Patient Reviews
May 16, 2023
Dr. Zhao is wonderful. A patient and knowledgeable Nephrologist, and if you are looking for an office staff that is just as wonderful you don't need to look any further than the Leigh Office where Joviany works. She is one of the best office/assistant personnel you will ever deal with in any doctors' office. Dr. Zhao is wonderful and it is Joviany who helps make their office great. You can not go wrong if you are looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, above and beyond patient oriented practice than the Tidewater Kidney Associates - Leigh Office on Kempsville Road. I just can't say enough about Joviany who will make you feel that you are her number one concern and never loses her patience, and Dr. Zhao who takes the time to explain any questions you have. The best place to go to if you have chronic kidney disease.
