I call her Dr. Nice because her last name is that with a southern accent. Ha ha!

Extremely professional and quick!

Apparently after 5p they stop on Friday so I was told at 5:03p come back Saturday 8-2p only to find out that nobody was there to do the test.

She was very personable and thorough. I was there due to shortness of breath and I was checked out thoroughly. Mary Katherine had the Nurse do an EKG and blood work was done. A couple of prescriptions were called in to my Pharmacy and that was it. I highly recommend Mary Katherine and would be happy to see her again if need be.

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.

This place definitely has a 70's feel, with the walls being wooden panels and fluorescent lighting. However that does not deter from the excellent care I always receive here. I came in today to get my physical done for my graduate school requirements. It was not busy and I was in and out in about 30 minutes max. I've also recently switched insurances from Tricare to blue cross blue shield (he takes both!). I am always impressed with the attention to detail Dr. Miranda is and how I don't feel rushed like I do with other doctors. Overall, he's been my family's main family doctor in the VA beach area for a reason!

I was told by the office manager, Emily, that it is the policy of Blackwood Family Medicine to not accept medicaid patients at certain times or to see said patients even if they have other insurances in addition to medicaid. This was after the front desk girl told me it was illegal for them not to run both. The office as a whole also is incapable of getting prescriptions correct or sending any kind of paperwork to literally anyone. Honestly you would be better off asking a homeless person to do your paperwork than these ladies.
