    New patient appointment and I was in and out in 20 minutes! Wahoo!…read more Didn't feel rushed at all the whole time, either. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. The receptionist who greeted me was great. Beware- they take a picture of your face for your chart on your first visit! (to prevent insurance fraud.) But the receptionist was so friendly and made me laugh so she made the situation of having your picture taken right before going back to have your lady parts examined a lot less awkward than what it actually sounds like. Once getting back to the room, I was seen within minutes by Dr Godfrey. He had great bedside manner and was thorough in his assessment and didn't make me feel rushed. He walks you through and prepares you for all the awkward exam parts so you know what to expect before it happens. The office is clean and nice. The waiting room and hallways are decorated nicely, but the exam rooms are a little dated looking with pink walls. Oh well, I'll take cleanliness over modern any day.

    Bottom line: ob/gyn Edward Wolanski came pretty highly recommended to me, with the one caveat that…read morehe has an unhealthy, critical view of weight gain during pregnancy. It turns out that's true. But it also seems to be true that for other criteria like a low-intervention approach to birth, he's the best ob/gyn in Charlottesville (by default - he seems to be the only low-intervention ob/gyn here!). So, you have to pick your poison. Or maybe enough women telling him we don't like his unnecessarily strict, critical stance could influence the way he relates to patients? One can dare to hope. Context: I moved to Charlottesville about two months ago and began asking for recommendations for a good ob/gyn. Edward Wolanski was a name that kept coming up. Friends and friends-of-friends recommended him because they said he tends to be low intervention - he serves as the back-up for a midwife, which is rare and usually indicates an appreciation for a natural approach to childbirth. The one nuance to all the glowing reviews was that he could be brusque and unnecessarily strict about weight, having once told a patient, "We don't want a chubby Christa!" (Except he used her name, of course.) I took this info with a grain of salt, but sure enough, during our consultation visit, one of the first things Wolanski brought up was his recommendation that pregnant women should only gain 20-25 pounds during a pregnancy: this goes against the medically recognized guideline of 25-35 pounds for women who, like me, are in a healthy weight range at the start of pregnancy. I questioned whether his adapted guidelines set up potentially harmful expectations for women who have struggled with eating disorders, and he actually responded, "I've had many patients who have dealt with anorexia, and they tend to do quite well during pregnancy because they watch what they eat." Uh, yeah, that's what anorexics do, but I think our definition of "doing quite well" are not the same. That's the bad news. The worse news is that Wolanski may still be the best (only??) ob/gyn in Charlottesville for women like me, who value a low-intervention approach to childbirth. In the past week, I've researched ob/gyns in Cville like it's my job, and while Martha Jefferson Hospital is more advanced in terms of holistic care of mama + baby, I have yet to find another ob/gyn practice that is recommended for being accepting of a more natural approach to childbirth. I'll update this if/when I do (and if you have recommendations - message me!!)

    I feel as if I have done the "round robin" of area OB/GYNs. I have seen Dr. T, Jefferson OB, and…read moreWolanski. I was looking for a doctor who was willing to let me have a VBA2C. The only person was Wolanski. He is kind and straightforward and is fully committed to your well-being as well as that of your child. He is very into making sure you stay healthy and will encourage you to work out and to be careful about how you are eating during your pregnancy. Highly recommend.
