Find your way to local medical services, check the right office and prepare practical questions before booking.
Plan your search
Start with the medical care guide below. It provides a comparison checklist and links to official location, patient and licensing resources.
Use the exact location
Confirm the practitioner, appointment address, accessibility and new-patient process directly with the office. A listing or a nearby location does not establish availability, insurance participation or suitability for a particular patient.
Keep care and everyday wellbeing distinct
Medical care, dental care and everyday wellness have separate starting points here. Use Wellness & Fitness for activity and wellbeing resources, and the relevant care section when looking for clinical services.
Richmond-area starting points
- VCU Health location finder — Search for the specific office or service and use its appointment instructions; a health-system name is not a complete destination.
- Virginia health-profession licensing — Use the relevant professional board to check the practitioner.
- Finding care in Richmond — Prepare questions about new-patient access, insurance, records and follow-up before contacting an office.
