A Note from Dr. Obrokta
"Tidewater Virginia is a great place to call home. Grandchildren love to visit me. No matter what the season, we can have fun! To have all that southeastern Virginia offers and be a part of the only free-standing hospital in the state dedicated to the care of children is a dream come true."
