    I see Dr. Levy for my arthritic foot. I see him every 4 months for the last 2.5/3.0 years - for a…read moresteroid shot that is extremely painful for about 20 seconds. Dr. Levy is kind, patient, and thorough. I don't remember ever having to wait very long, but I do know he does a lot of surgeries, and he is stuck in surgery every once in awhile. As a general rule, dentist, doctor, hospital, I expect to wait. I do take my phone AND EARBUDS (be a good neighbor) to listen to audio books or read my my latest kindle book. But then again, I always bring something to work on or have a book to read. Sitting doing nothing for 10 min is too hard. 30 min is excruciating, right? I have a checklist: Computer, phone, kindle, glasses, water, ear buds, ID and car keys in a small canvas bag 100% charged or with appropriate chargers. In the past, I have brought needle-work. Your list will be vastly different than mine, but bring your EARBUDS to listen to DIY project you've been thinking about, etc?

Got an x-ray and was shuttled into a small waiting room. At 3p, he still hadn't shown up. Had to use the restroom. Dr. Levy was at the nurse's station when I asked where the restroom was (brand new building). When I came back, he was nowhere to be found. I thought maybe he had gone into the room to wait for me. Nope. I went up to the nurse's station and told them that i had been there for an hour, my appt was 1/2 hour ago, and to cancel it. One of the nurses asked for my name. "I've given you all the information you need. Have a nice day." As I was going into lobby, she asked if I wanted to reschedule. "No. Have a nice day." Two hours shot.

    Review of expert diagnosis and treatment of knee injury by Dr. Edward Lambert at OrthoVirginia on…read moreFirst Colonial in Va Beach. Dr. Lambert took great care in examining my injured knee, withdrawing fluid (62cc), ordering an MRI, analyzing those results, providing expert diagnosis and providing a treatment plan. Couldn't be happier with the medical care and service. My knee is healing well and I am back to running - short segments - and I believe I will return to full abilities (for a guy 71! haha) in the next month or so. For a little background, a previous doctor at a different practice ordered an X-ray, did a brief examination, told me it was useless to drain the fluid, gave me a cortisone shot and told me I'd be lucky if that helped for 6 months and that he'd see me in 6 months to talk knee replacement. My running friends said, "Go see Dr. Lambert." As noted above, Dr. Lambert went the extra mile and the MRI results showed there was nothing torn - not MCL, not ACL, not meniscus - thus no surgery was required, but that I did come dangerously close to doing so and should slowly rehab my knee according to his tried-and-true Walk To Run Program and I should regain full use, range of motion and ability within a month or two. That's huge difference! Huge! If you're a runner, you know.

    I've been a patient of this practice for knee issues in the past. However, my provider retired…read more This review is specifically for Dr. Edward Lambert. Dr. Lambert as a knee specialist was recommended. He has an amazing bedside manner and was very easy to talk to. He provided a great exam and explanation of my xray and steps moving forward with PT. Will definitely recommend Dr. Lambert to my large network of friends.

    Dr. Rajeev Pandarinath is truly exceptional. He has treated both my daughter and me over the past…read morefew years, for my daughter's Osgood-Schlatter's and a fractured finger, and for my own chronic knee pain in my mid-40s. Every single time, he's gone above and beyond. His bedside manner is outstanding--he listens, explains things clearly, and genuinely cares about his patients. It's rare to find a doctor who not only has such deep expertise but also clearly loves what he does. I have never waited more than 10 minutes to see him (kudos to his staff for running a well organized office and schedule for this busy doctor). While we don't enjoy the injuries we get on our own, we feel incredibly grateful to have found Dr. Pandarinath to treat them.

    I run marathons. I got injured. It happens. I went to see Dr. Pandarinath back when my knee pain…read morefirst started in June 2012. He said it was nothing and prescribed an anti-inflammatory and rest. I took about a month off before I started training again, with no issues. I was training for the Marine Corps Marathon, got up to 15 miles, headed out for my 18 mile run and my knee gave out completely. I went back to see the doctor and he diagnosed me with tendinitis, prescribed PT and rest. I took 6 MONTHS off. I spent those 6 months in PT, following orders, doing exercises, etc. I saw him during a 3 month check up and he said I was making progress. When I was discharged from PT, I got the ok to start running again. For 3 months, I gradually built my running back up and got the ok to run a Half Marathon...the Nike Women's Half. At Mile 8, my knee gave out. I went to see a different doctor (Dr. Annunziata). He called for an MRI (something Dr. Pandarinath had never done) and diagnosed me with IT Band Syndrome...which has the complete opposite symptoms of tendinitis. A runner with a knee injury and you don't take an MRI? Even I questioned that. So, now it's May, I'm almost a year out from an injury that typically has a 6-8 week recovery time, and I'm just now starting to recover because of his misdiagnosis. Oh, and I would say his wait times were decent...except for that one time I waited for 90 minutes in his office and he never showed up.
