If this is true, I absolutely cannot imagine not reporting this!!!!

Heard Dr.G is going to accept patients in DC and Rockville only for WFC

Inquiring minds want to know...

Like? Something terribly wrong?

There may be things you do not know, though (behind the scenes)

I think slime ball sums it up.

I would love to know the reason!!!

Find another doctor, for sure.

I made an appointment to see Dr. Gindoff at WFC because he was recommended to me by my primary care doctor when I asked for advice. I was able to make an appointment for this week, but when I just called to reschedule it, I was told that he would no longer be with WFC after April 8. So that was a short tenure. She wasn't able to tell me if he would be moving to another clinic. Now I'm back to square one on finding a doctor. This is overwhelming!

If you ever overheard him interact with the staff (and you can hear everything when you get a procedure done there), you'd get a pretty quick sense that he wasn't well liked by the staff. The difference between hearing him and the other docs (Dr. F and Dr. D when she was there) was notable. That to me is telling. These are the people that are with him day in and day out.

As for my own interactions with him, they were always rushed and felt very canned -- from the "I'm relating to my patient" playbook that clearly someone had told him to say because he's awkward. He just didn't seem genuine to me at all.

But I do think everyone has a different interaction and he clearly was a good fit for some people.

Gosh, why does everything think Dr. Gindoff was a slimeball? I had him and thought he was nice. (?)

Greg, the ultrasound tech, just had a baby but because he's a man, you wouldn't know.

To me, it doesn't matter if you like a nurse or not...but to comment on the fact that one can get pregnant (and, honestly, you don't know HOW she got pregnant just like any other woman you see walking on the street) is pretty unfair.

We all have our battles even if you can't see them.

I couldn't agree more with this. I get it that it's hard to see her pregnant, but I just think it's so toxic to start begrudging other people their pregnancies and babies. It's not a competition. Her being pregnant doesn't mean you won't ever be pregnant. And I'm a long-term IVFer who has struggled.

Also agree that Dr. Gindoff is a slime ball and GW is better off without him. They'll get through this rough patch and thrive.
