Legal Question in Consumer Law in Virginia

writing autobiography

I am writing an autobiography, and I woyld like to know if I need written permission to use my doctors names?

I am not writing anything derogatory, just saying tests they ran, diagnoses given, and general information.

I just know the legal situation in using their names.
