[quote=Anonymous]My process:

(1) I took the list of Washingtonian Magazine's best doctors for infertility.  (Who know what the criteria is for that list, but it was a starting point.).

(2) I crossed off anyone who didn't take my insurance, per my insurance company.  (Though it turns out that list for Aetna is not correct.)

(3) I looked for on-line reviews and crossed of any doc with a lot of unhappy patients. I may have crossed out docs who only had offices in Virginia, Rockville, etc.  (I live in NE DC and work downtown.).

(4) I sent the final list of about 6-8 REs to my OB.  In the end I think he just chose the doc at the top alphabetically: Abbasi.)

I've been very happy with Abbasi.  I lucked out that she has a downtown DC office.   I agree with other posters that the office location could make a big difference to you sanity, as you could be going in 3-4 times some weeks.  Nurses are important, but that may be harder to control for.  I've had a wonderful, responsive nurse, Crystal, but I almost lost my mind when she was working at another office during one of my cycles and her replacement was a disorganized mess.
