I have had a lot of surgeries due to a somewhat rare condition called Elos Danlos. This last…read moresurgery i had on February 20th, just 3 days before my 55th birthday was starting to make me anxious. It was my neck, C3,C4,C5 and C4 was compromising my spinal column. Dangerously uncomfortable and scary so close to my brain, etc. So, i asked the surgeon, which is one of the best on the east coast, "if it were you, who would you trust to operate on you in such a dangerous placement?" He gave me Dr. Ordonez's phone number. It took some time to get an appt, and tests and other things to get ready. Considering all the different autoimmune disorders that i have, including clotting disorders, where my blood clots in less than 26 sec. I was afraid. That is an understatement. But, i did it, i had too, without a doubt or i would have ended up sufdering a fate worse than death if i hadnt. I am very glad that i did, and i am very thankful to Dr. Ordonez and his staff and to chesapeake regional hospital for the great care that i received. If you are in pain on a daily basis and it can be lessened by a neurosurgeon that is skilled and knowledgeable, youll want to see Dr. Joe. I owe him a great deal of thanks and i am truely grateful for the whole team. I suffer horribly on a 24 hour clock, but even though it has only been since 2/20/26, and today is 3/3/26, the amount of pain that i was in, has been lessened by about 60% or more because Dr. Ordonez and his grate skilled staff and hospital have been a true blessing. I have several more sureries to go before i am able to stand upright again, before i can take a step without horrible pain, but i trust that with God and the skills that Dr. Ordonez has aquired, with Gods help, i will have that again in the forseable future. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR ALL THAT YOU DO ON A DAILY BASIS. I AM TRULY GRATEFUL AND I FEEL SO BLESSED THAT I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO PLAY AND ENJOY AND WATCH MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND MY CHILDREN AS THEY CONTINUE IN THEIR LIVES AS WELL.

After getting upset they allowed me to stay and be seen by the Dr (same one I was going to see to begin with..they wanted me to see the ligament dr specifically but I would have had to wait even longer) just so I could get an MRI referral. Dr. Pinkos told me I didnt have to use my crutches or brace...that he doubted I had anything severe wrong. Turns out I have completely severed ACL and bone bruising...had I listened to him I could have injured my self even more! The receptionist was horribly rude to me as I was having severe anxiety because of my pain. Go somewhere else. The nurses were the only one that cared. I have an injured shoulder as well, that I was sent with a referral for too.. and they didn't even ask about that!

Located behind the Chesapeake Medical Regional Center Hospital. Signage is excellent for the building. They have a surface lot that seems adequate. Be mindful of physician parking, there are signs. The lot was tidy. In the front they have a covered pull through for drop off. Appointments were handled in a timely fashion. Specialist are well known for taking months, maybe I was lucky in securing a date in two weeks. They utilize electronic reminders on email and text. The lobby walk in clean as I entered. However, it is noticeably dated. The elevator operated and I took it to the second floor. The doctors waiting room had adequate seating and was tidy. Check-in efficient and wait short to first see nurse than Dr. Snider. Great exam and the doctors bed side manner fantastic! Both visits were consistently great on efficiency. I would recommend this office.

Sentara Hand Surgery's Chesapeake location is in the Sentara Careplex, a campus consisting of two…read morebuilding with various practices, on the east side of Volvo Parkway not too far south of its intersection with Greenbrier Parkway. Sentara Hand Surgery is on the 2nd floor of the first building if approaching from the north. It's not the most convenient location for me. But it's the only place my Foot Surgeon & my friend's Hand Surgeon practice. The practices share a lobby, along with Sentara Vascular Center. The office staff is friendly & helpful. The waiting room is large and clean. Parking is plentiful with numerous handicapped spaces near the front entrance. My friend sees Dr. Shah & recently had hand surgery. Being the caregiver I was amazed at the timing of the recovery & the healing process. The problem was completely corrected. A few months later there's no scar. You would never know that she had a recent surgery. Since the second surgery was to be much more extensive, I went in with her for the appointment. Dr. Shah seemed extremely knowledgeable and is said to be the area expert in her type of surgery. He examined her hand to locate what another doctor had thought was a lump & was very concerned about. He proclaimed it to be a simple bone spur, which needed no surgical removal. Dr. Shah's PA had previously administered a cortisone shot in the area of the 3rd problem. The shot completely corrected the problem, requiring no need for complex surgery. Dr. Shah indicated the surgery would be identical to the previous, requiring only a short recovery. I was very impressed by the knowledge of Dr. Shah, including his not pushing unnecessary procedures to be performed. He also eased the mind of my friend. Should I ever require hand surgery I would certainly choose Dr. Shah.

