After research, I saw Dr Bester and that my insurance (OptimaHealth) was accepted. Absolutely love my doctor and the nurses who work with her. Everyone is easygoing but looking out for your best interest. For example, I came for a simple prescription refill and during the routine check up she realized how much wax build up I had and offered to flush them out. Never heard of it before but they ensured me everything would be alright! And it was, definitely glad I got it done. Had an appointment at 7:40am on a Monday and was seen at my correct time. Not a long wait for the doctor and everything went smoothly. Everyone at this location are truly kind to include receptionists.

I recently switched to Dr. Riedler from another office because I felt as though my voice was not…read morebeing heard. Not everyone is a cookie cutter patient and none should be treated like that even if they were. I explained my concerns to the receptionist the first time I called. She (can't remember her name, blonde woman in the office with a sweet Southern twang) is the reason I initially felt comfortable making an appointment. She was not in a hurry to get me off of the phone and she did everything she could to make the appointment soon and as convenient for me as possible. Dr. Riedler was the only one available as soon as I needed to get in. Initially she was not the doctor that I intended to see, but it takes six months to get into him so I opted for Dr. Riedler. My reason for not intending to see her was because someone had referred me to the other doc, not for any other reason. I just wanted to go to someone that had a good experience with a doctor. I figured I could always switch if I needed to. That didn't end up being the case. My first visit with Dr. Riedler was quite impressive. She took the time to listen to ALL of my concerns. She didn't rush through and seemed genuinely concerned about making sure that I had all of my concerns addressed. She didn't talk down to me and understood my stance on some issues. Dr. Riedler not only took a great deal of time with me, but she ordered a battery of tests to see what was going on with me. She is extremely thorough. She sits down with the test results and not only tells you what they are but shows you. She highlights any areas of concerns and writes suggestions for trying to correct those issues. She doesn't skim through the results. When she is sure that you understand everything and have no more questions, she makes her way to the next patient. Check out is quick and easy. If possible, they set up the next appointment for you when you are making your co-pay and you get a text almost immediately for reference.

My partner has a form of myofascial pain and has bounced around from doctor to doctor. It's amazing to me how many doctors treat these patients poorly often getting overtly frustrated with their patient when they can't find a way to lessen the symptoms. Dr. Warth on the other hand was empathetic and actually is willing to put out effort and time to find the best way to relieve the awful symptoms when there is no cure. He takes the time to call and talk to you thoroughly about the medication schedule and will answer telephone calls, emails and text messages promptly. If you're looking for a good doctor to help manage a complex disease, Dr Warth is the doctor for you.

After 2 calls - no one ever bothered to call back - even to tell me "we don't do that" or "we're too busy." So I'm going to find someone else - somewhere different.

After trying out the Dedicated Care Center and realizing that some of the doctors there had too…read morehigh of a patient load, we decided to go with this new concierge practice that opened up here in Virginia Beach. This practice is no where near as large as the other in Norfolk. It consists of 2 doctors: Dr. Warth and Dr. Parks. They told us from the beginning that they only plan to have about 200 patients each which will allow them plenty of time to look after each and every person. They offer everything that you would expect of a concierge practice. Their staff is nice and always greets you by name. They aren't as "fancy" as the one in Norfolk, but I strongly believe that they offer better care.

I have been going to Dr. Asuncion for about 30 years or so and cannot say enough about his kindness…read moreand compassion for his patients. I hope I never have to find another PCP because no one in my opinion could replace him.

Is it a natural part of the passage of life when you review more medical practices than night…read moreclubs? Sigh.... If you want a doctor who is not just knowledgable & caring, but also has a fabulous dry wit sense of humor, then Dr. Christopher Asuncion is your man. His "one liners" make going to the doctor a much more relaxed experience. My using Dr. A as a Primary Physician began years ago when my internist retired. A number of people at work went to a large, well established group in the Beach General corridor. So that's the practice I chose. Gradually everyone at work gravitated to Dr. A, a member of that practice at the time. When he left to found Mid-Atlantic Family Medicine, we all followed him. Dr. Asuncion isn't the type of Doctor you feel is rushing you out of the exam room. He will listen to your ailments & symptoms as long as you want to talk. And he remembers not just your medical conditions but also your family, interests & activities. Whenever I have one of my semi-regular sinus infections he will make sure that his staff works me into his always full schedule. And he will do his best to knock it out in the shortest time possible, especially if I have an important upcoming activity planned. It's quite humorous when he walks in the room & the first thing he says is "Got it again?" His decisions regarding whether you should be referred to a specialist for a newly diagnosed condition are prompt & correct. I've always been very happy with his specialist choices. An on-site lab technician eliminates the hassle of having to go to a hospital for blood work. Electronic transmission of prescriptions eliminates the need to carry a script to the pharmacy & make a return trip to pick it up, Access to the doctor is extremely easy. He is available by email, either responding by email or having his nurse or the office staff call. All are responsive & pleasant. The only down side to a one man family medicine practice is that he does need vacations & time off. His PA handles the chores in his absence. But of course I prefer Dr. A. The office is located in the Bon Secours Medical Building off South Plaza Trail, just north of Princess Anne Road. Both the building and the office convey the feelings of new, nicely decorated, clean & well lit. The spacious glass walls offer one an outside view that makes waiting in an exam room much more acceptable that four closed in walls. And the exam rooms are a nice size, rather than claustrophobic. Parking is plentiful and laid out so that it's always an extremely short walk to the entrance. Regular parking spaces are just as convenient as the handicapped slots. There is a covered drive-thru at the entrance, so one can drive an elderly or infirm patient directly to the door. Wheel chairs are available in the building lobby for their further use. Walk into the door at Mid-Atlantic Family Medicine and you are greeted pleasantly by your name. (Does this mean I go to the doctor too often?) It's a much more pleasant experience than the check-in ogre's at some medical practices who give one the feeling that you are interfering with their day. There must be a check-in ogre school, since so many have the same technique. Now I'm thinking of the one liner Dr. A would come up with if he read this review. I'm pretty certain I know exactly what it would be. So I'll just close on a serious note. Thank you for taking care of us Dr. A. You are very much appreciated.
