Expectant and Postpartum Moms
| I am very early in my pregnancy and would like to switch to another doctor. I am currently at Capital Womens Care. I do not like the large practice or the team at the front desk. I would like a doctor in Bethesda, a small practice with priviledges at Holy Cross if possible as I will be having a C-section. Thanks for your recommendations! |
| Dr. Richard Footer has an office in Bethesda a few blocks from the Metro and he only delivers at Holy Cross. He is a solo practitioner with the same person at the front desk each time you go. |

| I go to OBGYN and Assoc. in the HC medical building attached to the hospital. While it is a large practice and I cycled through all the docs while pregnant with #1, I only saw one doc while I was pregnant with #2 (my choice) and I had a scheduled c with that doc. The front desk folks are nice. The nurses are nice. And the sono ladies are fabulous. I have to say, having in-house sono and lab is very convenient. And quite frankly, I couldn't imagine going to a routine appt and having the doc be concerned enough to order a sono and then have to schedule it elsewhere and then follow up with the doc again. |
| Maybe just me, but found that a lot of Bethesda docs don't deliver at HC? If that's less important than the doctor, Contemporary Women's (Gschwend/Kleinerman) is great. They deliver at Sibley. |
| I love love love my OB/GYN office. I love the OB, the nurse, the receptionist; I love everything about it. I am with Dr. Robert Footer (Robert Footer, not Richard Footer). He delivers at Sibley, actually I am having a scheduled C-section with him. He has 2 offices, 1 in DC and 1 in Rockville, the one in Rockville probably will work well for you, its' close to Bethesda, sort of in the North Bethesda area. |
| To OP. Which CWC group are you with right now? There are several that deliver at Holy Cross. |
| Dr. Lori Kaler. She is sole practitioner in N. Bethesda, and delivers at Sibley. |
I second this recommendation. I had an unplanned C-section with Dr. Footer a few months ago after a complicated labor and he was fantastic. Also love the nurse, receptionist, etc. |
