Finding the right Northern Virginia OB/GYN that fits you and your pregnancy, is an important factor very early on. You can always change providers, but it’s best if you find the right person from the start or even prior to getting pregnant. So if you’re looking for an obstetrician, check out three of the top practices in the area.
With 55 locations in the area, Capital Women’s Care makes it easy to find an obstetrician close to home. They have been serving Virginia, DC, and Maryland since 1998 when seven local practices joined together. You’ll find an impressive 250+ physicians, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, and certified nurse midwives within their practice. And with the use of their Patient Portal system, you’ll have 24/7 access to write to your provider, access your medical records, and schedule your own appointments. If you want to do some of your own research between visits, the Capital Women’s Care website has so many resources to read through.
Formerly known as Centreville OB/GYN, INOVA Obstetrics and Gynecology offers comprehensive pregnancy and women’s health care backed by the resources of the INOVA Health System. Their team includes experienced OB/GYNs and midwives who provide routine prenatal care, support for high-risk pregnancies, and continued care into the postpartum season.
One of the benefits of an INOVA practice is access to advanced medical resources if they’re ever needed, while still maintaining a personalized approach to care. Patients can also receive support for postpartum mental health, including postpartum depression, which is an important part of the full pregnancy journey. With easy-to-use digital tools for communication and appointment management, INOVA Obstetrics and Gynecology works to make care accessible, informed, and well coordinated.
As technology and medicine advance, the founders of Physicians and Midwives believe that care itself should still be the root of providing quality medical care to women. This Northern Virginia OB/GYN practice specializes in OB/GYN and healthy pregnancy to postpartum services. You’ll receive well-rounded and safe care. On top of their great obstetrics and midwifery care, you’ll also find free pregnancy classes as well as a free pregnancy app through Physicians and Midwives. This practice also has a Patient Portal that can be used for complete ease of care no matter the provider.
No matter which practice you choose (one of these three or any other Northern Virginia OB/GYN), you have to decide what you feel is right for you and your growing baby. Be sure to advocate for yourself and your little one throughout the entire pregnancy. And if at any point you start to become unhappy with the care you’re receiving at the practice you chose, don’t feel like it’s too late to transfer your prenatal care elsewhere. You have options.
