The waiting area is large and comfortable. the last time I went, we drove up to a platoon of First Atlantic Restoration vans. We learned that there had been a bad water leak. All outpatients were being sent to the nearby Brock Cancer Center. Lab & Check in personnel from Leigh had also been moved over to the detour location. When we drove up yesterday the front doors were blocked. There was a large sign pointed south that read entrance. We drove around the building and found no entrance. On the way back a person was walking down the sidewalk. She pointed us to the one door that could be entered. It was obstructed from easy view by the large entrance detour sign. Walking in I found so much completely different. One was first sent through security, which had never been in the lobby of Leigh. My purse was searched before I went through a scanner. The front area, which was previously a nice large entrance and desk, was now covered in plywood. The employees have always been nice and friendly. I was called back into the lab just as I finished registration. My regular bloodwork was done quickly and I prepared to leave. Sitting down in the main lobby I texted my ride that I was done. Of course I took a few pictures. When I picked up my purse I glanced at my arm. Blood was pouring out from the bandaid that covered what is normally just a needle prick. It was all over my arm, hand and shirt. Stunned, I finally moved when the really nice Security guy told me I'd better go back to the lab, Returning to the checkin area I asked if they could buzz me back in. They also stood there stunned before one asked if I had just had lab work done. When I affirmed they finally took action. The same person who drew my blood cleaned me up & used a big wrap around bandage on my arm. She said she had thought it would be fine. I really expected more of an apology. Thinking back I did remember that she had the drawer open a little longer than usual deciding what to use. Did she use the wrong size needle? Now I'm a little worried about the level of staff experience, which I've always counted on before. Even though the bandage was tight I was afraid to take it off until last night. I'm a regular at bloodwork and IV's. I have absolutely no problem with needles or having blood drawn. But today the inside of my arm looks like someone slit it with a knife. There's at least a one inch line where there should be an almost imperceptible prick or some bruising. I'm really debating as to whether I should change my preference for lab work.

DO NOT... I REPEAT DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS DOCTOR!!!!!…read more Chances are you are looking into going to Dr. Parker's treatment center because you are at wit's end and incredibly ill. As with most (including myself) that are unfortunately in this predicament, you probably have exhausted all financial means including yours and your loved ones to find the solution to your health issues. After seeing a slew of experts from Neurologists, Cardiologists, to Endocrinologists, I knew my last effort was to try an alternative school of thought. I went to this treatment center hoping to find an answer to why my health was spiraling out of control and declining at a rapid rate. I had severe neurological issues (ranging from loss of memory, stuttering, to horrific neuropathy pain). With an exorbitant price tag of $30,000 and 3 months of IVs (8 hours a day/3 times a week), testing, injections, supplements, and prescriptions... they diagnosed me with a Degenerative Neurological Disease, Fibromyalgia, and Peripheral Neuropathy. Shortly after leaving the center, my health declined very rapidly indicating that their "treatment" was only keeping me afloat and not getting to the root of the issue. Dr. Lambert Titus Parker and Integrative Longevity Institute of Virginia elongated my recovery because he had not done necessary testing which would have alerted them/me to the underlying issues to my severe neurological issues: MERCURY POISIONING. Bottom line: I had an acute case of mercury poisoning. Dr. Parker never checked for mercury poisoning even though he claims to specialize in the treatment of metal toxicity and chelation. (Mercury Poisoning can be discovered with a relatively simple blood test). Due to excessive IV therapy with caustic fluids and not using proper protocol, my veins are now sclerosed and destroyed. He caused undo suffering, pain, loss of work, and potential permanent damage. He charged exorbitant amounts and did not provide proper care or attention. I hardly even got to speak to Dr. Parker about my care. I was given second hand evaluations via the Medical Director (and was billed the $400 hourly rate of Dr. Parker) HE CHELATED ME WITH A POISON SOURCE IN MY MOUTH...HENCE DOING MUCH MUCH MORE DAMAGE! A physician's number one duty is to find the source of one's illness. NOT BANDAID IT with months of IVs, injections, supplements, and prescriptions. This was poor sloppy treatment and is a disgraceful representation of other integrative doctors. If you are reading this message please, please don't go to this center. There are many other doctors out there that can and want to help you.

Leigh Orthopedic Surgery Center is a new addition to the ever expanding Sentara Leigh campus. They…read more& the new Brock Cancer Center are located on the southeast corner of Virginia Beach Boulevard & Kempsville Road. Both share a large parking garage. Entrance with a traffic light is located both on Virginia Beach Boulevard, which the buildings face, & Kempsville Road. The location is also easily accessible from I-264. The handicapped parking is extremely convenient & plentiful at the Leigh Orthopedic Surgery Center. The spaces face the entrance & continues around each side of the building. I've never had to park in the spaces that require a short walk. A covered circular drive thru is a convenient drop off point at the main entrance. No valet parking is available. I've had therapy at Sentara Hand Therapy & Sentara Therapy Center- Orthopedics & Sports Medicine. I've had MRI's at the Advanced Imaging Center. My Shoulder & Elbow Orthopedic Surgeon does outpatient surgery in the building. But my recent Elbow Surgery, although outpatient, was scheduled at the hospital itself. The practice requires anyone who has a Cardiologist to have surgery at the hospital, where emergency personnel are more easily accessible. My experience with both therapy & the MRIs has been excellent. The equipment & facility is state of the art in this excellent sparkling clean Medical Center. Technology is sophisticated, extending as far as doors being opened by a sensor activated by the wave of a palm. There are also hand sanitizer stations in plentiful supply in the building. I'm very impressed by the Leigh Orthopedic Surgery Center. It's now my location of choice for both Physical Therapy & Advanced Imaging,

The ER was extremely busy on a Saturday night with many Trauma Alerts but they still had the time to be kind and attentive. She was moved to the ER holding area for the last 12 hours where once again the staff was excellent. Once moved to her Cardiac room the care continued to be excellent. I only wish that this would allow a 10. Special recognition for the Cardiac Care Unit, Cardiac Cath Lab, the hospitalists, social services, pharmacy and her cardiologist. After being in health care over 50 years I feel that this hospital represents and is a showcase for how health care should be delivered.

I'm sorry to have to downgrade my review for this practice. My last appointment with the doctor…read morewas extremely puzzling. At a previous appointment he insisted that I stop a medication he felt was significantly contributing to my electrolyte imbalance. I asked if I could just stop or needed to taper off. He said to just stop. This bothered me. So I researched it & confirmed both that it could cause electrolyte problems & that you couldn't stop "cold turkey". I contacted my PCP, who gave me the proper instructions & lower dosage to taper off. When I went back for my followup visit I was excited to report that I had stopped taking the offending medicine & had worked really hard to limit my water intake. He would hardly let me talk. He acted like a completely different man, not seeming to want to listen to the fact that I had followed his instructions to stop the medication & to drink less water. I'm not sure he had even checked the bloodwork & other testing that he had ordered. He just waved the results of the urinalysis that had just done in his office at me. He said "There's nothing wrong with you. You just drink too much water,". He indicated that he was dismissing me & had once sent a patient to a psychiatrist for drinking too much water. Needless to say I was shocked at his behavior. I asked if he would send a report to my Cardiologist, who had referred me there for the continuing electrolyte imbalance. That must not have happened. At my next Cardiology appointment they thought the Nephrologist was still in charge of the monitoring. I don't know whether he was just having a bad day. But I do know that I'll never go back to that provider.
