Sentara Independence is no longer a hospital with beds for hospitalizations. The former hospital…read morenow has an Emergency Room, Imaging Center, Laboratory Services and Sleep Center. I'm not sure what the area that contained the hospital rooms is currently used for. Sentara Independence is the partner "hospital" with Sentara Virgins Beach General. Patients treated at the Emergency Room who require hospitalization are transported to Beach General as soon as a room is available. The system works well for those of us who live in Bayside. The Emergency Room is far less crowded and easier to navigate through than the larger hospitals. Complete testing and imaging can be done to determine whether the patient requires hospital. I've had many experiences with this hospital's different departments, both for myself, my late husband and uncle and my roommate. All have been excellent. It's sad the Bayside no longer has a full service hospital, losing its beds in favor of building Sentara Princess Anne Hospital on the south side of town. But the current system is working.

Evan M Rekant, MD provided me with the "Worst" experience I have ever had at this location. I've…read morebeen suffering from stomach aches, shortness of breath and a headache since Saturday. I went in for help because its been getting worse. Evan M Rekant, MD could not care less about my issues. I've been in the military for 8 years. I work very long hours and at times unpredictable. I worked all day and then went to Sentara after I got off. I have to be up tomorrow at 04, to be at work at 05. I asked for a "no work note" so I could sleep in. Mr Evan M Rekant, MD begins raising his voice at me in front of his coworkers. Basically chastising me about not going to work. He was being obnoxious, loud and rude to me. I was there a couple of days ago for the same problem. It has to be said that if the problem gets worse, they tell you to come back. Thats what I did and for that I got the worst service I have ever gotten in my life from any medical "professional". He kept asking me about my job and never mentioned my shortness of breath or my stomach pain. I understand the ER is for certain situations but how I was treated to day was abhorrent. Also, military medical is not as good as civilian and I live only 10 min away from this location, so its a lot more convenient. Also, the people are usually very friendly, professional and fast acting. Also, want to point out that military medical at times could take you about a month to get seen for a problem. Even if i go to the ER in portsmouth the wait times are sometimes 2 or more hours to get seen. On top of that they dont usually give "no work notes" because many people lie about things to get out of work. Nevertheless my experience today was very negative. Evan M Rekant definitely has anger issues and I wouldn't trust him as care professional. Other than Evan, this place and people do amazing work.

The staff was great on check in and could not have been smoother. I was brought back on schedule and prepared for surgery. The surgical staff kept me comfortable until it was time to sedate. I chose a light adjustable lens vs. a standard. My lens can be adjusted to achieve 20/20 and key in on the best vision possible. After a few office visits the lens will be laser locked in. My outpatient procedure on my left eye took less than 20 minutes and was a success. I had 20/40 vision after the surgery when before I was blind in the eye. Terrific experience and wonderful staff. I'm grateful. I'm now two weeks post surgery and doing fantastic! My first adjustment is next week.

I find it very interesting to read some of the helpful slides that continually play on the small screen in the waiting room. I have included photos of the latest info at my last visit.

The Sentara Leigh Ambulatory Surgery Center is an updated facility since the expansion & upgrade of…read morethe main Sentara Hospital on its ever expanding campus. The location is in a more northern part of the main hospital since I last had surgery there, sitting directly north of the Emergency Room. Coming from the north, enter at the first Hospital entrance off Kempsville Road. A tricky part of reaching the drive through entrance at the front of the building is that one has to enter the fenced Ambulatory Surgery parking lot on the left to reach the drive around. There isn't a sign which makes it confusing, especially if you have to be there at 0:dark30 in the morning. Parking is plentiful, especially in the early morning when most surgeons operate. A large clean waiting room, complete with a coffee station, is available for patients and those waiting with them. Near the coffee station is a row of cushion backed small tables where one can sit & work while they wait. Check-in and front desk personnel are extremely pleasant and friendly. The patient's family or friends are given a number so they can check the patient's progress on a digital board while they go through the pre-op & surgery process. After a patient is prepped, the family member or friend is called back to wait until the patient is taken back to the operating room. During that time both anesthesia & the surgeon come into the patient's cubicle for a final check in & questions. Everyone was friendly and cheerful, including those at the medical station in the midst of the pre-op & recovery cubicles. After surgery the waiting person is called back to sit with the patient during the postoperative instructions. This was the only glitch in what otherwise would have been a perfect review. The nurse, who we had not seen before, read through the postoperative instructions very quickly from the printed instructions as if he were in a hurry to get us out the door. In my opinion this should not be rushed. Time should be allowed for the patient to have all their cognitive processes restored after anesthesia so they can digest the information & ask questions. He also wouldn't allow her to have anything but ice chips instead of offering a small drink, such as Ginger Ale, as I've always experienced in the past. Sentara Leigh Ambulatory Surgery Center is a wonderful choice for outpatient procedures. I would highly recommend.

Everyone is so caring and friendly, from check in, to Nurses and Anesthesiologist. They all make you feel like they really care about you The waiting area is very clean and nicely decorated. There is a coffee station available for anyone waiting for you and a screen that updates as you move from pre op to recovery. Both procedures went very well. The only problem was the time you have to arrive. First surgery arrival was 6:00 AM, second arrival time was 5:30 AM. I am not an early riser and being retired, I do not get up early and I am not a fan of the Surgeons early morning schedules.

Each time I was there and early and signed in and told to wait to be called. I had a sleep study in November. But I did not receive prescription until February because they would say they sent order but wasnt actually sent until February (after a ton of followups). Again, 15 mins early, signed in and told to sit and wait. The appt yesterday was a follow up appt. No one came out. Next thing lady at Front desk says Dr is leaving. What. he has an appt (for a patient who was here 15 min early)! Who does that?! So frustrated. The next day (a Saturday) I received a voicemail (not a call just vm) and an email saying "*I* missed my appt." beyond ridiculous. save yourself time and aggravation and go somewhere else. * If I could give 0 stars I would *

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.

Cape Henry Professional Centre is a small office park located at the corner of Shore Drive and…read moreGreat Neck Road. It sits behind a large dental building that overshadows this one story Centre. Before razing the absolutely beautiful flowering trees & bushes to build that dental building there was a gorgeous view from the chair of my dental practice office, which is located in the Cape Henry Centre. The offices in the complex are a mix of medical offices & professionals. They range from a CPA to dental & chiropractors, making for a varied mix. Parking is limited but plenty for the type of offices in the complex. There is a handicapped space on my dentist's side of the building at the end of the parking spots that face the building. I'm assuming there is one at each end. Since it's not the closest spot to the entrance I don't always use it (but should). The center & sidewalk is higher than the parking area. So there is a grassy incline that's not easy to navigate without a rail or arm to assist those with balance problems. That & the entrance & exit ways are the reason for 4 rather than 5 stars. Entrance is easy if coming from the west on Shore Drive. Turn right on Sun States Court. Pass the large dental building that destroyed the beautiful trees. You then turn left into the center. Additional parking is also located at the back of the entrance. But it's never been needed by this customer. Exiting left on Shore Drive with no traffic light is not usually an easy thing. So I leave via the Great Neck Road exit & proceed south the short distance to a legal u turn lane. It's always easier than attempting a turn across traffic near the busy Great Neck Road/Shore Drive intersection. Cape Henry Professional Centre is convenient for all who live in the Shore Drive corridor regardless of the side of the Lesner Bridge.
