Dr. Sample does not respect your bodily autonomy and will waste your time if you want a procedure that she isn't personally comfortable with. It's not about YOUR comfort, using your power as a physician to impose your own ideas about how someone should live is unethical.

This is the only OBGYN I will go to. I started seeing her 4 years ago and now all my friends and family see her too. She’s very patient and will take her time with you.

Dr. Sample is an excellent doctor. It was her staff that I had a problem with. Mainly a young blonde working the front desk. Rude and very unprofessional. the young lady asked me what I was being seen for in front of the entire office of patients waiting.

Its refreshing to hear a doctor who is straight forward and dont sugar coat the issues. She was direct but also caring and I appreciated that.

When I had my daughter in 2009, she was oversaw my care at Dr.Valentine's office, she was very professional, knowledgable and blunt. I was sad to discover that she was no longer in that practice and in conversation with a women i met in the grocery store , i found she has her own practice in Norfolk, will call and make my appt. today.

I would not recommend this practice to anyone. To say the least.....the wait times are outrageously long and only to sit in a gown for another thirty minutes.
