Where can you still find a family doctor who practices the good, old‑fashioned art of medicine—personal attention, genuine listening, careful follow‑up—while also being fully equipped with the latest medical knowledge? In Farmville, in the heart of the Commonwealth of Virginia, there is one: Dr. Victor Adaniel of Southside Medical Practice, PLLC.
If you are searching for a physician who treats patients with both modern expertise and timeless compassion, look no further. Among the medical practitioners in Southside Virginia, Dr. Adaniel stands out—not only to our family, but to many of my friends and colleagues. He is knowledgeable, thorough, respectful, confident, prompt, and consistently cheerful. His entire team reflects his example with diligence and kindness.
Dr. Adaniel has cared for my 90‑year‑old mother, my husband, and me since he joined the practice. He put my Filipino mother at ease from the very first visit. With her limited English, she immediately trusted him—so much so that even in the emergency room, she refused treatment until I contacted Dr. Adaniel for his approval. That is the depth of confidence he inspires.
To my husband, Dr. Adaniel is nothing short of a hero. Over the years, he has saved my husband’s life not once, but multiple times:
• The first episode: Shortly after COVID, I found my husband slumped over the dining table, cold‑sweating and unable to move his legs. He insisted on seeing Dr. Adaniel instead of calling an ambulance. Within minutes, Dr. Adaniel recognized the severity of the situation and had him rushed to the ER. I arrived to find paramedics resuscitating him—he had gone into cardiac arrest and was airlifted to Lynchburg Hospital. Without Dr. Adaniel’s swift action, he would not have survived.
• The second episode: My husband developed a 106‑degree fever and severe shaking. A nearby walk‑in clinic dismissed it as kidney stones and sent him home with antibiotics. His condition worsened. At Dr. Adaniel’s urgent insistence, he went to the ER, where a catheter had to be inserted immediately—his bladder was dangerously close to rupturing. Had he boarded the international flight he was scheduled to take, the pressure at altitude could have been fatal.
• The third episode: When a local urologist failed to act on my husband’s extremely high PSA, Dr. Adaniel intervened. He referred him to a top specialist at VCU, where we learned my husband had advanced, complicated, terminal cancer. Because of Dr. Adaniel’s vigilance, the cancer’s progression was slowed, giving us precious time together.
If not for Dr. Victor Adaniel, my husband would not be alive today. His quick thinking, medical expertise, and unwavering follow‑up have prolonged my husband’s life and allowed our 3½‑year‑old grandson to continue learning from his beloved “Lolo Baloo.”
Our family holds the deepest appreciation and immense pride in having this extraordinary healing doctor in our lives. He is a rare gift to this community—and to us.“
