Most importantly which speaks volumes, is he asks you questions and he LISTENS without rushing you. Nowadays, that is a lost quality. I think it's highly imperative to provide any written restrictions/instructions to patients for follow up care. Dr. Kirven does this. My only qualms is the wait time. I waited twice on two different occasions, an hour and some change later to be seen after my appointment time. I supposed this is where one has to sacrifice punctuality in order to maintain quality care. In that case, I'm willing to wait. This wait is probably due to him taking the time to listen to his patients instead of pushing them out in an assembly line. Staff here is great and friendly! Also Dr. Kirven was was one ortho doc that was relatively easy to acquire an appointment as a new patient quickly. I had broken my wrist and was in need of an ortho doc. Another positive is the convenience to do x-rays on site :-) which I believe most ortho places do.

I'm sorry to have to downgrade my review for this practice. My last appointment with the doctor…read morewas extremely puzzling. At a previous appointment he insisted that I stop a medication he felt was significantly contributing to my electrolyte imbalance. I asked if I could just stop or needed to taper off. He said to just stop. This bothered me. So I researched it & confirmed both that it could cause electrolyte problems & that you couldn't stop "cold turkey". I contacted my PCP, who gave me the proper instructions & lower dosage to taper off. When I went back for my followup visit I was excited to report that I had stopped taking the offending medicine & had worked really hard to limit my water intake. He would hardly let me talk. He acted like a completely different man, not seeming to want to listen to the fact that I had followed his instructions to stop the medication & to drink less water. I'm not sure he had even checked the bloodwork & other testing that he had ordered. He just waved the results of the urinalysis that had just done in his office at me. He said "There's nothing wrong with you. You just drink too much water,". He indicated that he was dismissing me & had once sent a patient to a psychiatrist for drinking too much water. Needless to say I was shocked at his behavior. I asked if he would send a report to my Cardiologist, who had referred me there for the continuing electrolyte imbalance. That must not have happened. At my next Cardiology appointment they thought the Nephrologist was still in charge of the monitoring. I don't know whether he was just having a bad day. But I do know that I'll never go back to that provider.

This photo makes him look gruff, he is the complete opposite and truly a teddy bear, a very, very nice person. Previously, I had an appointment with another Sentara Cardiologist who wiped me off the My Chart for an appt in Jan. 19th, 2026, he had something else to do per Nurse Rachett, then offered to reschedule me for end of May or June. I'd love to tell you his name but, his office conveyed a complete disregard for the patient. I waited for that appt since August 2025. After this experience my husband was quite upset. My inital problem was discovered during a colonoscopy, when I started to A-FIB, this was Mar 2025. Now I was scheduled with Dr. Grammes in Feb 2026 and he was willing to listen, answer my questions, and put me at ease about my procedure. Prompt for appt time, pleasant office staff as well as nursing staff. My procedure, hopefully will be scheduled soon but so far, he and his office staff deserve 5 stars. Will advise after procedure.

I had an early appointment so the parking lot wasn't as packed as it can be at later times during the day. When i entered i was promptly greeted by 2 nice employees who were upbeat and friendly, and i was checked in. The process was quick and went smoothly. I saw a new Doctor today, Dr Banks and his P.A. . The P.A does most of the appointment and the doctor comes in with a plan of treatment afterwards. They were both very nice and thorough in their observations. They also did an EKG which took less than 5 minutes. The office was clean and the staff was polite. When i checked out there was no wait and the receptionist printed everything we spoke about after the visit and scheduled my followups. This visit went very smoothly and i like this location. If your looking for a Cardiologist, this location is a good pick. 4 stars!!!

They are taking COVID-19 social distancing very seriously as all of the staff wear masks and no one is allowed to enter without a mask on. The seating is properly spaced in accordance with the State guidelines. The staff is always friendly and courteous while at the same time, they are pretty quick to get patients in and out in a timely fashion (always a good thing to experience.) The office is always clean and so are the restrooms if you have to provide a test sample. The medical staff is top notch and I have never felt rushed as though I was just a number, they take the time to answer my questions (when I have any.) I recommend this medical center if you need to take a physical or even if you are not feeling well, they will take good care of you either way.

This Nowcare Medical Associates is located along Indian River Rd. just a little west of the…read moreintersection with S Military Highway in Virginia Beach. There was a good amount of parking there as well. My visit here was on August 27, 2024. The reason for my visit to this location was for a pre-employment physical and drug screening for a new job with a local hospital system. These types of visits are by appointment. When I came in, I was greeted at the main desk. After checking in, I was asked to go to the next room over, which is where these pre-employment physicals would be. The longest part of this experience was waiting to be called back to even start the process. It took over an hour after my scheduled appointment time to get the process started. Once the process was started, it went pretty seamlessly after that. This physical included several tests such as weight, vision, urine sample, a full physical by a provider there and some blood draws. Part of that testing was to test for antibodies to several infectious diseases, which several days later I found out I had the needed immunity. Overall, the process is what I was expecting. The only reason for the lower rating is due to the long wait between getting started and the appointment time. I can understand there can be some delay, but over an hour is a bit excessive. This may have been because they were busy, but that tells me they may not have been adequately staffed that day. Overall, if you need a physical or other care, this place is still good. You may want to prepare for a longer wait than you may expect depending on how busy that area of the practice is. They were still able to get the job done, which is the most important part.

After searching and searching I found this practice and Dr. Peter Laplace through word of mouth. I am ever so glad that I did. Staff here is so friendly and helpful. I am never confused about any of the policies or billing. Appointments are easy to schedule and they even have an online patient portal for you to view your records and care plans. Having struggled for several years with a few chronic issues I am finally at a place in my physical and mental health where I'm not just getting by but am happy and on a road to healthy. This is all credited to Dr. Laplace. He listened to my issues and concerns and guided me to the best recovery path. No throwing meds at me and moving on to the next patient! We thoroughly went over the short term and long term goals and plans. Healthcare is a vital part of life and having a doctor who listens and cares is paramount to receiving the best Healthcare. I am so very lucky to have Dr Laplace and associates in primary care looking after my well being.

Their are some problems that need support and considering this is an OBGYN office I would expect them to understand this. The incident I am referring to is when a women came in and with her husband.

I walked back when called and she was sobbing. In times like these we need our significant other with us during times of pain or sadness. They quote this as the safety for patients and staff. I do not think that is accurate. Moral support during pregnancy is crucial. Counseling staff absolutely amazing! I couldn't give her enough five star reviews. She has bee.

I've been going to this location for many years, and the service used to be excellent. However,…read moresince mid-2023, it has significantly declined--from the nurses to the nurse practitioners to the doctors. They now recommend too many unnecessary tests and biopsies that cost thousands of dollars and go straight to the deductible. This has left me feeling frustrated, untrusting, and disappointed. I no longer have a reliable OB-GYN I can turn to, someone who knows my history and offers thoughtful care before jumping to procedures. Being in my mid-60s, I know I need good care, but sadly, I won't find it at this practice. To make matters worse, most women's health practices in Tidewater have merged into one physician group. Their approach seems clear: more tests, more procedures, and less personalized care. Trust your gut feeling - take care and be aware of what I shared.
