Innovation Cardiology

I've been seeing Dr. Robertson or his PA since my wonderful Pulmonologist, who works closely with…read morehim, convinced him to do a Heart Cath with exercise. My Pulmonologist was convinced my shortness of breath was more severe than it should be with my ILD. I've been with the practice since. The practice is located in the Fort Norfolk Medical Building in the portion of Sentara Norfolk General's complex that is located on the south side of Brambleton opposite the main hospital campus. The location is perfect for patients coming from the north side of Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth & the northern part of Suffolk. The building is one I love because of its attached parking garage. Parking is so easy even if the handicapped spots are full. It's also picturesque since there's a beautiful view of the Elizabeth River from the deck. Walk straight into a glass enclosed area where the elevators & seating is located. The building even has a Sentara Advanced Imaging Center. So Cardiology can send me straight up a floor if they order Bloodwork. The knowledge & care of Dr. Robertson & my current PA are extensive. I feel well cared for. The office staff is pleasant & helping. A downside is difficulty in appointment availability, which currently appears to be the case with all the good Sentara physicians. There is an issue with messaging through MyChart being screened before (or if) being sent to my Cardiologist or PA. The current screening person, as did the last, answers with her own opinions (not knowing my history) without sending messages to my PA on updates that the PA wanted. This is a big problem. I've told my PA, who instructed her that my messages to be sent to her. But it still isn't happening. That said, the Sentara Cardiologist department is the practice of choice for those of us who have multiple, sometimes conflicting, issues.

I am so happy I found this Pulmonologist! After having several different Pulmonologists in…read moreVirginia since my problems were diagnosed by NYU Langone Brooklyn, I never found one that was thorough. Researching is a skill I developed in grad school. So I put that skill to work finding a new Pulmonologist. I then referred myself. It was important that I find one who was also a Sleep Specialist, since I was having very scary breathing problems at night. Devoting a time period to this project, I found Dr. Anthony Quaranta with Sentara Pulmonology & Critical Care. Boy, did I find a gem!!! Dr. Quaranta first ordered a new Chest CatScan. Then after seeing a significant difference since 2019, a barrage of testing. I was impressed that he was checking everything that could contribute to to the problem. He also ordered a Sleep Study. More about that in reviews specific to those locations. Bottom line is that he's still sending me for more procedures. I now sleep with a high tech CPAP machine which has stopped the scary stuff. And I told him he could never retire. This doctor is fabulous! The practice provides the Pulmonology Care for Sentara Norfolk General. So scheduling appointments is sometimes hard. But Dr. Quaranta communicates with me on the Sentara App, including his explanation of test results. If you don't have the App it's a "Must Have". You can see Test Results as soon as they are available. And much, much more..... The location, in the Sentara Heart Hospital, is terrific. There is free Valet Parking, which is essential for someone with breathing problems. There is also an entrance in the Heart Hospital to their dedicated parking deck. Sentara Heart Hospital is behind Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, which is easily accessible for all of Southside Coastal Virginia, off Brambleton Avenue. This practice is one that I would highly recommend.

He consistently called to get the results but was continuously told that the doctor would look at the test results soon and get back to him. My father finally went and saw another cardiologist who scheduled him for immediate valve replacement. Dr. Griffin's nurse finally called back a few days ago and told him that he was good and didn't need to be seen for six months. I am currently sitting in Sentara Heart Hospital in Norfolk, VA where my father had a valve replacement and a double bypass. If my father had listened and waited for Dr. Griffin, he would be six feet under. Great doctor.

His responses assure me that he cares about me and he is open to my holistic point of view. I like to try lifestyle changes before I start taking pharmaceutical solutions. I like his suggestion for exercise I might actually do. Haha! He helped me regulate my BP and avoid taking meds for life. His demeanor is very calming and very uplifting. He does not talk down to you he speaks to you and takes time to make sure you really understand what he is recommending to improve your health. Yup he encourages me to improve my lifestyle without making me feel inferior. I think his approach to introducing possible lifestyle changes to consider is the reason I enjoy coming to see him wherever he is working. The staff at this location are amazing. I enjoy talking to them and they are so kind. Everyone in this office should be commended for their positive attitude. I have been to both of his offices. Today I made it out without adding meds but I have to check in with him occasionally. I know if I don't they will call me. I need the push.

It is raining but the picture is meant to show the office location. The building has a nice size parking lot and a patient drop off area.

It took over a week for them to send a referral (after I'd called FOUR times). Now the dr they've referred me to needs two weeks to "review" my file before they can even schedule me. I'll be out of meds by then, but that seems to be of no concern to anyone but me. The doctors care about their patients. No one else there does. I'm currently looking for a new doctor, not because I dislike the doctor I have, but because of how poorly every other aspect of the practice is handled. I would NEVER recommend EVMS to anyone. Ever.
