Allergy, Asthma and Immunology

About Us

CHKD provides evaluation, diagnosis and treatment for children and teens with symptoms related to asthma and all kinds of allergies. 

We believe that family members are important members of every child's medical team, so we will work with you to determine a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan. We will also work closely with your child's primary care pediatrician and other CHKD specialists to provide coordinated care.

For the convenience of our families, we have offices in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, and Newport News. You can choose any location for any appointment. To find which location is nearest you and directions to that location, view our map, below.

Insurance and Billing Information

We accept all major insurances, including Virginia Medicaid, Tricare, and Cardinal Health. Please take the time to understand how your insurance plan works, especially regarding annual deductibles and co-pays, which can affect your out-of-pocket costs.

Unless you have HMO insurance that requires a referral from a primary care physician, a referral is not required. You can simply call our office to make an appointment.

If your insurance does require a referral, make sure it has not expired and remember to bring it with you to the appointment. 

Everyone should bring a government-issued photo ID and their insurance card to every medical appointment. 

We offer in-depth information about insurance in our billing and insurance section.
