| Title says it all. Also open to recommendations for LGBTQ+ friendly OBs. |

Katie DePalma (midwife with GW not OB though) was the absolute best, but I think she left the practice recently and I don't know if she moved or if she's taking a well-deserved break.
I'm sure others will have suggestions but you can also reach out to Rainbow Families -- I'm sure they'll have good up to date info for you. |

| If you’re looking for an MFM, Dr. Gallagher, a MFM with GWU MFA. She sent her patients a letter a couple of weeks ago noting that she has been experiencing gender dysphoria and now identifies as a she/her. She truly offers superb care. |

| +1 to Dr. Light. If you are OK with a catholic hospital, there's also Dr. Orta Nieves at Georgetown. |

I wish her all of the best. She’s a highly skilled mfm. |

The post is asking for LGBTQ+ FRIENDLY doctors, not doctors that identify that way themselves. Congratulations if you never experienced doctors being obnoxious about your gender or family situation, but that is not the case for many of us. OP, I find the GW doctors very LGBTQ+ friendly. I've complaints here about how this front desk staff sucks and that's all true, but might be worth it for you. |

DP but that’s not what this post is asking at all. Reading comprehension, PP, practice up! |

If none of the above recommendations work out, I bet that the Inova Pride Clinic could recommend one to you.
