Virginia Beach Neurology

Barbara Bishop is wonderful. Together we have taken on the challenge of healing my chronic migraines. She listens to my concerns and speaks to me in terms that are clear and understandable. I truly believe she has the patients best interests at hand. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

Dr. Chow is not awesome good nothing. She just worked to get me out the door. Discounted my issue and now it’s worse. My legs go numb I have dizziness. She only asked MAYBE 3 questions. Was awful. Just got me out the door as quick as possible.

Dr. Cao is great. She has managed my issues perfectly with care, concern & an extreme knowledge base of neurological issues. It isn’t hard to get an appointment. And if you have an issue that needs to be addressed immediately the staff will consult with her & she will make sure you are seen. You don’t have to wait weeks. She will also inquire about other health issues that might affect the neurological issues. I highly recommend.

Dr. Cao is an excellent doctor! But her front desk staff is horrible! Not patient friendly at all! They act like they don’t want to be bothered! I was put on hold for 15 minutes, I hung up the phone and called back. No answer! When I finally got through the person had an attitude and before I could say thank you she hung the phone up! Another time when I went to the office, I stood at the check in window for at least 10 minutes and the person acted like she didn’t see me!

This is the first neurologist practice I have ever gone to and I am very pleased with this place. I seemingly have issues with my brain and very low blood pressure during pregnancy, so my OB referred me over to VB Neurology to assess my problems. I really really like Dr. Cao. She is very smart and takes lots of notes when you speak. On my initial visit, she was very concerned about the issues I’m having and immediately send over my necessary prescriptions and ordered me an EEG scan, which I completed this morning. The technician who did my scan was awesome. So nice, sparked a great conversation whilst covering my scalp with goo and electrodes, and generally made me feel pretty comfortable during the whole procedure. I will say this, if you ever need to have one of these scans done, don’t even bother washing your hair prior. its pointless. Anyway, the reception team is very nice and helpful as well. Hopefully they will be able to find some answers for me and you too, if this is where you are referred.

When you move a long distance you quickly need to find the grocery store, the liquor store, the nearest Lowes. Finding a doctor, dentist, specialist often gets pushed off until you actually need them. I was in need of a neurologist when I realized I was almost out of meds. That’s right, without them I am not the same person you may know, it’s not a pretty site. I got a referral to Dr. Cao and amazingly only had to wait a few days to get an appointment. That makes me sceptical. Also, the office is a bit of a trek for me but it does have it’s advantages, it’s very near the best shopping area in VB.
It seemed I waited a long time to be called back for my appointment but Dr. Cao had been busy, she was reading through the 20 years of history I brought with me. She actually comes to the waiting room to greet her patient then walks you to her office. No waiting in an exam room wishing you had brought something to read. Many questions, a quick neuro exam and I had my script.
I have one of those prescription insurance companies that requires you to do a 90 day, by mail order, for any meds that are maintanence. There was an issue because I previously had different insurance. Dr. Cao’s office did a Great Job handling all the paperwork, it’s a very expensive medication.
I will add that if you don’t have insurance, this office is very expensive. Thank you BC/​BS.
