GW

How are they now? Two years ago, all the obs were leaving and it was nearly impossible to get appointments. Wondering if I should stick to them or find a new practice

I just found out I was pregnant and was able to schedule appointments easily. Seems like they’ve hired a lot of new providers too since I had MULTIPLE options of scheduling which definitely wasn’t the case before!

Called on Monday and got an appointment right away.

My friend who is further along than me, met two of the new doctors and said they were fantastic!

No. I almost died there

Which ones? That’s great news!

I was with them last year at this time. It was great then. Their downsizing seemed to act as a 'right sizing'.

Dr. LaTortue and Dr. Jilich were who my friend saw. Loved them both!

by right away do you mean to be seen right away or they scheduled you immediately for 12 weeks? I ended up miscarrying so it didn't matter but when i called in october they would only schedule me for 12 weeks

Sorry for your loss. I was able to schedule for 8 and I think if you mention your loss, they can fit you in then too.

Wow good to know- if I'm able to get pregnant again I'll definitely try. They did nurse screening by phone at 8 weeks and genetics at 10 on zoom but no in person until 12 weeks

care to elaborate?

I think 12 week scheduling for the first in person is standard at GW now. If you recently had a miscarriage they may be willing to schedule for 8. I am happy with my scheduling this time around- night and day from two years ago, but then the OBs I loved are gone too.

Same here. I don’t know any of the OBs that they offer to schedule me with anymore. Not to sound ageist but many seem young and inexperienced.

That’s because GW is a teaching hospital and they go through staff like a revolving door. If you don’t want the risk of a rookie OB go to a private practice.
