Seeking OB Recommendation for DC or NOVA

[[e-mail]]

We're expecting our third child and couldn't be happier -- but for the fact that my favorite OB has moved too far away. The practice she left, headquartered at WHC with a smaller office on F St., has become too impersonal and busy in the four years since I last delivered.

Can you recommend a small, patient-focused practice, run by a doctor(s) with good bed-side manner and a sense of humor? I live in SE and work downtown, so I'm amenable to a practice in the District or Northern Virginia. I had terrific experiences at WHC and Alexandria INOVA, so either hospital would be ideal. And, during my first pregnancy I worked with a mid-wife, at the practice now solely run by Dr. Bridges, so a midwife suggestion would also be great.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

While I don't have risky pregnancies, I do tend to be miserable most of the time with intense nausea and vomiting, so really love a little TLC. As it is I called my current docs office at 9 this morning seeking relief, and 8 hours later no one has called me back!

Thank you!

Drs Kacedan and Dr Wolf- in Fairfax- Dr wolf is a former midwife- both are terrific- if you google reviews on them you'll find only major positive reviews- both have gotten best ob accolades from washingtonian and washington family or parent magazine- staff is super too and that is VERY important- you will always feel like you are the only patient when you see them- and you are! they focus on you- they delivered two children and dealt with major infertility and scared issues and then not on second one- still felt special.. recommended them to friends and have ALL come back agreeing they are wonderful and the best.
