I am looking for a Doctor in Washington dc. I am 6 weeks pregnant and went through IVF .
Try looking at http://www.JustSettling.com, they have a good section on finding doctors (including recommendations). Go to Medical Matters and ob gyns are under Primary Care Physicians. Good luck!
Try Georgetown University Medical Center Department of OB-GYN. Megan Breen, MD is my primary provider there and has been listed as one of the best docs in the area as per the Washingtonian report. Yet any of the ob-gyn providers there ought to be good. ###-###-####. Best wishes!
Hands down, I would go with Dr. Tomlinson in Alexandria. I drive all the way from Rockville (I live less than a mile from Shady Grove Hospital) because she is worth it. She is a single practice OBGYN, so you don't have to worry about seeing 12 different doctors during your pregnancy. She is amazing and I can't say enough good things about her. I just delivered my second baby with her at Alexandria Hospital on 1/22/11. Even better, Alexandria is all private rooms (something you pay extra for at Fairfax Hospital), and most of the L&D staff has been there more than 10 years. In case you are interested, her number is ###-###-####. Call her, you will NOT be disappointed!!!
What are you looking for? At which hospital do you wish to deliver? Do you need a high risk practitioner? Is it a singleton or are you having multiples?
Congratulations!!!! Yeah I'm so happy for you. I don't know anything about the doctors in DC - I'm happy to refer my doc in Falls Church who is also wonderful. Dr. Scott. I really just wanted to say Congrats. And good luck let me know if you need anyting. It is an exciting time so enjoy it.

I'd happy to suggest two groups of midwives that practice out of Washington Hospital Center. One group does all their visits in the hospiral clinic. The other group is at the DC Develping Families Center which is a Free Standing Birth center. The latter one also gives you the option of having your baby at the birth center. Midwives are a wonderful option for care during pregnacy. They spend more time with you than an OB, and you have more options in your labor.
Call Washington Hospital Center and they can give you their numbers.
IF you have more questions about midwifery care, please feel free to contact me.

Dr Collea at Georgetown University Hospital (you can get his number from the hospital's site) specializes in high risk pregnancies. He delivered both my kids. Good luck!
Dr. Edward Oliver he is in Maryland by PG Plaza but he delivers in Maryland and DC. ###-###-#### He may or may not ask but he delivered both of my children in 95 and 98. If he ask just tell him Kim S. gave you the number
Dr. Robert Footer is wonderful. He is his own practice - so you get him everytime. I've gone to him for 15 years and he just delivered my first child on August 1st. He has offices in DC and Rockville. The DC office is on New Mexico Ave near American University. The phone number is ###-###-####. He is there on Tues, Thurs, and Fri. He is in his Rockville Office on Mon and Wed. Good Luck.
Congratulations!!!
I second the recommendation for Robert Footer. I also had IVF two years ago and Dr. Footer came highly recommended by our IVF doc. I went to him for the first time for my first prenatal appointment. Unbeknownst to us, the baby had already died. We discovered it when he did a sono that day. We were devastated. Dr. Footer was so compassionate and so caring. He called us later that day just to see how we were doing. Even though we didn't know him, he was so empathic and rearranged his weekend schedule at our convenience to do the D&C. He is such a wonderful person in addition to being a superb OB/GYN. His office location and contact info is in another post below.
By the way, I am now 9 months pregnant and a few days past my due date! Best wishes for a successful and healthy birth!
I like Reiter, Hill, Johnson and Nevin. They have offices in VA, DC, and MD. Washington Location:
