Expectant and Postpartum Moms
| I am shopping for an OB, and I like what I've read about Dr. Tchabo. My only concern is that, because he is a solo practitioner, he might not be able to be there during my delivery. Do you know who covers for him? I called the office, explaining why I wanted to know, but they would not tell me since I am not their patient yet.... |

I go to Women's Health Corp in McLean, the Armstrong/Bannon group, and they listed Dr. Tchabo as one of the Dr's in their call rotation. So maybe they cover for him also. |
| Armstrong and Bannon cover for him. The reality is that he's getting older and I think trying to scale back on the long days/late nights. If you have a pregnancy/delivery that needs his expert, open-minded care (twins, breech, VBAC, etc.), I think that the long office waits and call rotation would be worth it. But if you have a normal, healthy pregnancy with no "special features," I might suggest broadening your search. Just from a time/hassle perspective. |
| Thank you for this info! |
| The Bannon/Armstrong group is excellent as an alternative~ I have delivered one with them and am about to deliver #2. |
They are wonderful. I go through them and delivered two with them. |
