Allergy & Asthma Specialists Ltd. is located at the corner of First Colonial Rd. and Old Donation…read morePkwy. in Virginia Beach. This is in the Professional Center East Business Area. It is basically across the street from Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital. My most recent visit here was on August 4, 2026. The outside of the place looks like most other medical practices in the area. The building is one story. On all the visits I have been here, I have not had any issues with parking availability, even when it was at a busier time. Be careful when entering and exiting from the door facing First Colonial Rd. as there is a big step to come in and out of there. Once inside, there was a good amount of seating available, though it can be tight when it's busy in there. The visits are for both office visits and shots only visits. After asking for an allergy specialist referral from my PCP, I was referred to this place. My first visit here was on April 16, 2026. The front desk isn't hard to find when you come in. The left window is for checking into getting shots only and the right window is for those that are coming in for an office visit. Overall, my interactions with the staff overall have been excellent. The doctor that I was assigned here and am currently seeing to this day is Dr. Craig Koenig. The only thing I knew about allergies were that they have been bad for me quite a while, which is why I was calling it hell-ergies. On every office visit, you'll have to fill out a general info questionnaire. The first visit will also entail the general med checks, such as weight and blood pressure. After that, it was time to go to a patient room and meet the doctor. The encounter with Dr. Koenig was great. As a part of the first visit, I did take the full allergy testing, which would help down the line knowing what my allergies were, and they were known that same day. After that was done, he went over the process for allergy shots. There were a few options. The first one is the traditional once a week shot to get to the maintenance level, which can take up to 30 weeks or so or go with the rush immunotherapy, where multiple shots are done at a time to get to the maintenance level faster. In the end, I decided to go with the rush immunotherapy. Since there could be issues with rush (clustering) immunotherapy, I was prescribed Epipens in case it is needed. About a month later in May, the immunotherapy clustering process began. Since it's the clustering, it is part of an office visit rather than just a visit for shots. The process would be to have 8 to 12 shots at a time with each clustering visit. They would be spaced out to two shots every 30 minutes. These would occur a week apart. Up until the fourth time, I had no major reactions to the shots. On that fourth round of updosing, I started breaking out in hives and was turning red. They did inject epinephrine a few times to get it under control, but I did not experience any anaphylaxis. I was there for about six hours or so, but everything was done well with care and concern too. There was a definite genuine concern for my health when the outbreak happened. This is what makes this a great place for allergy shots. After this incident, we went to single weekly shots, but it only took six weeks to make it to maintenance level after that, so it was still much faster than doing it once a week. Since being on the maintenance dosing, I haven't had any issues or reactions except for the usual rash for about a day after the shots. I've noticed the after effects have been less with each shot now, and hopefully it stays that way. I'll be back in October 2026 for a follow up after having the shots now for several months. One thing to note is that some days the wait for the shots can be longer as the ones administering the shots are the nurses also working the office visit appointments too. Overall, I have had great experiences here with all of the staff and the process of getting the shots. I have felt the immediate relief too. I used to clog up in the nose when going outside, but that has not been the case since being on the allergy shots. If you're looking for a place for allergy shots or testing, this place is worth coming to.

Sentara Independence is no longer a hospital with beds for hospitalizations. The former hospital…read morenow has an Emergency Room, Imaging Center, Laboratory Services and Sleep Center. I'm not sure what the area that contained the hospital rooms is currently used for. Sentara Independence is the partner "hospital" with Sentara Virgins Beach General. Patients treated at the Emergency Room who require hospitalization are transported to Beach General as soon as a room is available. The system works well for those of us who live in Bayside. The Emergency Room is far less crowded and easier to navigate through than the larger hospitals. Complete testing and imaging can be done to determine whether the patient requires hospital. I've had many experiences with this hospital's different departments, both for myself, my late husband and uncle and my roommate. All have been excellent. It's sad the Bayside no longer has a full service hospital, losing its beds in favor of building Sentara Princess Anne Hospital on the south side of town. But the current system is working.

Evan M Rekant, MD provided me with the "Worst" experience I have ever had at this location. I've…read morebeen suffering from stomach aches, shortness of breath and a headache since Saturday. I went in for help because its been getting worse. Evan M Rekant, MD could not care less about my issues. I've been in the military for 8 years. I work very long hours and at times unpredictable. I worked all day and then went to Sentara after I got off. I have to be up tomorrow at 04, to be at work at 05. I asked for a "no work note" so I could sleep in. Mr Evan M Rekant, MD begins raising his voice at me in front of his coworkers. Basically chastising me about not going to work. He was being obnoxious, loud and rude to me. I was there a couple of days ago for the same problem. It has to be said that if the problem gets worse, they tell you to come back. Thats what I did and for that I got the worst service I have ever gotten in my life from any medical "professional". He kept asking me about my job and never mentioned my shortness of breath or my stomach pain. I understand the ER is for certain situations but how I was treated to day was abhorrent. Also, military medical is not as good as civilian and I live only 10 min away from this location, so its a lot more convenient. Also, the people are usually very friendly, professional and fast acting. Also, want to point out that military medical at times could take you about a month to get seen for a problem. Even if i go to the ER in portsmouth the wait times are sometimes 2 or more hours to get seen. On top of that they dont usually give "no work notes" because many people lie about things to get out of work. Nevertheless my experience today was very negative. Evan M Rekant definitely has anger issues and I wouldn't trust him as care professional. Other than Evan, this place and people do amazing work.

These businesses are popping up in big cities all over the US and is playing a new role in primary care. Basically, patients pay a yearly fee to have access to these doctors 24 hours day, 7 days a week. You get a secret after hours number that you can call on weekends to ask questions or request prescriptions. They will come visit you in the Norfolk General Hospital if you ever become an inpatient. You get at least 30 min for an appointment which you can schedule the same day. During the day, you can contact the doctor through email or phone. When you come through the door, you know you're getting quality care. The view from the top floor is breathtaking. You are immediately greeted and given a beverage. Parking is free with validation. Each doctor has their own nurse. The blood draw clinic is in the same building and they come to you. CT/MRI are nearby and the doctor gets back to you immediately! As with all doctor clinics, you have to find a doctor that matches your needs/personality. This group has several of them, each unique in their approach to patient care. I highly advise interviewing with more than one doctor before choosing one to settle on.

Bon Secours has been my go to for ER care when needed. I recently visited Bon Secours Health…read moreMedical Center in Harbourview, Suffolk, Va. and was very disappointed with the lack of patient privacy during my visit. Due to ongoing renovations, patients were seated and treated in the hallway. While I understand that construction can create challenges, there was little to no effort made to maintain confidentiality. Doctors were openly discussing patients' medical conditions, concerns, and treatment plans within clear earshot of others. Sensitive health information should not be easily overheard in a public hallway setting. Is it not important that healthcare facilities have a responsibility to protect patient privacy, even during renovations. I hope the administration addresses this issue promptly to ensure patients feel safe, respected, and protected when receiving care.