I have had horrible choking nights awaking coughing or gagging. Awaking with nagging headaches. Due to my career, I have always woken up at about 3 or 4 am, depending on my shift. So n bed my 9 sometimes 10pm with a quick nap during the daytime. I received a referral from my PCP, which led me to the Virginia Neurology sleep specialist. My Dr. I was very informative and thorough. Enlightening me on the dangers of improper sleep and what it could cause. I appreciated the call from the office to schedule my appointments; I honestly would have let it go until the next episode. My appt was made . I was asked for my information again, which was already on the referral. This annoyed me a bit since I have Tricare and carried an insurance verification card. I use this with all of my civilian Dr's. On my breast cancer journey, recovery takes you to many appts. I can only attribute this to their scheduling or methods of billing, which I assume is not an up-to-date system. The office is conveniently located to work and home. I walked to my first appt during the day, taking time from work. True, the Chesapeake office is very much outdated and could use a complete renovation. They receptionists were friendly, greeting me upon arrival. I quickly realized this was also the lady who called me to make the appt. Once checked in, I had to apologize to her for questioning her asking for the above, which I'm still not really okay with. Anywhoo, last night was my actual sleep study at their sleep lab. Hubby has had 2 in lab studies done and my BFF also. So I kind of know what to expect. Upon arrival at 8:30, I was greeted by a nice gentleman who led me and another patient up to their lab. It was super clean and well lit. The cool air was super delightful. I was allowed to bring my pillows and blankets. I showered just before leaving home and arrived in my most comfortable PJ'S! I was not allowed to nap during the day, so basically, after work, I ran to the mall, shopped a bit, came home, and made dinner, still just sitting to eat. I brushed my teeth, grabbed my stuff, and went to this location. As I sat down on the bed, SLEEP rushed in. Next, a lady technician arrived.. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I WAS TO SEE HER! TMI. But, after many surgeries and reconstruction, things are just a little different now. My plastic surgeon is an amazing and talented Dr, FACTS! Soooo my lady tech, I believe her name is Adrian. Please forgive me if I'm totally incorrect; I was really professional and knowledgeable about what she was about wiring me up for this to work. She kept her mask on the entire time. All those leads, she cleaned my skin and hair and pasted me so quickly and confidently. She explained each step as she worked, which calmed me down for a good rest and procedure. She checked on me after she checked the connections in their monitors' room. I was allowed to watch TV for a bit, then decided to turn it off to rest. I'm forgot to take a picture of the nice bedroom. Nerves got the best of me. Most of the night, I tossed and turned, intimated by the leads. I did sleep but not a deep sleep. I walked out of this facility by 6am, ready for coffee. All in all, this is a great place to start if you are having sleeping issues. My follow-up is in a few weeks.

I have been seeing Dr. AJ Barot since 2015 (it's May, 2022) for sleep apnea. I started at Sentara…read moreNorfolk back then, but didn't like some of the things being done so I switched to VA Neurology and Sleep Center. Dr. Barot and his team have been fantastic, so much so that I my mother, my sister, and my sister's daughter have all been there as well.   And last night, my 7 year old BIPAP Resmed machine stopped working in the middle of the night. I was very concerned about not having a working machine in time, so I contacted Dr. Barot who was actually on vacation, and he made sure his team (Alex and Lois) were able to action immediately to help ensure something was found.  I was able to get a replacement BIPAP machine this afternoon, even with the supply chain issues currently impacting supply.  All because Dr. Barot cares about his patients.   Excellent doctor, I give him my highest recommendation.
