Two years ago I suffered from dry eyes due to contact lense wearing and the annoyances of not being able to see without jthem. Today, thanks to Supralase, I can see 20/20 and don't have to worry about feeling that dry eye feeling since Supralase doesn't cut your tear nerves like flap procedures (Lasik and Intralase). When I heard that I was sold on a procedure that wouldn't just fix one problem but create another but that would fix my vision without complications down the road.
I had the procedure Friday at 2:00pm and could see well enough to be at work by 7:00am Monday morning.

I have been coming to DPA for years. While they are a busy office, I don't find my experience here different from other top practices in the area. They have made definite improvements over the last year. The phones are being answered more promptly, the front desk is very helpful and they even gave the waiting room a makeover!
Pros: Attentive staff and providers
Cons: busy office, parking

We have been going to VBPC for 18 years. They have early hours for walk-ins without an appointment. This has been a tremendious help because of my work schedule. The staff is friendly and cooperative. I can call in the morning and have an appointment that same morning. I know at other pediatricians a sick child can wait hours to see the doctor. The most we have ever waited is 15 minutes and the doctor and nurse apoligized for the delay. My child had frequent ear infections and they were treated promtly, even when my doctor was out of the office. The office and doctor have called my house to check on my kids after they have been ill. Where else can you get that type of caring.! They are the best!

No one wants a root canal. But when I needed an emergency root canal 2 months before my wedding, my dentist sent me to Dr. Chau. I have never been more thankful.
My root canal was needed in one of the support teeth for my bridgework, so it was a touchy procedure for me. I had been taking every pain killer I could for 2 weeks, never realizing what was wrong, and when he finally gave me the first of FOUR novicaine shots I got the first relief since the pain began.
He gave me the medication and time to relax while finishing up with another patient. By the time he came back, I had fallen asleep in the chair. He was very gentle and asked me several times if I could still feel (I'd had 3 shots at that point). When I said I could feel pressure and a bit of stinging he gave me a fourth shot right in the root.
At my checkup, he said it looked fine and that the bridge would continue to hold even after the root canal.
I hated that I needed a root canal, but I am very glad Dr. Chau was the one who did it. I would recommend him to anyone.

Our first child was born at Sentara Bayside Hospital. I loved the fact that my husband was able to stay the night with me and our newborn. Now that I've given birth in 2 other hospitals, I must say that Sentara Bayside Hospital has the best afterbirth rooms. The rooms are furnished with a fold out couch in which your husband/significant other/friend/parent could spend the night while helping you care for the newborn. Being a mother for the first time, this was a huge help.
The only complaint I had was that a nurse knowingly sent me our baby with soiled diapers. I was glad that I read a lot of books for information about prepregnancy, baby's birth, and postpregnancy because I was unsure of why our baby's stool (meconium) was "strange"--- it was sticky and dark. I guess I wished that she was as caring as other nurses were... in a sense that they're willing to explain things to you if you had a question instead of just leaving the room right away. Otherwise, a great hospital full of friendly doctors and nurses!

My husband had his vision corrected through this location. We were very impressed with the service, and his vision is now better than perfect. The prices were reasonable, and they explained everything in detail of the procedure. The doctor himself called my husband the next day to check on him, which I thought was a wonderful touch. Upon our recommendation, my best friend also chose to have her correction done here, and co-managed on the Eastern Shore, and she to have a wonderful experience. If you are thinking about having corrective surgery, it is definitely worth checking this business out.

Been going here for years. He is very nice AND very thorough. His prices seem a little high for the frames, but the exam is reasonable and they give you a good one. He takes time to talk to you and you don't feel like he's rushing to get you out and on to the next one. His staff isn't the friendliest, kind of stuffed shirt people, but you don't spend that much time with them to give him up as a good optometrist..
PROS: Friendly, thorough
CONS: Not the friendliest staff

My husband has worn glasses all his life and has dreamed of Lasik since they invented it. We knew that it was going to be expensive, but they offered us a free consultation to make sure they could help him. Everyone was so nice and they even recommeneded certain insurance agencies to help us out with payments. He hasn't gotten it done yet, but I will surely update when he does. Excellant eye center and a beautiful building that is easy to get to and plenty of parking.
