Because I don't want anyone to miss out on Excellent and knowledgeable Service…read more I'm writing another review about my most recent visit. I knew what I experienced on my last visit wasn't intentional and It felt very reassuring that my feelings were acknowledged. Thank you Dr. BERKLE In all honesty, I wanted to return because there's great care there. I won't let one mishap define my Dr/ patient relationship, more importantly, I don't want someone to miss out on excellent care because of my previous review. Virginia Women's Center is a great place.

Rachel, the mammogram technician was rude, snarky, disrespectful, and when I decided that after she…read morehad brought me to tears that I was just going to leave, and not have the mammogram done that day, she told me I was just 'being dramatic'. I had some anxiety going into the appointment because it was my first mammogram after having had 3 masses discovered at my last mammogram and having to have surgery. I would have appreciated a little empathy or compassion, and I was only met with disrespect and ridicule. I left in tears and when I asked at the front desk if there was anyone I could speak with, I was told there was no one available. Very unprofessional and all I can say is if I ever see Rachel outside of that clinic, she will find out what being dramatic really means. I have heard that the Short Pump location is much better, but I am not sure I want to try any of the VWC locations.

**Ladies, You Have Options!**…read more I want to take a moment to share my experience with **Richmond Vascular Center**. They are truly one of the best in RVA! I recently had the **Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)** procedure, and from the ladies at the front desk to the nurses and medical team, everyone was professional, caring, and supportive. **Dr. Brian Strife** took the time to explain the procedure and answer my questions so I could understand what to expect. After praying about my decision, I felt peace about moving forward. Ladies, if you are dealing with **fibroids and heavy menstrual cycles**, please know that you may have options. Ask questions, learn about the treatments available to you, and talk with a qualified medical professional about what is right for your situation. I'm looking forward to this new chapter--**living free from fibroids!** #FibroidAwareness #UFE #WomensHealth #RichmondVA #RVA #NewChapter #FaithOverFear

I had the UFE (uterine fibroid embolization) procedure on July 30, 2021 so I've given myself enough…read moretime to leave a well informed review. I've been struggling with the horrible symptoms of having fibroids for a few years and was in desperate need of some relief. The constant bleeding and painful cramps was taking a toll on my emotional and mental state. I went to a local OBGYN and had an ultrasound to evaluate how bad my fibroids were and to find out if there was any kind of treatment. They immediately encouraged a full hysterectomy due to my age being over 40 and not wanting to birth more children. I asked if there were any alternatives to losing my uterus, in which I was not ready to part with yet and they told me that was my only option. I was very hesitant and they were ready to schedule the surgery. I decided to put the hysterectomy on hold until I did my own research. the doctor was too excited about taking my uterus and it made me super uncomfortable. During my search, I stumble across Richmond Vascular Center. There were no reviews so I was going in blind. i read up on the UFE procedure and saw that I could keep my uterus so I scheduled an appointment immediately! My first appointment with them was very reassuring as it confirmed my hesitancy with the OBGYN office. I indeed had options and the hysterectomy didn't have to happen if I didn't want it. I'm so glad I trusted myself!! The staff was very kind and I met with Dr. McLaurin and he said that he would be the one to perform my procedure. He was very warm and kind. He explained everything in great detail and even mentioned that it's not 100% effective but it does have an 85-90% effective rate so I was willing to take the risk. They did and ultrasound of my wrist to check my veins to make sure I was a candidate or they would have to go through my groin instead to perform the procedure. He said they would insert a catheter in my wrist and inject these beads that would stop the fibroids from growing. I was a candidate for the wrist and that made me happy. They scheduled me to return and prescribed some meds that I needed before returning and after. Procedure day was smooth. Dr. Mclaurin asked what music I wanted to listen to during the procedure and I said "Sade". He replied, "great choice!" They started with the sedation and got started right away. I didn't feel anything during and the rest was history. They wheeled me back to recovery where the discomfort started after they reversed the sedation. Whew! The pain kicked in just as described and they explained how long it would last. They were upfront and on point with everything. I went home that day and started the recovery process. The first couple of days were rough and honestly I'd do it all over again for the results I'm having now that I'm post 5 months; almost 6. I no longer bleed or cramp and I can feel that my fibroids are shrinking. They helped me so much and I'm so glad I took a chance on this office. Anyone I know who suffers with fibroid issues I have recommend they come see why I'm so happy. Dr. Mclaurin gave me my life back and I'm so grateful for him and the staff!

The low radiation machines gives you peace of mind-and honestly, I never feel any discomfort. Gentle and caring staff makes this experience quick and effortless. The wait for your results is almost instantaneous... there's a nice beverage bar if you'd like a spot of tea or a hot cup of joe, but your wait is so short, you may have to take it to go! Stroll down the various hallways and nooks for a gander at some amazing artwork! Much of it is original; I feel like I'm in an eclectic art gallery! A nod to the Biggs English Bull Terriers, you will find paintings and figurines of these precious pups around the office. I can't say enough warm sentiments about Dr. Biggs and his darling wife, Gillian. Dr. Biggs is professional, yet personable. He gives you a thorough, informative consultation. Gillian is so pleasant and sweet. She treats the patients like she would want to be treated, and I feel like I'm more of a friend than a patient. I would highly recommend Allison Breast Center to anyone! I look forward to my visits there! I was in and out of the office in under half hour! Whew! I'm glad I got that off my chest!!
