Dr. Goradia is BACK!!
Dr. Laura Goradia left our practice in August, 2013, to move to Houston, Texas with her husband. Although we have been trying hard to replace her since then, the task has proven quite difficult. Imagine our joy, then, when she decided to return to Richmond and re-join Wiley & Arkin Pediatrics. She returned August 1, and appointments are available.
