[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a regular Ob, I liked Keller. She discovered my missed miscarriage and did my D&C. I also continued to see her for my annual.

I'm currently with the GW MFMs. Although Macri doesn't deliver, he's been the only one who doesn't seem rushed, explains concerns in detail, responds to my emails and even followed up with phone calls. Drs. Ahmadzia and Bathgate are good, but Ahmadzia never responds to my emails. I mentioned to Bathgate about some concerns and she never ordered any tests. I bought and did my own urinanalysis and culture at Labcorp. I had second trimester appointments canceled last minute, rescheduled and canceled again.

I went to see the MFMs at Inova Fairfax for a second opinion on placental issues. The difference was night and day. Admin and nursing staff were so much more helpful. The ultrasound technician emailed me photos, something GW won't do. Their ultrasound machines looked clearer. And rhe MFM doctor explained everything in great detail, reviewing my records beforehand and never making me feel rushed. For any placental issues, Fairfax has many protocols in place that GW doesn't seem to have. [/quote]

I had a similar MFM experience in October, except my 2nd opinion was with Sibley MFMs after (yet another) bad experience in Bethesda office with Dr. Gallagher & the ultrasound tech there. Sibley MFM office was calm, the ultrasound images were so much clearer, and the technician spent a very long time getting the images she thought the MFM would want but then left the room and came back twice to get more images after confirming with the MFM. Then the MFM sat with us and explained everything they saw step-by-step in great detail, which was a refreshing experience after the GW Bethesda ultrasound tech scanned me for about 1 min total, Dr. Gallagher breezed through, and then blew off my questions about clearly worrisome findings. I lost that pregnancy, and my GW OB is in complete agreement with me that for my next pregnancy I'll be seeing the Sibley MFMs for all ultrasounds since my experience was so much better.[/quote]
