RVA Pediatrics- Ridgefield

I can’t say enough amazing things about Dr. de Silva She is truly the best pediatrician and one of the kindest, most compassionate people I’ve ever met. From day one, she has treated us like family — always patient, gentle, and so genuine with her care. She listens, never rushes, and somehow manages to make every visit feel calm and comforting (even when I’m stressed!). She goes above and beyond in every single way. You can tell she truly cares — not just about her patients, but about their parents too. I trust her completely, and honestly, we would drive across the entire country just to keep her as our pediatrician. We’re so lucky to have her.

5 Stars – The Best Pediatrician Around! We feel incredibly lucky to have Dr. Hawthorn as our pediatrician. He without a doubt the best – not only highly skilled but also truly gifted at working with children and parents. From the moment he walks into the room, he puts everyone at ease. He listens intently, takes the time to really hear what you have to say, and somehow makes you feel like you've known him forever – all without making the visit feel long or drawn out. He’s efficient but also present, which is such a rare and appreciated balance. What really sets Dr. Hawthorn apart is the way he connects with kids. He greets our children with a big smile and a high five, asks them about their lives, and genuinely makes them feel comfortable and valued. Because of him, our kids actually loo

Make sure to read their FAQs on vaccination. Don’t question any of the 94 shots the conflicted CDC has put on the childhood schedule (Denmark has 31 shots and less than half the autism rate of the US). Assume they are receiving the financial bonuses from pushing them all despite parent concerns and they don’t want to discuss this topic too much. They kicked us out for questioning. $$$ Do your homework.

We have had a wonderful experience with this pediatrics group. Our normal physician, Dr. Christian, is fantastic, but all of the medical staff at the various offices have been caring, professional, and have been great with the kids. A number of reviews have mentioned issues with the wait list - I really value the sick child visit policy in being able to see a physician without an appointment any day. I've never had to wait more than 30 minutes, and now that the other offices are also open for sick visits the wait has been further reduced. Would highly recommend this office for anyone looking for the continuity of the same pediatrician for well visits while having the flexibility to see a provider on your schedule for sick visits.

We’ve had a great experience so far with Doctors, nurses, lactation consultants. It seems like most of the low reviews are due to the front desk. I haven’t had an issue at all. Perhaps one phone call encounter, it seemed like she was a bit rushed and short but we got our appt scheduled and questions answered regardless. I think that if the medical care provided is great, it doesn’t warrant a 1 star review. Just my opinion though. Would and have recommend this practice to friends.
