Virginia Beach Obstetrics and Gynecology PC

Dr Kotsko was fantastic! No issues there but after my appointment I had some
Insurance issues. I’m «out of the area» for work so I needed a pre approval bla bla bla. When I called to speak with a billing representative I spoke with two different women and they were both SO RUDE. Not to mention unhelpful. I really really would love to go back and see that doctor again but everyone else I have interacted with there so far has just been infuriating. INFURIATING!

I spent a good deal of time researching places for OB care when I discovered that I was pregnant nine months ago. The costs here are reasonable with insurance (not the least nor most expensive) and they worked out a payment plan with me in the beginning. I’ve mostly visited the Glen Mitchell branch and I’ve found nothing but prompt and courteous care from every individual. I did not find the same welcome and care from the support staff at the Providence location (not terrible care, just not as good as the Glen Mitchell branch).
You usually visit a different practitioner upon each visit with the concept of having each professional familiar with your file so that the doctor on-​call, at the time of your labor/​delivery, will have examined you at least once. I think this makes sense as you could spend your whole pregnancy with one practitioner but if they aren’t on-​call when you deliver then tough luck.
I’m a first time mother who has never felt rushed through an appointment and I feel that all of my questions have been addressed in a professional and thorough manner.
So far, all of my personal goals for the delivery are in alignment with VB-​OBGYN. I’m just about one week away from my due-​date now and am hoping for a natural birth. I’ll be sure to write on update postpartum but I’ve so far had a very positive experience here and would absolutely recommend the practice to other expectant families.

The care is sincere at VBOBGYN. They offer payment arrangements and many options for appointment times & locations. All of the doctors are extremely friendly. The only thing I will say is do plan to arrive 15mins early for paperwork and leave yourself extra time in your day b/​c they do get a little backed up in the afternoon. Other than that both of my pregnancies and personal care has been amazing for over 8years.

Don’t tell them you want to do a vag birth, they’ll only find some way to get you to do a c-​section. Oh and if your c-​section gets infected just go straight to the hospital cause they will tell you it’s just an inflamed scar… Funny how a inflamed scar can produce enough puss that at the hospital they had to drain and re-​stitch it…

Be careful that you show up early, if you hit traffic they’ll cancel your appointment even if you try to give them a courtesy call that you’re running 5 minutes late. Between that and the long hold times when calling to renew prescriptions or speak with a nurse, I still give them 3 stars for when they finally do see you/​answer the phone. Perhaps they are just understaffed…

Does not accept Medicaid or any HMO insurance under Medicaid (such as Va Premier or Healthkeepers Plus). Front desk said ONLY if I was pregnant could they see me. So you practice safe sex and don’t have multiple children and then you can’t get an appointment here?!! I’ll have to write down the office name so I remember they are not good.

Remember the days when talking about your gynecologist was faux pas, uncomfortable, or inappropriate. My how times have changed, and for the better, in my opinion. I have been going to this practice for about three years. After a dissatisfied experience with another GYN practice in the area, I decided to go here. My husband and I were trying to conceive and having difficulty because of my irregular cycles. I met with Dr. Talreja, who listened to my concerns and did a thorough exam the morning of my appointment. She felt my urgency, rushed my labs, and called me after work hours that night to let me know the results. She instantly put me on the appropriate medication to get my system working properly. When those meds were not enough, she referred me to a specialist. The whole time, she was the one who called me, rather than having a nurse do it.
Luckily, her specialist was able to get me on the right medication, and now I am 9 months pregnant. VBOBGYN has been with me throughout the entire pregnancy. I like that they rotate the patients among the OB doctors, since you never know who will be on call when the baby is ready to make his/​her arrival. All of the doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and staff have been tremendously helpful. I love the ultrasound tech at the Glen Mitchell office. She was so phenomenal, explaining what we were looking at during each ultrasound. The doctors are really kind and helpful, especially to first time moms (like me). They always tried to calm my nerves and thoroughly answered my crazy questions without making me feel bad.
The comment about the difficulty in getting appointments, I have experienced, but only when looking for an appointment within a week or two. With that being said, the young lady who tried to help me get an appointment took down my name and number and called me within 24 hours of my appointment request to tell me there was availability and she could schedule me within the week.
I would definitely recommend them.

I am super pleased with this group of medical professionals. So far I’ve met with Dr, Kostco (hoping I spelled that right) and Dr. Martin. Each one took their time with me. So many times at the doctors office I’ve felt rushed and no one valued my time. I haven’t been to an office that runs on time like this one does. They are a very accommodating group as far as scheduling goes. They’ve even found me a dermatologist and scheduled the appointment for me. There’s not a lot more to say other than It’s just a great group of doctors and nurses.

No one likes talking about this just as much as I don’t like writing about it, however, this office has not yet been reviewed and since I believe them to be pretty awesome, I needed to let all the ladies out there know. Now obviously, we all know what goes on here so I don’t need to go into specifics. VB OBGYN is a BEAUTIFUL facility and all the doctors, nurses and other staff have always been super nice and professional. I recently found out I am expecting baby #2 and after much research, this is the place I chose to have my prenatal care taken care of. I loved that during my initial visit, they outlined all of the things that may or may not be covered by my specific insurance company, just so there wouldn’t be any surprises down the line. I also love that there is a patient portal website so I can view all of my history, upcoming appointments, test results, etc., whenever I want. It is conveniently located right next to Sentara Hospital and holy smokes, what a gorgeous campus. I am happy to say I will be delivering there. If you are in need of a new OB, I would definitely recommend this location. They have 2 others but this one is closest to me and I wouldn’t want to even think of going anywhere else.
