We go to MCV in Richmond. The doctors there now are DRs Schmidt, Rubin, and Williams. Dr Rubin is very well known in the research world. We usually see Dr. Schmidt. I cannot say enough about Dr Schmidt. We love everything about him. I have a few friends that take their children to the military cf clinic in Norfolk and they do NOT like it there.

Here are statistics of the centers in this area/discussed in this thread; listed in order of their average lung function. As I've posted before, numbers only tell part of the story (they won't tell you how personable the team is, etc), but it's an important part to know going in when choosing a center, since it's a reflection of the health of the children under the care of the team at that particular clinic- i.e. how effective their methods and mindset are.
