Can Anyone Recommend a Good OB/GYN in Rockville, Maryland???

I used Dr. Roy Brooks, over at Contemporary OB/GYN on Key West Ave in Rockville. He was fantastic, and I never had any issues with him or his staff. Several of my friends went to his office as well, and were all happy. They do deliver mainly at Holy Cross.

I've been really happy with Simmonds & Simmonds @ White Flint. I'm a doula and I have two clients that go to their practice and have been extremely pleased. I go to there offices in Damascus and have been pleased as well. Best of luck in your search and congrats on your pregnancy

I used the Capital Women's Care office in Bethesda at Fernwood. They also have an office at Medical Center Drive by the hospital. Dr. Edward Wolfgram. He is very good and takes a lot of time with you. There are 6 doctors on the practice, so as you get closer you meet them all. Unfortuntely it depends who is on call when you deliver. I liked the 2 other male drs. Alter and Margolis, but the female doctors I found to be unsympathetic. Funny how that is. ###-###-####.

I'll second Capital Women's Care with Drs Lakner, Grossman, Lee, Wei, Laurin. Their phone number: ###-###-####. My favorite is Dr. Wei - I saw every doctor in the practice before my delivery and thought they were all fine, but Dr. Wei delivered my baby and I really like her so I've been going back to her for the regular stuff.

Also, a friend recently used the midwifery group mentioned here too and was very pleased with them.

Dr. Sine works from the Silver Spring and Shady Grove offices for Capital Women's Care.

I'd suggest a midwifery practice. The only one is Rockville is assoc. with Simmons and Simmons. Midwives will spend more time with you, are women centered and usually communicate very well. If you are willing to travel I prefer other midwifery practices. As a doula, and childbirth educator, I hear this quite frequently from women. Midwives can and do provide most everything your OB/GYN does, even while not pregnant.
Feel free to contact me if you would like more info. about midwives.

Please be careful with Capital Women's Care. Some of these practices are using Mirenas and Paragards imported from other countries. This means they are not FDA approved. This puts patients at risk because coming from other countries, the product's identity, purity, source, handling, and storage cannot be verified. Using these overseas pharmacies can risk receiving unsafe and ineffective counterfeits, even if they appear the same. And the physician can save hundreds of dollars on the non-FDA approved product, but charges you and your insurance the same price as a US FDA-approved product. Please be careful and ask to see the box and insert with ENGLISH language only. If you think you had an unapproved IUD inserted in the past five years, go back and talk to your doctor about a fda-approved replacement at no charge.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I recommand the Capital Women's Care with Drs Lakner, Grossman, Lee, Wei, Laurin. Their phone number: ###-###-####. Good luck!

I've been going to Dr. Robert Footer for 16 years. He delivered my first child last August. He is wonderful.
His number is ###-###-#### and he is located at Montrose and Excecutive. He only takes a few insurances...hopefully your's. Good Luck.

Capital Women's Care, Dr. Apgar, Renzi and Tran. They are right next to Shady Grove Hospital and are great! They came highly recommended to me. I wasn't happy with my old practice and when I got pregnant again (almost 12 weeks) I decided to get some recommendations from friends. ###-###-####.

Good Luck!

Dr Robert Footer in Rockville. I had to switch to him when I was 8 weeks because we moved to the area. He is great, patient nad has an ultrasound machine in both of his offices. You get to see your baby whenever you want - call him up and tell him you are worried or whatever and need to put your mind at ease and somehow he makes the time for you to come in and see the baby. He is very supportive and has a great staff. He is also on the Washington Top Docs List.

Good luck and happy pregnancy!

dr guardian at capital women's care near shady grove has a very friendly small office with 3 other women ob/gyn's whom I found all very nice + she always makes the washington post top docs list so it must be not only my opinion. (I gave birth with them to my first 8 months ago). hope it helps, who is your current OB by the way?

I go to Capital Women's Care. Judith Gurdian and Michelle Spector. Doctor Spector just delivered my first baby in Feb and I really like the two doctors. They are right next to Shady Grove Hospital.
