[quote=Anonymous]I think both are good options for a c-section.

If I were trying to decide between these two, I'd probably want to know who at GW would actually be doing the surgery -- GW is a teaching hospital so you may end up with a resident doing the surgery and the OB supervising.  For some women this is fine and others may prefer an OB or their selected doctor -- so this may be something to explore.

Having attending births at both of these hospitals, I'd say that (at least to me) Sibley has a smaller, more personalized feel.  I've also had a couple of clients at Sibley who had c-sections and were very happy that they got to have their babies on their chests during the repair part of the c-section.  I'm not sure if this happens as much at GW but if it is important to you, it might be worth asking about.

I think the private room cost of Sibley is definitely a downside for some, but that may not be as important to you.  It does get pricey though if you are staying three or four nights after a c-section and paying a high rate each night.
