Dr. Grove is amazing. She really cared about me and my pregnancy. I was not just another patient, she took the time to get to know me and my family's needs. I felt truly cared for and trusted her to help guide me to make the best choices during my high risk pregnancy.

This is my 2nd visit here, and the first visit was OK. The nurses are always amazing and sweet, and actually seem like they care. This time around, it was terrible. I had to go upstairs for an ultrasound, and the front desk lady on the 2nd floor was beyond rude from the moment you walk in. Everything she said came with an attitude. Then the doctor I saw today, Dr. Buttener didn't listen and just made me feel like an idiot when I explained my symptoms to her. She did not care at all, and she barely listened to me throughout the entire visit. I am only giving 2 stars because the nurses are so sweet. I wouldn't recommend this doctor to anyone.

I'll preface this by saying I've almost never written a review before: my appointment at the Broad Street location was the best medical experience I've ever had. All the staff are friendly and the facility itself is wonderful. Dr. Sarraf is knowledgeable and caring, and really took the time to understand my concerns and thoughtfully propose solutions. I would absolutely recommend Virginia Women's Center to anyone looking for a PCP/OB GYN.

I've been with VA womens center for 20 years now and I am not happy with Dr. Jefferson leaving the practice, however, Dr. Tozer has stepped up to take care of my womanly needs and I trust in the VA Womens Centers brand. Dr. Tozer was very patient with me and was knowledgeable about her craft. I've been to her 1 time but, so far so good. Also, Dr. Shannon is awesome! I love her bedside manner because she communicates effectively and both Dr's do not rush me and makes me feel as though I am a human being and not just a number.
Thank you all for your time. Even down to the phlebotomists in the lab. They are so courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. These are great attributes to have these days and times. It feels good to go to a practice that knows what they're doing and is able to put the patient at ease.

The front desk people were super friendly and helpful, but Dr. Wilbanks was a different story. I tried to explain to him that I had been on the antibiotic before that he wanted to put me on, but he dismissed my concerns about the issue not being resolved in the long-term, said that it should be the right antibiotic to treat me, and still went ahead and put me on that antibiotic. I took the prescription as directed and felt better.temporarily.
I scheduled a follow-up appointment as recommended, and lo and behold, the same issue that I had come in for before had come back. I was in so much pain that I had to cancel that follow-up appointment because I couldn't even drive that long (bless whichever lady at the front desk who helped me cancel the appointment, she was sweet as pie). I can't recommend Dr. Wilbanks, and I'm now less likely to be open to seeing a male doctor. I wasted my time and money on an appointment and prescription that I felt didn't help me or address my concerns.
