I can't speak for the entire practice but I absolutely LOVE Maanavi!…read more After having a meh experience with Capital Women's Group I looked around for a compassionate practice that was easy to book with and had convenient hours and location. I asked around with friends and nearly every single person that I knew and loved went to Capital Women's Group. I absolutely LOVED Dr. Andersen and Dr. Manaavi the moment I met with them, but did not have an issue with rotating through the other doctors during my monthly visits during my pregnancy. With my first birth I read over a dozen childbirth books, hired a doula ... did the whole she-bang and still ended up with a less than ideal birth and practitioners who were not entirely on the same page as me no matter how much we communicated. At Nova Group for Women, I felt listened to and understood. Dr. Maanavi was an absolute champion for a VBAC and even recommended an outside chiro to help manage my pain and make adjustments to make birth easier. Her recommendation was a GAME CHANGER and made my delivery super easy even without a doula. My follow ups have been easy to schedule and I'm usually in and out with no problem. I found communication easy with the portal and I love how calm the doctors are, definitely something I did not experience in my other practice. I highly recommend.

Despite this, they still asked for my records and then later claimed they were at full capacity -- something they could have communicated before wasting my time and personal information. On top of that, the front desk put me on hold without notice, and attempts to transfer care were inconsistent and confusing. This disorganization and lack of transparency left me feeling dismissed, ignored, and frustrated. Patients deserve respect, clarity, and efficiency -- none of which I experienced here. Disrespectful and unprofessional...

I am so happy that I made the decision at 12 weeks to switch to Centreville OBGYN and attempt VBAC…read more With my first child I was told I needed a c section after failure to progress. I was in labor 17 hours and only dilated to 1cm. When I went in to see my doctor at 6 weeks pregnant they told me I would need another c section. That's when I decided to go to Centreville OBGYN. From the minute I met Chloe I felt safe. She was honest, open, answered my questions and calmed my fears. When I started to question having a vbac, she talked me through those concerns. Never once did I feel pressured or alone. She loves her vbac mommas and it shows. My vbac was such a calm and beautiful experience. It was amazing to have Chloe's support and guidance. I fully trusted her and it allowed me to relax and allow my body to progress naturally. After my vbac, I suffered from severe postpartum migraines. Chloe was there to help support me, research treatments, and even called my neurologist to push to have me seen sooner. She went above and beyond to ensure I was healthy. I am so thankful that I met Chloe and there is no one else I would want to have been by my side.

In hindsight, knowing what I know now, I would have told my 17 year old self to say NO when he insisted on a c-section delivery. He wouldn't even talk about a VBAC with #2. Fast forward to #3... original doctor retired and, after a TON of research, hubby found me the best local NOVA doctor group - the one all the doctors and nurses go to for their own babies, Fair Ridge Ob/Gyn Associates. At 20w it was discovered that our third son would be born with bilateral clubfoot and they found many other concerns - as such, they had me closely monitored by maternal fetal specialists who would work in tandem with them. Every two weeks we had a detailed scan to monitor baby's progress. The whole time my plan was a VBAC. Dr Hodges stressed he would work with me as long as: 1. I went into labor on my own (no induction) and 2. Baby came before 39.5 weeks (risk of uterine rupture with two prior c-sections. At 39w, 4d I walked into my scheduled c-section SO UPSET. I'm deathly allergic to all narcotics (ANY codeine products which includes everything from Tylenol-3 to morphine) I am literally limited to OTC Motrin and Tylenol). So, c-sections for me are EXTRA brutal. Turns out, I had placenta accreta, a condition where the placenta grows through the uterus and fuses to other organs. It went undetected in ultrasounds. A vaginal birth would have killed me, likely before I even made it to the hospital. Accreta typically means two things: a blood transfusion and a hysterectomy. Thanks to Dr Hodges, I still have my uterus. 10 days postpartum I had a uterine hemorrhage (which was related to the accreta). Dr Hodges' quick response to my phone call where I described my symptoms saved my life for a second time. I got pregnant totally by accident in January. Like, I know how that whole things works .. the birds and the bees... still, I had no warning as we were taking preventive measures. Anyway, my ENTIRE 4th PREGNANCY I was TERRIFIED. I was monitored again by maternal fetal, this time they were specifically looking for accreta which is very hard to detect via ultrasound. I never really got excited or felt connected to my pregnancy because of my fear of DYING delivering this child. On Tuesday my husband drove me to the hospital and I sobbed the entire way there, the whole two hours pre-op, and walking into the OR. This time, Dr. Zaita was to perform my c-section. She's equally as talented and I trusted her, too. I was still just completely scared. Anyway, THIS TIME they calmly walked me through what would happen in the OR: anesthesia would come in and do the spinal .. I remembered last time the hospital's anesthesiologist yelling at me to stop trembling or I'd be paralyzed. She no longer works there. She assured me this would be different. They told me they were "going in" assuming that I DO have an accreta despite there being no evidence of me having one. They'd have blood products on hand. They talked to me about a hysterectomy, they'd only do it if necessary. But the "hysterectomy tray" would be in there. The hospitals intensive care pediatrician would be in there in case there were any complications with baby. They gently over communicated. They talked about post-op pain management.. the anesthesiologist had some new ideas, new meds, etc. They were so kind and gentle. We walked in there and I was still terrified but my doctor, instead of running around the OR, stood in front of me and held my hands. When they started the spinal she held my shoulders and rubbed them to calm me, she put her forehead on mine and asked me about my other children. We talked about teenagers, private schools, baby names. She never let go of me and her forehead never left mine until they were done and laid me down. NEVER have I had that experience and the distraction worked. I was calm(er) and felt safe. During the surgery, after they took out baby she did something no other doctor had done: she held my blue, crying, covered-in-vernix, still-had-his-cord, brand new baby above the blue drape so I could see him. I've never seen my baby before they were cleaned off. I cried happy tears. After they measured him, cleaned him and wrapped him, the pediatrician excitedly took photos for us. Baby was crying so she brought him to my face so I could talk to him and put my skin to his. As soon as she was able to (surgery wise) she unwrapped him and pulled down my gown and put us skin-to-skin.... I've never had that experience and it was absolutely amazing and beautiful. I'm 4 days postpartum and I feel great. My pain was half as bad as I'm used to thanks to creative thinking. If you're looking for a new doctor, one who will be your advocate, tell you like it is (nicely) and also just be so understanding and gentle: I highly recommend Fair Ridge OBGYN. They're a dream.

