[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8:29 has good advice, OP. I would second the
--hospital
--location of office, ease of parking, wait time--those weekly appts at the end, when you are least mobile, get tedious, and if you're newly preg now that's in the summer too.

Also, if you share what your reservations are about the practices, DCUM can help tell you which are legit and which are not that big a deal.[/quote]

Why I like them and why I have reservations -
1. Current GYN (also OB), seems to be low intervention and solo practice lots of experience misses maybe 1 or 2 delivers a year delivers at Fair Oaks. - Gets annoyed when I ask too many questions. Is a bit further away but not bad, 
2. Doctor #2 - solo but may end up doing on call for delivery if after hours or weekend, has high C-section rate like 45% I would prefer V delivery, Delivers Fairfax 
3. Group of 4 women docs, seems like a well liked but also busy practice tons of reviews mixed - Fairfax hospital close to my job, 
4. Group of 6 docs close to my job mixed reviews deliver Fairfax (cwc)
5. Two docs - same group as doctor #2 for on call, but has lower c sections, seem to deliver more
6. 3 docs well rated but further away VHC hospitcal[/quote]

1 and 3 seem like your best bets.  Just make a choice and know that the chances of that being a life-changing bad choice are incredibly small.  What happens during your pregnancy will happen and if you make a bad choice, you can switch to a bigger practice later.[/quote]
