Dr. Lanni is a saint. I went to her for a 2nd opinion after being told by a complete ahole doctor at Virginia Physicians for Women (don't go there!) that I should "terminate my pregnancy because of my baby showing a cystic hygroma." Dr. Lanni was compassionate but no nonsense. She talked to me about my baby's 50/50 chance of having a major issue or being fine. She was with me every step of the way, did my amnio, tons of ultrasounds, answered questions any time I had them, and thank God my baby's hygroma resolved at 20 weeks and today I have a perfectly healthy 1 month old baby girl. Without Dr. Lanni, her excellent nurse Karen and kind, compassionate office staff who always remembered me when I came, I think I may have lost it during this stressful pregnancy. She made what was a stressful time easier to bear, and she is top notch in her expertise and knowledge of maternal and fetal medicine. HIGHLY RECC Dr Lanni!! I drove from southside to see her @ MCV, she's that good. Her OB appts are only on Tuesdays because she has other duties on other days (she is also head of 2 depts at MCV and lectures). read more
