VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Jan. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Urology of Virginia, a practice based in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia, is marking its 100th year of providing comprehensive and innovative urological care. With the main office located in Virginia Beach, the practice has expanded into multiple office locations in the region with globally renowned cancer treatment and reconstructive centers within the main location to better serve and treat patients.
Urology of Virginia was founded in 1922 by Dr. Charles Devine Sr. after training with Dr. Hugh Hampton Young at Johns Hopkins, and continued growing in the 1950s when both of Devine’s sons joined the practice. The practice has gained an international reputation for the groundbreaking work in genitourinary reconstructive surgeries, developing techniques that are still used today. Their dedication and passion to education led to the creation of a residency program in 1965. Urology of Virginia was instrumental in the establishment of Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) in the 1970s and became one of the first established departments within the school. Most recently, our physicians working in the Sentara Norfolk General Department of Urology were ranked 23rd in the nation by US News & World Reports, a distinction that recognizes our quality and leadership in providing high-quality care in Hampton Roads.
