Throughout my appointment, she came across as unprofessional and dismissive. Instead of taking the time to listen to my concerns, I felt rushed and as though my questions were being brushed aside. Her bedside manner also left much to be desired. Compassion and clear communication are incredibly important in healthcare, especially during pregnancy and postpartum care, but I did not feel heard, respected, or supported. The interaction made me feel uncomfortable rather than reassured. I understand that healthcare providers have busy schedules, but every patient deserves to be treated with respect and empathy. I hope this feedback encourages improvement in communication and patient care so that others have a more positive experience than I did. I am not the only person who has had poor experiences with her. Lucky for me I got outside care, so if you have the chance to be seen elsewhere or with a different provider, do so.Fertility clinic

The stuff at NMCP are extremely rude and don’t take their jobs seriously. Getting in contact with your midwife or doctor if you need to is also extremely hard and you have to be transferred over and over and then be on hold for 30 minutes just to leave a message. They also don’t take your pregnancy seriously at all.Not enough room for trucks also, you need escort. I’m waiting over two hours for the escort now! And I’m having some feelings like not today!On June 1, 2026, at approximately 10:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., I overheard a conversation involving a female nurse, a male nurse, and MORRISONPONCE, DAPHNE PILAR, MD, regarding a…On June 1, 2026, at approximately 10:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., I overheard a conversation involving a female nurse, a male nurse, and MORRISONPONCE, DAPHNE PILAR, MD, regarding a male patient. The discussion appeared to involve the patient's private medical information and was conducted in a manner that sounded more like gossip than a legitimate clinical discussion. Before the physician became involved in the conversation, the female and male nurses referred to the patient by name and appeared to access or review his medical chart while discussing him. During the conversation, they discussed details of his medical condition, treatment history, and other information that appeared to come directly from his medical record. The female nurse stated that the patient had arrived at the hospital earlier that morning, between approximately 9:00 and 10:00 a.m., because antibiotics previously prescribed by Sentara Hospital were not improving his strep throat. She further stated that the patient had remained in the waiting room for approximately seven hours and discussed delays related to his testing and/or retesting for strep throat. The nurse also mocked the patient for crying and becoming emotional while seeking care for his worsening condition. The tone of the discussion appeared dismissive and disrespectful toward the patient and his medical concerns. Additionally, the female nurse stated that she had not documented everything that had been discussed or communicated regarding the patient's condition in his medical chart. The statement was made in the context of discussing the patient's care and raised concerns about whether relevant information had been omitted from the medical record. The conversation further suggested that concerns raised by the patient may not have been fully reflected in the chart, potentially affecting the evaluation and timeliness of his care. The fact that the patient was identified by name, that his chart appeared to be accessed and discussed outside the context of direct patient care, and that multiple healthcare professionals participated in the conversation raises serious concerns regarding patient confidentiality, professionalism, and compliance with healthcare privacy standards. The statements regarding prolonged waiting times, delayed testing, and incomplete documentation also raise concerns about the quality, accuracy, and timeliness of the care provided.I hardly ever leave reviews but a few people from the hospital (pediatrics and peds surgeon) deserve some credit!

My son was born 7 months ago and from his 2 week appointment until now, every doctor, nurse, corpsman and surgeon have been the most accommodating, sincere, helpful and just genuinely concerned and nice. Many of them going above and beyond to get us the correct care. Most recently there was a miscommunication in our appointment time but the peds clinic squeezed us in the same day I showed up, knowing we are PCSing the same week. Lt. Commander Walters was SO nice and caring. Went above and beyond to call the peds surgeon who was able to see us the very next day. The corpsman who helped is (his name was Brendon or Brandon. My apologies for not remembering exactly) was very attentive and so helpful as well! Today we saw the peds surgeon, Dr. Prieto, and everyone from checking us in, doing vitals and then to his exam were so nice and helpful! We are flying out in two days and they made us feel so much better about our sons issue and offered to help us get connected with a doctor overseas if need be. Thanks to all for such great care and urgency the last couple of days!! It’s more appreciated than I can express!Been sitting for hours with a needle in my arm with symptoms of a strangulated hernia. Surgery previously scheduled. Told by surgeon to have emergency surgery if symptoms arose.I haven't been to this hospital in over 10 years. I had a wellness appointment today and it was great.

