About Dr. Sherita Chapman
Academic Neurologist. Stroke Leader. Precision Care.
Dr. Sherita N. Chapman is a dual board-certified neurologist in general and vascular neurology, fellowship-trained at the University of Virginia. She serves as Stroke Section Chief for the Central Virginia VA Health Care System and holds an appointment as Associate Professor of Neurology.
As a neurologist in Richmond, her career has centered on clinical leadership, stroke systems innovation, and academic scholarship. She has contributed to federally funded clinical trials through NIH StrokeNet, published in peer-reviewed journals, delivered national and international lectures, secured competitive grant funding, and holds a U.S. patent for a telemedicine platform designed to enhance stroke assessment.
Bare Face RVA was created to offer something more focused.
Not rushed.
Not fragmented.
Not impersonal.
Philosophy
A Refined Focus in Migraine, Stroke, and Neuromodulation
Nearly a decade ago, Dr. Chapman began offering OnabotulinumtoxinA as part of comprehensive migraine management. As a migraine patient herself — initially skeptical of Botox for migraine — she did not anticipate how transformative it could be.
Instead, patient after patient reported fewer migraine days, reduced severity, and meaningful improvements in daily function. Many described her injection technique as precise, gentle, and low-anxiety.
Around that same time, she expanded her work in spasticity treatment for post-stroke patients. She witnessed individuals regain mobility and functional independence years after plateauing. Those outcomes reframed neuromodulation in her practice — not cosmetic, but restorative.
Today, Bare Face RVA centers on three core areas:
Chronic migraine treatment and preventive optimization
Post-stroke follow-up and secondary prevention
Targeted Botox therapy for spasticity and select neurologic conditions
Cosmetic Botox is offered thoughtfully and with restraint — grounded in advanced knowledge of facial anatomy and neuromuscular function. The aesthetic approach prioritizes balance, preserved expression, and natural movement.
The foundation of the practice remains medical. The majority of patients seek care for migraine and neurological conditions.
Approach to Care
Dr. Chapman believes sophisticated neurologic care should also feel personal.
Her approach emphasizes:
Precise dosing and anatomical accuracy
Evidence-based migraine and stroke protocols
Calm, patient-centered communication
Natural, movement-preserving results
Continuity with a physician-led model
Every patient is evaluated and treated directly by Dr. Chapman. The setting is intentionally boutique — quiet, focused, and designed to reduce anxiety.
Neurologic conditions affect more than symptoms. They affect confidence, independence, and identity.
Dr. Chapman believes restoring function and preserving self-expression are aligned goals. Whether providing migraine treatment, stroke follow-up, spasticity management, or aesthetic neuromodulation, her work reflects one guiding principle:
Precision matters.
Experience matters.
Intentional care matters.
Bare Face RVA represents neurologist-led care — refined, focused, and deeply personal.
