as I am in Richmond I have no suggestions but hope that you find a good pcp.   if nothing else, WELCOME TO VA!

Hello Lauren and thank you

Hi and welcome to VA.   I live here in Newport News (only since Nov. 2010). I would recommend Tidewater Medical Center (Newport News Internal Medicine)  on Omni Blvd.  (757) 877-4221. I was actually referred to them by my WL surgeon. I also have BCBS insurance and they accept most any insurance. I see Dr. Polk and I think he is wonderful. He actually takes the time to listen and if you don't understand anything he will explain it simply. Also Congrats on 5 years out. I am going to be sleeved on June 3. I hope this helps you.

Thank you very much I will look into Dr Polk....wishing you all the best with your weightloss surgery on June 3rd
