[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Foxhall and also found Dr. Lightfoote very dismissive.  My primary doctor, and thankfully the one on call when I delivered, was Dr. Shawn Davis-Wilensky.  I would follow her to the ends of the earth.  I had a very scary delivery that turned into an emergency C section and she was amazing throughout it all (not to mention for years prior).  I had to switch practices due to insurances changes, but I'm at the point where I would pay out of pocket to keep seeing her.  [/quote]

I agree 100%- Dr Davis delivered my first baby and love her- professional with a great calming energy. Highly recommend![/quote]

+3 for Dr. Davis, and Lightfoote is wonderful too. I can see why people don’t like her (she can come off a bit bougie - aka snobby) but she’s great once you know her. I think Foxhall is generally a good practice for black mothers. A different doctor in the practice delivered my first baby and she was incredible. [/quote]

+4 for Dr. Davis. Late to this thread but Dr. Davis is my primary at Foxhall. She guided me through my first pregnancy/l&d and two subsequent losses, including an ectopic. I saw her to diagnose the ectopic but she was not on call so unable to do my surgery. However, she coached me on what to request from the nursing staff (I didn't look like I was in an emergency surgery situation, no pain etc.) to ensure they took me seriously, which I deeply appreciated. I also do like Dr. Lightfoote but yes, echoing previous posters, I understand why others might not 'vibe' with her.[/quote]
