This question is so dependent on what's important to you as a patient

She is great! But I think she stopped accepting insurance.
I had good experiences with Dr. Davis and Dr. Messinger as well.

This isn’t true.
I delivered at VHC with Arlington women’s center. I was allowed to labor past 24 hours of my water breaking, push for 3 hours, and go to 40 weeks with a transverse baby.
My friend(s) delivered at VHC and had totally different experiences. Schedules C sections, C section for pushing, and not allowed to labor past the 24 hour mark.
What isn't true?
To look at hospitals, not OBs. I was saying that my friends and I have delivered at VHC (same hospital) with different OBs and have different experiences.
Ok, but she should still consider the hospital. While differences might exist within births at the same hospital that's nothing compared to the differences that exist between births at different hospitals. Hospitals have a birth culture and she should look at ones that prioritize the experience she wants.

Yes! This! Dr Green is amazing and the best and amazing. She and Dr Pardo are the best OBs ever (I have seen more than a few). The others in the practice are ok. I switched for DD2 because the drive to Sibley would be too far for appointments and delivery and regretted it. Miss them.
