Justin “JB” Navarro, DO is a board-certified Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine with TPMG Indian River Family Medicine in Chesapeake. He earned his Bachelor of Science from Old Dominion University in Norfolk and his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM) in Blacksburg, Virginia. Furthering his medical training, Dr. Navarro completed his Family Medicine Residency, where he served as Chief Resident at Eastern Virginia Medical School Family and Community Medicine in Norfolk. He is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the Virginia Academy of Family Physicians (VAFP), and the American Medical Association (AMA). Dr. Navarro joined TPMG Indian River Family Medicine in 2024.

Dr. Navarro gained valuable experience as a volunteer EMT for the city of Virginia Beach in Kempsville for three years before finishing his medical training. His parents, who immigrated to America from the Philippines after completing nursing school, inspired his passion for helping others and his love for continued education. These factors naturally led him to pursue a career in medicine.

Believing that good health is a continuous journey and not a final destination, Dr. Navarro forms long­ term professional relationships with his patients. He makes an effort to get to know them beyond their medical conditions to guide them toward improving their health. Dr. Navarro believes that achieving your health goals requires daily work, not just during office visits, and he strives to provide comprehensive education and recommendations that align with patient goals and the latest health science.

Dr. Navarro sees patients across all age groups, from newborns to those of advanced age, addressing a variety of acute and chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and mental health concerns. He also has a special medical interest in lifestyle medicine, obesity medicine, wellness visits, sports physicals, joint injections, skin biopsies, and women’s health.

When he isn’t in the office, Dr. Navarro enjoys soccer, golf, traveling with his wife and their daughter, caring for his two dogs, and trying his hand as an amateur chef. As a graduate of Old Dominion University, Dr. Navarro and his family fell in love with the Hampton Roads community. He loves the community’s proximity to great restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, and more.

Dr. Navarro warmly welcomes patients to make an appointment to see him at TPMG Indian River Family Medicine.
