[quote=Anonymous]In case you haven't seen them, there are some posts on this board from several years ago on the same topic--one about switching w/in Shady Grove, another w/in Columbia. As posters on those threads said, you're paying a lot of money, so you should be confident and happy before you proceed.

FWIW, I'm a previous patient of Dr. Gordon's and was extremely happy with DF and specifically that he was my RE. I switched to DF from another clinic, and had decided I wanted to see Dr. G. entirely based on reading reviews on this and other sites. I feel like the doctors at Dominion try very hard to do the procedures on their own patients, especially when they fall during the week (so long as your RE is not out of town). It might be a little more hit-or-miss on the weekend, but that is something worth asking if you switch to Dr. G and have a consult with him. So, the times I feel like you would be most likely to run into Dr. Dimattina would be: possibly morning monitoring, maybe if your procedure(s) fall on a weekend or holiday, or if Dr. G is out of town. From what I gathered while a patient there, Dr. Dimattina covers morning monitoring at the Arlington and Bethesda offices. I was there last summer, and at that time he was definitely at Bethesda on Friday mornings. Dr. Waud and Dr. Gordon were the only ones who did morning monitoring at Fair Oaks, so if that happens to be a convenient or possible location for you, you could go there for Mon-Fri; all weekend monitoring is at Arlington, though.[/quote]
