Good High Risk OB that Delivers at Holy Cross, but NOT Capital Women's Care

He is awesome! He has twins himself and he also had me see the MFM doctor in the same building--he is attached to Holy Cross, like in the physicians part! I was delivered by Dr. Morales, who was beyond amazing. And I also love, love Dr. Wilson. You cannot go wrong with them! Best wishes!

Just to add to PP, unfortunately, Dr. Klienmann doesn't do labor and delivery anymore. He was absolutely fantastic while I was trying to conceive. I switched to another OB, Dr. Sweta Patel who was a real sweetheart. I met nearly all of the other delivering OBs at OB-Gyn and associates during the later weeks of my pregnancy. They were all very pleasant and knowledgeable. Good luck!

I'm that PP. I was high risk due to 2 miscarriages, a stillbirth at 28 weeks (placental abruption), a uterine anomaly and advanced maternal age. I switched to CWC from RHJN and couldn't have been happier. I delivered via scheduled c section at 37 weeks (Sosin did the surgery). At CWC, I didn't particularly like Dr. Band's bedside manner though he seemed like a knowledgeable person. Anyway, everyone at CWC in that office was very kind and compassionate in my pregnancy after numerous (and traumatic) loss. They did a good job coordinating with Pinckert too. If I ever try again, I hope to stick with that team.

Wow so sorry for your previous losses. Thanks for elaborating. I will definitely check out that team.

I also switched from RHJN to Capital women's care and I was really glad I did. I saw most of the doctors there throughout my pregnancy and felt comfortable with all of them . I wasn't a high risk pregnancy aside from being AMA but I did have episodes of bleeding throughout my pregnancy which they monitored. Dr. Lizardo delivered my baby and I thought he did a great job. Dr. Sine is also really good.
Everyone has different experiences with different practices. I had a bad experience with Reiter Hill Johnson and Nevin when I had an early miscarriage which is why I went with Capital women's care, but I know people who had good experiences with them. So just because your friend had a bad experience doesn't mean that you will too.

NP here. I'm 30 weeks pregnant with twins and currently with GW despite the fact that Holy Cross is MUCH more conveniently located. The other thread on GW and c sections is making me really nervous about being able to manage with twins and no nursery. I feel like I'm getting good care at GW, but all the suggestions here are making me reconsider the Holy Cross/CWC options. Do you think it's crazy to switch this late in the game? Do you think practices will even take me in the 3rd tri with twins? Right now I'm seeing an MFM regularly at GW which is reassuring and I doubt I'd get to do that if I switch.

Does Holy Cross have a nursery?
