[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think based on geography, I'd prefer to deliver at Sibley, Georgetown, or GW.  I've heard great things about Sibley, but it looks like the practices that admit there don't take my insurance (I'm on a BCBS EPO).  Where do the WHC midwives deliver?[/quote]
 
the maternity ward at Sibley is in a separate building, it is brand new and they have very few active Covid cases in Sibley at present.  It is where i delivered my first and where I will deliver my second.  there was not even a chance that I would deliver anywhere else given Covid

I think there are several OBs that take BCBS and deliver at Sibley
CWC K Street
Reiter Hill Nevin and Johnson
Dr. de Souza
Dr. Footer
There are others too.. I am at Reiter Hill and have been happy but others have not so you should check past threads.  I would note that there are very practices that are without critics[/quote]

I called CWC K Street, and they no longer take BCBS EPO, which is what I'm on.  :(  Bloom is all filled up, Foxhall doesn't take BCBS, and Reiter... well I tried calling them but I was only hold for 15 minutes before I gave up. I'm not sure that I want to go with a practice that I can't get through to by phone.  I can certainly try looking into Dr. de Souza or Dr. Footer.[/quote]

For what it is worth, your best shot with Reiter is to call after 2 pm and then I make my appointments all at once when I am there in person.  There is also a patient portal in which you can make appointments so in the future, that won't be an issue.  As others have said. Dr. Engel is great as is Dr. Dedania
