  We had a very disappointing and scary experience with Dr. Subedi who did not ask our permission to retract our two month old son’s foreskin on his uncircumcised penis. In fact, she did not even know he was uncircumcised despite it being obvious and also our third visit with her. It is in his records that he is uncircumcised and we also have directly told her at a previous appointment. She then proceeded to tell us something was wrong with his urethra and then took that back after I told her again that he is uncircumcised and to not do that. She got defensive when I became visibily upset. I find it shocking and unacceptable for a professional to behave in this manner. My son’s well being is my top priority and I would not recommend Dr. Subedi to examine anyone’s baby.

  After having a terrible experience with our first pediatrician as first time parents, we switched our son to RVA peds when he was 4 months old. The experience, in particular Dr. Cole Hawthorne, was night and day. He truly is the definition of a care partner - he listens to your concerns (and as an anxious mom I always have many!) and acknowledges them, but assuages them and takes the time to educate you on what is happening with your child. He is amazing with our son and truly cares about his patients, which is demonstrated both through bedside manner and through his follow ups. We have also seen several other providers at RVA peds during sick visits, such as Dr. Christian, (they are open 7 days a week, which is incredible) and we haven't had one yet that hasn't given us the same kindness and validation. I would recommend this practice, especially Dr. Hawthorne to anyone looking for pediatric care in RVA.

  They are practical, and no nonsense resulting in everyone’s appointment times for the most part being on schedule. If you have an issue they are always willing to help you out especially with the littlest ones. Just give them a call - really. They have first-come first-served hours DAILY which is huge. All the providers (doctors, nurse practitioners, techs, lac consultants) provide quality experienced care. Don’t mistake their integrity for coldness, they are running a tight but helpful and compassionate ship and I’d reco them to anyone. They truly care about the children they see and we feel like they are an absolute asset to our son’s wellbeing.
