Delivering/Pediatrician at Georgetown University Hospital

You may already know this, but Dr. Buek does really early morning hours (his first appt is at 6:45 or maybe even 6:30). It's easier to get in then, and the wait time is also much better. Also, they let you schedule up to 3 appts at a time, so you can schedule for a few months ahead (if you're at a point where you're still only going in once a month).

I just received notice that Dr. Buek is leaving GUH on December 31st.

Do you know where he is going?

The letter states that he will assume the role of OB residency program director at Washington Hospital Center.

I had my appt w Dr Buek today and asked what the deal was.

He is taking a role of leading the residency program at Washington Hospital Center AND at GU. He is hoping that in a year he will return to seeing patients on a part-time basis at GU.

Thanks for the update. I am very happy to hear that Dr Buek might be back at GU, even if it's a remote possibility at this point.

This reply is a little late for this thread, but I have been seeing Dr. Yuri at Georgetown and love him. We have had a fantastic experience. His bed side manner is really great and I have never felt rushed through my appts. At every appointment he has sat down and talked with us for as long as we have questions.

Funny - that is not my experience with Dr Yuri at all.

I used to see Buek and was pregnant when he moved positions so I needed to select a new primary Dr at GT. I was at the point in my pregnancy when I was rotating through meeting the drs during my scheduled appts each month and I had a few questions to ask dr Yuri to get to know him better. His response was that I should schedule an appt if I wanted to talk about his experience, POV etc. that he had a lot of patients to see and did not have time to talk abou this.

I was really turned off as he had not even spent 5 minutes with me for my appointment. I would have thought that from a scheduling POV they would have allocated at least 10 minutes for a Dr to see a patient and that he could have given me 5 minutes before cutting me off.

My experience with Dr. Yuri has been similar. With me he has been rude, abrupt, and seemed overburdened/overwhelmed--like most doctors. No interest in the patient--which is ok... Just because you are a doctor does not mean it was your calling.

I could have dealt with all that, but he also missed a major recommendation that makes me not trust him. I hear he is leaving, but I still want to switch to GW.

I am glad I am not the only person who has had issues with Wulf!! I see Gorman - she is good and will answer all of your questions. I have delivered all of my children (four and working on 5) at GT and for the most part it has been a good experience. Try for Breen she is good and really good when things are getting tough

Breen is nice, but if there are no problems with your pregnancy, she is VERY brief- in and out in a few minutes. Gorman was willing to spend much more time with me. I also liked Bowles-Johnson.

yep - I recently received a letter that Yuri is leaving
