Our goal is to provide you with the highest quality, compassionate healthcare from a dedicated team of all board certified endocrinologists.


Why the Virginia Endocrinology & Osteoporosis Center?
In the current health care environment, due to the constraints set forth by insurance companies, health care can be challenging to both patients and physicians due to short visits and long wait times.   By carefully designing a practice that allows for longer patient visits, by ensuring more face-to-face time with the physicians, by limiting the number of patients seen daily, and by utilizing state of the art technology, we are able to provide a level of individual attention that many patients thought was not possible.   

Our doctors take the time to comprehensively evaluate your health, answer all your questions, develop an individualized plan for optimizing your health, and ensure continuous and timely communication with you and your primary care provider. 

We offer direct online communication with our doctors and staff through a secure online web portal called the "Patient Portal."


What are our areas of expertise? 
An Endocrinologist is a specialist in glands and hormones.  We specialize in diabetes, thyroid conditions, osteoporosis and bone disorders, cholesterol, pituitary disease, adrenal gland disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, male testicular dysfunction, medical weight loss, and a variety of other hormone-related conditions. 

As a patient in our office, we guarantee that every visit, you will see a physician who is  subspecialty trained and board certified in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism. 


What procedures do we perform in the office? 
All of our endocrinologists perform thyroid ultrasounds and ultrasound-guided thyroid biopsies (fine needle aspirations) in our office.  We also perform bone density testing to diagnose and follow osteoporosis.  


Where is our office located? 
We are located one block from St. Francis Medical Center in Midlothian, Virginia at the end of the Powhite Parkway (Route 76) just beyond the intersection with Route 288.  We are a 20 minute drive from downtown Richmond, the West End of Richmond, Petersburg, and Colonial Heights.  

Parking is accessible within 15 feet of our front door, labs are drawn in our office, and we are conveniently located adjacent to the Bon Secours Diabetes Treatment Center for diabetes and nutrition education.  


How do you schedule a new appointment? 
To schedule a consultation, please call (804) 423-3636 and speak with our staff, or submit a new patient "online request" and we will contact you by phone within 48 hours.  Once you have an appointment, please ask your primary care physician to fax us a referral and a copy of your medical records.  

We sincerely look forward to participating in your healthcare,
