Services
Telemedicine visits are available with the doctors and nurse practitioners at the Pediatric Center for many different medical concerns. Fever or sick concerns that are not appropriate for telemedicine will be seen in the office. You may call to schedule an appointment with the doctor or nurse practitioner of your choice at your preferred time or you can ask for a same day telemedicine appointment. When you call, the scheduling staff will confirm the number of your cell phone number where you want to be called for your video appointment.
The Pediatric Center has been happily caring for the children of Richmond since 1962. For decades, we have strived to provide excellent pediatric care in a warm and welcoming setting and were recently recognized by Style Weekly readers as a "Family Favorite" practice. The care of children has certainly gone through many exciting changes since the Pediatric Center opened its doors in 1962.
The Pediatric Center strives to provide the most comprehensive and evidence-based medicine to care for your child and your family. Our practice has followed and will continue to follow the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and AAP advocated Recommended Immunization Schedule for Children and Adolescents Aged 18 years or Younger published yearly to achieve the goal of universal immunization.

I have been going here for the last 7 years and have always had great experiences. All of the staff members have been friendly and helpful. I have been to the John Rolfe location and VCC location and seen numerous different doctors. They have all been great! We see Dr. Port most often, and she has always been wonderful.

We have been bringing our daughters to the Pediatric Center for about five years now. We see Dr. Marks and are very thankful for his kindness and attention to their health. We have had great experiences with their staff and most of the physicians that we have seen. I have recommended this practice to friends and am very happy with it. We visit the VCC and John Rolfe locations and both are nice. The kids always appreciate the sea creatures and ocean themes, and they love seeing the fish tanks at John Rolfe

I gave a second try to this pediatric office. I was excited to have them close to my home and was optimistic to start. I did not remember why I stopped coming so I thought it must be a little thing. From entering the office I was treated unprofessionaly. The lady at the front office was so rude. She was assuming I was coming late when I arrived on time and checked in online.
As soon as I arrived I parked, checked in and did the covid test online. My daughter was thirsty and asked for a drink right then. So I took her accross the doctor's office to get that while we were called. We were actually paying for the drink while they called us. So we came back and we're at their door 2-3 min later. The lady stated we were late and she was not sure they could see us.
Instead of checking on the situation she was with an attitude. And then she said you have not completed any forms we sent you either so we might not see you. I asked her where did she send these forms because I had not received anything. She gave me an old phone number. I told her I updated my information when I scheduled this last appointment and they should have used that.
They had my right number but forgot to delete the old and were trying to blame it on me. All of these interactions made my experience quite stressful and uncomfortable. The doctor was okay; however, no one called me with my daughter's results. They were supposed to contact me, specially because I was taking her to them to check her health after an ER visit. No more chances for this place.

Do not go here. A pediatrician was recommended to me and when I couldn't get an appointment with her, I decided to try someone else. This was a mistake. The doctor I saw was extremely condescending and uneducated. She was actually giving me false information about my child's health and completely making up diagnosis's. She ordered an unnecessary test even though my child's charts from the hospital were completely normal.
I was flustered and obliged, but of course his results all came back normal. There were several other unfortunate instances where she was attempting to give unsolicited and false information about my child's health. It was definitely more of an accusatory appointment than a health checkup for my newborn. Just another power hungry doctor with a superiority complex trying to assert themselves. Listen to the rest of the bad reviews about this place and don't go.

I am very happy with my experiences at The Pediatric Center (John Rolfe)! With my first call to set up a new patient appointment for my son, I was surprised at how seamlessly the whole process went. The woman on the phone quickly confirmed my insurance and set up a visit for that weekend! Location and parking are super convenient. When we checked in, the receptionist was very polite.
My son barely had time to enjoy the fish in the waiting room aquarium, because our wait time was so short! We saw Dr Schneider who was warm, down-to-earth, and explained EVERYTHING (to both me AND my toddler son). She didn't try to scare or guilt trip me about anything. I felt listened to, respected, informed, and reassured. As we were leaving, I stopped to let my son look at the fish, and the receptionist double-checked with me just to make sure I wasn't waiting on anything. We've moved a lot and seen our fair share of pediatricians, and this whole experience at The Pediatric Center was refreshingly easy and straight-forward.
