Chesapeake Pediatrics

Our Goal: Good Health

Chesapeake Pediatrics is a community-minded, family-oriented practice that has served the children of Hampton Roads since 1987. We are especially proud that many of our staff have been here through much of our history. 

Our goal is to help your children enjoy good health from infancy through adolescence, and we encourage regular checkups and immunizations to meet this goal. We also participate in the Reach Out and Read program, as well as community events that focus on children’s health and well-being. Our physicians have hospital privileges at CHKD, Chesapeake Regional Medical Center, Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, and Sentara Leigh Hospital. 

We encourage a partner-like relationship between the provider, patient, parents, and the community to ensure that your child receives comprehensive, preventive health care and that parents understand the development stages that are part of growing up. We also encourage parents and patients to meet with all of our providers. A friendly face is always comforting to a sick child. 

Same-Day Sick Visits

We offer same-day sick appointments upon request as well as access to CHKD specialty practices, many of whom offer appointments at the CHKD Health Center at Oakbrooke.

Sick child walk-in hours are offered at our Discovery Drive location Monday through Friday, from 7:30 to 9 a.m. This service is available for established patients with minor illnesses, including sore throat, cough, flu, fever, ear pain, etc. No appointment is necessary. Patients will be seen on a first-come first-served basis with a limited number of visits available. 

CHKD Medical Group Vaccine Statement

The primary care pediatricians of CHKD Medical Group believe that vaccination may be the single most important thing parents can do to protect the health of their children. All CHKD Medical Group practices share the same philosophy on immunizations, and all take steps to minimize the risk unvaccinated and under-vaccinated children present to infants, young children who have not yet completed their vaccinations, and those with weakened immune systems. We are aware that rumors circulate concerning which CHKD practices are more lenient about immunizations, but these rumors are not true. Our practices share a unified belief that children should be fully vaccinated according to the schedule developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and that we have an ethical responsibility to create the safest possible environment for care.
