Get to know Fertility Specialist Dr. Robin L. Poe-Zeigler, who serves patients in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Dr. Poe-Zeigler’s medical story is one that is driven by love, passion, and a constant desire to spread hope. In 1982, she lost her mother to breast cancer- a loss that would shape her medical career forever. She started medical school with a focus on gynecologic cancer, trying to help women who suffered the same way her mother did, but as she progressed through school, she realized that this course caused her to frequently relive the loss of her mother. So, instead of focusing on cancer and potential death, Dr. Poe-Zeigler changed directions to focus on infertility and potential life. To this day, this still brings joy and great meaning to her life.

After finishing medical school at Eastern Virginia Medical School and her 4 year residency at the York Hospital in York, Pennsylvania, Dr. Poe-Zeigler was awarded a fellowship at the Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine in Norfolk, Virginia. Four years later, she opened The New Hope Center for Reproductive Medicine “on a wing and a prayer.”

Since the practice’s opening in 1997, Dr. Poe-Zeigler has helped bring over 3,000 babies to loving families all across the world. In the almost 20 years that New Hope has been open, Dr. Robin and the New Hope team have perfected a unique, personal and boutique style fertility center, where patients are family. While clinical excellence and success mark her professional career, it is her hugs and compassionate style of care that have become Dr. Poe-Zeigler’s trademark.

Dr. Poe-Zeigler is also affiliated with several hospitals in the area, including Sentara Leigh Hospital and Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.

Dr. Poe-Zeigler is board-certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology, as well as Reproductive Endocrinology/Infertility by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The ABOG is a non-profit organization that board certifies obstetricians and gynecologists (OB GYNS) and offers continuing certification to OB GYNS in the United States and Canada. Their mission is to define specialty standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.

Dr. Poe-Zeigler is a Fellow of The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG). Founded in 1951, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is the specialty’s premier professional membership organization dedicated to the improvement of women’s health.

An OB-GYN, or obstetrician-gynecologist, is a doctor who specializes in women’s health.

REI is an area of medicine that addresses hormonal functioning as it pertains to reproduction and infertility in both women and men. As an OB-GYN & Fertility Specialist, Dr. Poe Zeigler’s clinical interests include cervical disease, abdominal surgery, adolescent gynecology, fertility, gynecologic surgery, menstrual disorders, ovarian problems, hormone therapy, and many more.