The time we spent, a long time, we were wonderfully taken care of. Today she is 31 and a Mom. I went through breast cancer there. They were again great. Every department; Breast Clinic, Radiology, MRI, Surgery Clinic and Plastic Surgery Clinic. Thank You Portsmouth Naval Hospital!!! Best Military Hospital!!!Had a horrible experience giving birth to my 3rd child here. I told them that my water had broke and this was my 3rd birth and my contractions were 5 minutes apart and i wanted an…Had a horrible experience giving birth to my 3rd child here. I told them that my water had broke and this was my 3rd birth and my contractions were 5 minutes apart and i wanted an epidural asap. The lack of urgency to get me into a delivery room was bind blowing. They said they needed to get an iv in me first. Okay cool, except I waited over 2 hours for someone to come in and give me a damn iv. Every moment that passed the contractions became more and more intense. And everytime my husband went to ask the nurses what the hold up was, the response was always "someone will be with you shortly ". (As they all sat at the nurses station doing absolutely nothing). Someone then finally came to put an iv in and I ask for an epidural. The nurse told me that I had to wait until I was in a delivery room for that. At this time they told me I was "4 or 5cm dilated". And it took another 45 minutes for them to finally take me to a delivery room. At this point I ask again for an epidural. They told me they requested it. I then noticed that she hooking my iv up to some fluids and I asked the nurse what was that that she was giving me. She told me "some patossin its standard"... im sorry, I thought that you had to notify and ask the patient if its alright with them before you give them any drugs. I was in so much pain i didnt even have the energy to challenge her. But why would you give a women who went into naturally induced labor an induction drug? And put more stress on her body and the baby? Anyway not even 2 minutes after getting the patossin my contractions went from 100 to 1000. I was contractions back to back (literally 20 seconds apart with no break) and still no epidural in sight. 20 minutes after suffering the anesthesiologist finally came in and at that point my body wasnt trembling so much from the pain I could not sit still for the epidural. The nurses tried to hold me still and thought that yelling "this is for your baby, you need to sit still" was helpful and I had to tell them to get off me! I wanted the epidural but I could not sit still and them hold me down was only making the pain worse. They then backed off and checked my dilation and said that I was "8cm dialated". Still in agony, still contracting with only 15 sec breaks at this point I knew there was no way I was only 8cm. Literally with no exaggeration 2 minutes after she checked me, my body started to push on its own. I yelled The nurses that she was coming out! And the one nurse who checked me told me I had to stop pushing. I told her im not trying to! They finally gathered around and opened my legs and saw the I was crowning. I delivered my daughter and you'd think the trauma stops there. No. They decided not even a minute after the cord being cut to start tugging on something I believe to be the umbilical attached to my placenta. Now, in my previous birthing experience, I was told to push. This lady was pulling it out of me. They dis not include none of this in my records either and I think its because they realized I was hemoraging while I was in recovery. A nurse came in and pushed on my belly and I was just bleeding abnormally. It was more blood than whats normal after vaginal birth. Mind you know one is telling me why I was bleeding so much, but I really believed it was linked to the drugs given to me without my consent along with the tugging and pulling out my placenta the way they did. A doctor had to physically come in and "scrape out blood clots out of my uterus" is how it was described. But I believe he was trying to get out prices of my placenta. This procedure was even more traumatizing to me. Having a man elbow deep in your vagina a couple hours after giving natural birth scraping your uterus. Smh and I dont even have enough space to explain the hematoma that magically appeared on my daughter head 24hrs later smh. Don't give birth here!I just want to give a heartfelt thank you to the entire team at Portsmouth.

The pediatric oncology/hematology doctors, heart doctors, resident doctors, PICU doctors, infectious disease doctors, Pediatric Surgeon, child specialists, physical therapists, and all the doctors, nurses, and corpsmen who cared for our son, Raiden, throughout his entire treatment.

It was a very stressful time for our family, and his kindness, patience, and compassion truly made a difference. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly, which helped ease our worries and made us feel confident in the care we were receiving. He listened attentively and made sure we felt supported and cared for throughout the entire visit. His calm and reassuring presence meant more than I can express. I sincerely appreciate the level of care and attention he showed us and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of compassionate and professional medical care.My husband had a heart procedure done last week.

I was always kept in the loop and they did their best to keep my happy. I mean everyone from the ER to the ones that took care of me during my 5 days stay took extremely good care of me. The MRI CT people were amazing too. They were all so warm amd welcoming.

I was in intensive care for almost 3 weeks. I was blessed with the greatest care anybody on earth could recieve. After one of the surgeries I opened my eyes and saw a pair of beings intensively staring by me in the dark lit up by red equipment...I asked if they were angels?...out of the darkness I heard.."sometimes" ...I happily slept. Now I feel healthier than ever, working outdoors like I was young. I feel a great love for the many sailors that performed surgeries and care for me. And great pride in the U.S.N .. Their system, and professional dedication. I am a very blessed Coast Guardsman.I couldn’t have asked for a better group of doctors and nurses to help me and my wife’s newborn through an issue he was having.

