Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Harris-Proctor is the best!
She is so welcoming and caring. She is my favorite doctor. Just one downside is that she was about 40 mins late with no notice from the office.

Dr Harris-Proctor
She is sensitive, caring, brilliant with a top bedside manner. She is my favorite doctor because she looks at you and doesn’t spend the time on her computer keying in the facts. She makes you feel like you are the only patient she has. 5 stars do not do her justice. She is a ten all the way!

Hands down the best OBGYN
The GFW is a pleasant experience from start to finish. Dr. Harris-Proctor is very informative and gives all possibilities and outcomes. The office layout is visually appealing. The staff is friendly and I've been a patient there for going on 7 years now. I still love it there.

Loved her!
Dr. Harris-Proctor saw me for an urgent follow-up when my primary GYN was unavailable. No one wants to deal with a stranger for GYN issues but Dr. Harris-Proctor was amazing! She had been updated on my history prior to arriving in the exam room and asked all of the critical questions so that I felt completely comfortable. We ended up agreeing to a biopsy which she talked me through with care and confidence and called me back personally with the results. I still love my primary GYN but will definitely request Dr. Harris-Proctor in the future if he is ever unavailable.

One of the best in her field!
Dr. Harris-Proctor began by putting me at ease, and examined me thoroughly yet painlessly. Her credentials are impeccable, yet she was down-to-earth and took time to listen and answer all my questions. There was a slight concern for which she recommended a follow-up ultrasound. Clearly she is invested in the well-being of her patients.

Compassionate and caring
Dr. Denise Harris-Proctor is truly one of the most compassionate and knowledgeable doctors I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. When I first moved down here from NY, I was nervous about having to start over in finding providers until I met her. I feel so blessed to be her patient. She makes sure you are comfortable, puts you at ease, and answers all of your questions. She is so dedicated to her patients and cares about their health.

The Best in Hampton Roads
I have had a lot of OB/ GYNs throughout the US but Dr. Harris-Proctor is the best. Her warmth, gentleness, and kind spirit are amazing. She is smart and provides you information in great detail. I've never felt rushed or just another patient. She is worth the wait! Her nurses are always kind as well.

Dr. Harris- Proctor is an outstanding physician. Her demeanor is soothing and she delivers care with compassion. She is always thorough and very knowledgeable. I love the way she makes sure to discuss options instead of just telling me what to do. I love that she cares about my feelings about whatever medication or procedure may be needed.

Incredible Gynecologist
Dr Harris-Proctor is an incredible physician. She makes you so comfortable even while having to do very invasive procedures (pap smear, breast exam). Her kind, warm and friendly manner are engaging and I feel like liberty to ask questions which she provides great answers. She is an amazing gynecologist!
