Dr. Beth Jaklic

Dr. Beth Jaklic is a board-certified colon and rectal surgeon with over 25 years of experience, now limiting her practice to colonoscopy and joining forces with Dr. Keith Berger to continue serving patients. She received her bachelor’s degree from Emory University before graduating from the University of Virginia School of Medicine in 1990.  She then served for over 22 years as a general and colorectal surgeon in the Navy, retiring as a Captain.  She performed her surgery residency at National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda (now Walter Reed) and spent the last 12 years of her Navy career mainly in Hampton Roads, at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, where she served as the Program Director of the General Surgery residency.  Dr. Jaklic completed her colon and rectal surgery fellowship at the University of Minnesota in 2000, and has made Virginia Beach her home ever since.  After retiring from the Navy in 2012 she continued to practice colon and rectal surgery for more than 7 years at Chesapeake Regional Medical Center, and is now very pleased to be working with Dr. Berger to provide colonoscopy services for patients in the Hampton Roads area.   

Dr. Jaklic is Board Certified in Colon and Rectal Surgery, and is a Fellow with the American College of Surgeons and American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons. She has also achieved impressive accolades during her career including: serving as the first female doctor assigned to a Marine unit (Okinawa, 1991), first female ships’ surgeon while assigned to the USS George Washington (1997-1999), and has been consecutively recognized as “Top Doctor” by Coastal Virginia Magazine five times (2015-2019).  

Originally from Ohio, Dr. Jaklic was born and raised in Cleveland. She is married with two children and enjoys traveling and reading in her spare time.

Thank you so much for the kind and tender treatment I received on my recent visit. . . I hope 10 years from now I’ll remember how easy this was! You are a top notch group of people and I appreciate each one of you – from the front desk to everyone in the back! I know the Lord sent me to the right place!

PLEASE tell Dr. Berger how much I appreciated his efficiency and painless procedure.  And tell his IV nurse that that was the most painless IV that I ever had.  I was so impressed with all of you.

A sincere thanks to all of you for being so nice when I had my upper endoscopy. Words can’t express my appreciation to Dr. Berger for his understanding and patience. . .    I delayed having this procedure for a long time, knowing this would be a problem – maybe insurmountable.  I was so embarrassed at my difficulty, but you . . .solved the problem. You’re terrific and I am grateful.

A few weeks ago I visited your office for a long overdue ‘routine’ colonoscopy.  I was surprised how painless and unembarrassing it was.  To my surprise, Dr. Berger told me he found a large polyp that he was able to remove.  Yikes!  Thank God everything turned out okay, but I am extremely grateful to you and your fantastic team (thanks Linda!) for helping me through this!  You are all wonderful!
