I recommend any of the CHKD's. I specifically take my daughter to the one in chesapeake and live in virginia beach. they have open office hours from 7:30-9am if your child is sick. So you don't have to wait for an appt. but you can also get in the same day usually if you're child is sick and can't make it to the morning sick hours.

Ours is called: Chesapeake Pediatrics on Volvo parkway and it's CHKD affiliated.

Good luck!

I take my kids to the General Pediatric Clinic at CHKD. They have free parking (they stamp your ticket) and a lot of the specialists they may refer you to are on site. It's also on the bus line if you use public transportation. Their number is ###-###-####. I've been really happy with all the doctors in the practice. They may even be able to recommend resources for you as well.

My sister and I went to this group when we were kids and now we take our children there. It is just a wonderful group of doctors! (However, I strongly recommend that you avoid Drs. Nottingham and Ballard if at all possible. We don't particularly care for either of them.) Any of the other doctors are fabulous!

Dr Victor Mickunas at Pediatric Associates located at 880 Kempsville RD, suite 2600. They also have another office, I believe at 19th Street/Granby. When getting labwork done, ask for Nurse B. to do it. She did a finger prick on my toddler quite some time ago, and she didn't shed one tear. Didn't even wimper. We have seen other doctor's in the office, they are all great. But Dr. Mickunas is the one that my children prefer. I think they find him a bit amusing. He makes these bird sounds in the ears of smaller children. I like the way he cares, he's straight forward with you, and he allows the parent to speak!

My daughter takes my grandson to Dr. Fink at DePaul Hospital on Kingsley Lane. I believe he is located in the Pediatrics office in the Atrium building on the 3rd floor (I think their number is ###-###-####)? He is wonderful as is the other doctors in his practice. My daughter has never had a problem getting the baby in quick/same day most times and always gets a call back in a timely fashion. They are also very supportive and explain everything so well during the visits. God Bless you for taking care of your grandchild. I was practically raised by my grandmother and do not know where or how I would have turned out without her. Grandparents are a vital and special part of children's lives.