They come across as having an attitude, as if asking, “What do you want” instead of “how can I help you” It definitely makes me not want to go there anymore.The Allergy department team on the 29th was unfriendly and couldn’t hide that they wanted to be done.

I was terrified and had some really scary moments during labour, everything was handled with care and so fast, the communication was completely there with everyone and my care afterwards was also amazing considering it could have been extremely traumatic given some of the situations! I feel very lucky for the staff in labour and delivery & in the end was able to have a natural birth becusse they tried everything before jumping into a c section which was so grateful for.I recently had an unpleasant experience at the checkpoint of the here.

All the…The very first time I came here for an OBGYN appointment was a horrible experience. The lady I had questioned me about this being my first child when it’s my second time. All the vitamins and something else is not helping or working. On top of that today the experience was horrible. Everyone was super rude when I needed help for pelvic pain which has yet been resolved. I was told to go to my PCM but they told me to go there. Now I’m stuck with this horrible pain that will not go away. It’s progressively getting worse and no one is doing anything to help. I know this isn’t right and the level of unprofessionalism in the place is bad. Checking into the labor & delivery’s and pharmacy to check in were very rude. At L&D the check in lady was on her phone and I was standing there for about 30 mins waiting. A nurse had to tell her to help me. She looked up and rolled her eyes at me. The way she spoke to me was rude and you can tell I just made her mad by needing help. Then the pharmacy lady just stared at me and said nothing. When I said I was here to pick up at the window since my number was called. She proceeded to roll her eyes and just asked for my DOD ID. Didn’t ask to verify my birthday and just threw my medicine over the counter.Excruciating pain necessitated my seeking medical attention at PNH on 09/18 and 9/20 respectively; the second visit occasioned by my failing to properly follow instructions.…Excruciating pain necessitated my seeking medical attention at PNH on 09/18 and 9/20 respectively; the second visit occasioned by my failing to properly follow instructions. During my initial visit I had the pleasure of being assessed and treated by Dr. C. Treager and his team, a doctor I found to be patient, kind, knowledgeable and interested in his patient. Thank you so much Dr. Treager! On my return to PNH and being a bit less stressed than during my initial visit, I had the opportunity to interact more with the staff. At Check-In there was a competent, kind and patient Trainer taking her Trainee through the paces. My Triage nurse (Lilah/Layla) was kind and listened attentively. Then came Dr. Hazel Rigg! A most kind and dedicated doctor. She listened, took notes and exhibited genuine caring before reporting to/ conferring with Dr. Jain her supervisor and Dr. Manzi. An excellent team! Professional, methodical...human! Not to be outdone, Nurse Courtney Crawford was wonderful. Professional and caring to the point of making an injection...easy!

The experience was awful. I arrived at 07:14 and didn’t leave until 14:02. I spent 3.5 hours in the waiting room, then over an hour in the back before being seen. Despite an apology for staffing shortages, reviews suggest this is a long-standing issue. It took nearly two more hours for a vague diagnosis and another 30 minutes for discharge paperwork. This is why many veterans avoid military hospitals—long waits, poor treatment, and little real help.I loved my Dr who delivered my son, Dr. Christopher Desposito!

Despite numerous customer service windows, it’s not uncommon to wait 2, 3, or even 4 hours for medications following discharge from the hospital.

I had to wait until I was 10-13 weeks estimated for my first check up, I waited another 6 weeks for my next and to find out the gender. They did a Doppler and no ultra sound and handed me a piece of paper that said “it’s a boy!” They didn’t even do a baby picture with it. They have taken any joy, fun or keep sake excitement out of finding that out for us. I have a history of thyroid cancer which, makes you automatically high risk, but not according to their mid wife. All pregnancies are different, so I guess that means my Medical history changes too? With my first son we were able to count fingers and toes by 16 weeks, this appointment I was told she wouldn’t be looking at that, or anything at all for that matter. I have to wait another 6 weeks for a check up, and I have to schedule my own appointment with radiology for an anatomy scan. I’m still trying to figure out where exactly is the “care”? I will never ever hear again after I have this baby.Parking in the garage is free and easy. The staff is reasonably friendly and relatively efficient. Just remember, it's Navy medicine so the Navy always comes first.I had a good experience, not everyone does apparently here which is sad. This is one of the better hospitals in the country!

Dr Spitzer has been great though and has thoroughly explained things through the process and always answered any questions we've had....

I've seen others have complaints about her bed side manner not being good but I haven't experienced anything like that.Who you would meet
