Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She was the smartest
Barbara Schimming was the smartest, most intuitive, professional, and kindest Primary Care Dr I have ever had. She really cared about her patients and it showed. I was referred to her by a friend that saw her. I had being seeing her for years. I am lost without her. I haven’t found a good one to replace her yet.

Barbara is wonderful. I have been going to her for more than 20 years. SHE IS BACK! Google her name and Bridge Rd, Suffolk, VA. My prayers were answered.

I was supposed to have an appointment with her tonight and they called me at noon to tell me she wasn't there any more. I'm so unhappy with that practice. They waited til the day of my appointment to tell me she left in March. This is JULY. Has anyone found her? I trust her completely.

Nurse Barbara, as I call her is replaceable. I am among many of her patients searching for where she landed since she left Western Branch Family Practice. I hope I find her soon. She is the best of the best and truly a God sent angel.
