[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it rude to call out this doctor and name her on DCUM because you didn’t feel she was LGBT friendly enough. If she had made a statement against it - ok - but you admit she’s friendly and responsive. You certainly could have asked the question just as clearly without naming her personally. You sound very high maintenance. [/quote]

Said like someone who doesn’t have to deal with this issue.

I’ve had some medical issues and a pregnancy. Saw numerous doctors at Reiter, Johnson , and Hill with no issues. For basic stuff Radecki is wonderful, so is Nevin who also delivers babies. I went to GW for my pregnancy and saw a lot of doctors and there were no weird or redundant questions save for a post partum follow up with a doctor who I’d never seen before who asked about birth control very early in visit then was super apologetic when I told her I was married to a woman. Dr Nelson was my favorite there. Lesbian friends also go to GW and have had no issues.

Welcome to the area and good luck![/quote]

pp here - forgot to add that we did reciprocal IVF at Columbia Fertility Associates with Dr. Abbasi. She is a straight shooter but very thoughtful and creative. I’m convinced that we wouldn’t have a kid without her. Friends did both IUI and reciprocal IVF with Dr. Sacks and he’s super nice.  Not sure about other doctor lbs there though I’d avoid Butler - that may be a personality thing though. I just didn’t like his vibe, he wasn’t compassionate and was really short and I was only seeing him briefly for a procedure because Abbasi was on vacation.

We also tried Shady Grove but they tried to talk us out of reciprocal IVF and would not treat us like a couple if we went that route and said that they would only bill insurance for one of us. Also the “egg” part of our couple would have to literally go through the egg donor program. Seemed both a little offensive and stupid to us and I wasn’t going to shell out tens of thousands of dollars  to be treated questionably — the process is rough enough without that.[/quote]
