nice & attentive. The store looked a little dirty & gh3tto, but the racks looked nice, orderly, & clean, so I didn't think anything of it. (Should have seen that as the first sign, though.) She showed good judgement in helping me pick out my glasses as far as appearance goes. I paid for everything up front, and all seemed well. I did recieve a call shortly after saying that I'd overpaid, but they were going to issue me a check. While that seemed a little odd, I thought nothing of it. After all, it had been caught & no harm done.
Well, the second visit was when I went to pick up my glasses. The guy put them on me & I could have sworn that they were lopsided. The guy messed with them a little more, a little more, until finally he just stopped. He said nothing about them being lopsided, although it was obvious that he too thought that they were. I wish I'd said something then & there, as I'm ashamed that I walked out that day with glasses I'd spent about $300 on. (I really needed them to see, so I was afraid of not getting them that same day.) Needless to say, others noticed & commented on them.
Now it's about 1- 1/2 yrs later & my glasses are quickly falling apart before my eyes, literally. Everything is falling off! I take great care of my glasses & until they started falling apart they looked brand new. Now due to all of the at home repairs I have to do, they look like I dug them out of the Goodwill bargain bin! I'm honestly afraid to take them back to the store for repairs, since if they'd made them correctly they never would be falling apart now. Instead I'm taking them to the ForEyes down the street in hopes that they'll provide better service.
Pros: some clerks are ok, ok selection
Cons: bad quality, clerks don't ensure quality, grungy store, may overcharge

Dr. Fountain-Ellis is a very personable doctor. She is my primary care doctor. I never have a problem getting an appointment with her. She is thorough and makes great suggestions for referrals. I have not had any problems getting referrals from their office. I bring my kids with me when I have to and she is always happy to see them. I feel like she enjoys her job!

I have had 3 hand surgeries by Dr. Desai. I can say he does a great job. (I hear he does knees too!) I had previously seen other doctors for my trigger finger, but Dr. Desai is the best one I saw! He is very reassuring that he fixed my problem. I was not in any unusual pain. He did not hesitate to recommend me for surgery and each surgery went well. My freedom from pain now is so nice and I am very thankful for Dr. Desai's skillful work.
