Dr. Khadijah Jordan is a Chesapeake, Virginia-based obstetrician and gynecologist. A trailblazer and leader in the Hampton Roads healthcare community, Dr. Jordan is also Chief of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Chesapeake Regional Medical Center. She is the first woman to serve in this capacity in the history of Chesapeake Regional Medical Center and has been re-elected for a second term. She is also President-Elect of the Chesapeake Medical Society, a position that is a testament to the high regard and esteem in which Dr. Jordan is held by her peers.
Dr. Jordan epitomizes the spirit embodied in the idea of a medical hero. Chesapeake General is a preferred facility for expecting parents. The reason is simple. Dr. Jordan leads a staff that sincerely cares about the health and well-being of mothers and their newborns. They've created an environment that is state of the art, where patients have access to the latest advancements in the field of obstetrics, and one that at the same time is comfortable and nurturing. Dr. Jordan has also led efforts to make the latest procedures in women's healthcare available at Chesapeake General. For instance, she recently instituted Novasure Endometrial Ablations, a new procedure that provides women relief from menstrual complications, and in doing so improves the quality of their lives.
The same level of care, attentiveness, and innovation is reflected in Dr. Jordan's medical practice, which is situated right next door to Chesapeake General Hospital. Dr. Jordan's office is patient-friendly and state-of-the-art in every way.
At the center of all this is the person of Dr. Khadijah Jordan. In spite of her many achievements and accomplishments, Dr. Jordan is an amazingly humble and down-to-earth person. She has a special way with her patients. She talks to her patients and takes time to hear their concerns. Dr. Jordan treats her patients with such great dignity and respect. She always emphasizes overall healthcare and goes out of her way to make sure patients are educated about the broader scope of pregnancy and delivery, linking them with classes on a range of relevant topics, including childbirth, caring for newborns, breastfeeding, and CPR. One day while sitting in her waiting room, I overheard a patient refer to Dr. Jordan as an angel.
I was blessed to have this angel of a doctor in my life this past June when I gave birth to my son. Dr. Jordan stood by me and held my hand during a pregnancy and delivery that occurred during a period of great change and transformation in my life. She made an otherwise stressful situation both comfortable and rewarding.
Dr. Jordan is an inspiration to so many people. I speak for many women here in Hampton Roads when I say that Dr. Jordan is a model doctor, and indeed, a medical hero.
