I had been on a European Cruise in early July 2023, and when flying back to the United States I developed a blood clot in my lower left leg.

DrTurner is very caring. When my son passed away he was so helpful in letting me vent and cry . He listened and gave me courage and he was very concerned and showed so much compassion. An excellent dr!
I have been a patient of Dr. Robert Turner for many years. He is an excellent doctor and easier to get an appointment with since he joined MDVIP. He is very thorough and explains things well re. my annual physical. He usually calls me back when I have a medical question. He was also my mother's physician for many years, and she thought he was an excellent doctor, also.

I met my Dr Turner 30 years ago when I had my first heart attack. I have been with him ever since. Last year when I was 78 I went to the office and I could always see him for a head ache. When I saw the Nurse see did a few minor checks and ran out to call Dr. Turner. They came back together and wheeled me into the Hospital. I was in danger of a stroke. They put a pacemaker in because my heart… See more
Doctor Robert Turner has been a true family doctor as he was the Primary Care Physician for my parents as well as for my husband and me. He looks at you as an individual with cares and concerns not just a medical patient. He offers comfort in confronting a bad diagnosis. Back in the day when your Primary Care doctor was your managing doctor in the hospital, his daily rounds were such a comfort… See more
One Christmas several years ago I was on a ladder decorating the outside of our house. I began to feel exhausted and felt pressure in my chest. When I saw him he told me he did not like what he saw and heard. He sent me for a complete cardiac workup. After a quick diagnostic session I was scheduled for bypass surgery. Dr. Robert Turner is very thorough and I have complete faith in his… See more
When we first moved to Richmond, I selected a physician in a group practice for my primary care needs. The group had a good community reputation; however, I soon realized that I was caught up in "5 minute medicine" and a prescription for everything. I decided that it was time to switch to a new physician. After much checking and an interview, the decision was Dr. Turner. He is a… See more
Dr. Turner is an amazing doctor! He is not an alarmist but is very thorough and patient. I am very thankful for him! Dr. Turner is a blessing, and I know I can always get in touch with him when I need to.
My appointments with Dr. Turner are like visits with an old friend as I am always very comfortable walking through the door.
I have been with the root practice of James River Primary Care for over 60 years and Dr. Turner is the only the 3rd primary care physician that I have ever had and by far the best.
He is very competent, intelligent and most of all caring. He always listens… See more