If I could go back in time I would not of picked this establishment for OB services but here's some…read morekey takeaways for those who need to go here. I wanted to wait until I went through the whole process before reviewing, so talk about an almost year wait to say my peace. I found this place through my insurance, however it did not update that I believe Dr. Hodges was retired. I purposely seek him as he specialized in an issue I was concerned over. When making the appointment they did not make me aware he was retired (assuming by the time I came along he might've just retired). One of the reasons I held out was because the first ob I saw was Dr. Uthaman. He is newer to the practice but has great bedside manner. And seemed to be pro for non invasive treatment and had knowledge on his belt on issues a POC may face vs non. I was lucky enough to have seen him a few times (wish it was more) during my time and he was one of the doctors that assisted in my delivery. Besides him I felt that Dr. Jabola, Dr. Zaita, and NP Fulop were safe bets. Dr. Black was the main doctor at my delivery and she seemed fine but that was the only time I saw her so I can't speak too much on her. But she didn't make the delivery miserable so there's that. I don't want to get into too many details of my gripes but here's a little snip of some things I'd note. I specifically avoided FNP Stone per reviews floating around. If I knew someone who was going here I'd tell them to avoid Dr. Pickford she's pretty condescending and rough. The front desk staff is a hit or miss. Sometimes you get a good one, other times you regret coming in and question why you continue to go here. As far as billing that can be a mess too (luckily that percentage for me of hot mess was low) All and all I'm glad I survived (mentally and physically) here. Hopefully this will help the next person.

Very disappointing experience. This was my first time ever going to this OB-GYN office, and from…read morethe beginning everything felt rushed. The communication was terrible, especially for a new patient. I paid $153 because I was having a concern and wanted to figure out what was causing it. I got tested for something I thought I might have, and while the results came back normal, I was still experiencing symptoms and wanted answers about why I was having the issue in the first place. Since nothing was really resolved, I scheduled another appointment because I wanted to get to the bottom of what was going on. When I got there, the receptionist told me they had tried to call me and basically said there was no point in being seen because my test results were normal. If that was the case, why wait until the day of my appointment to tell me? Why not call me the day before or even a few days before so I wouldn't waste my time coming in? I ended up just walking out. What makes this even more frustrating is that someone from the office had no problem calling me a few days earlier to ask how I would be paying, but nobody seemed interested in helping me understand why I was still having symptoms. Just because a test comes back normal doesn't mean a patient no longer needs care or answers. I came there looking for help and guidance, not to be brushed off because one test was negative. The entire experience felt like everything was on the patient to figure out. I had questions about what would happen if my results were positive, how treatment would work, and what the next steps would be, but I never felt like those things were clearly explained. As a new patient, I expected better communication, more concern, and a doctor who was interested in helping me find answers. Instead, I left feeling like my time and money were wasted. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this office. Poor communication, rushed care, and a lack of concern for unresolved patient issues made this a very frustrating experience.

I transferred to Dr. Kim's practice this year, and unfortunately, my experience has been extremely…read moredisappointing. The biggest issue has been the billing. We have repeatedly been charged for things we did not understand or expect, and unless we carefully review the charges and contact the office ourselves, the money simply gets taken. In some cases, after we questioned the charges, they were reversed or refunded. Once or twice might be understandable, but when it keeps happening, it becomes very difficult to trust the billing practices of the office. My father has insurance and only saw Dr. Kim three times. His last visit was in April. Yet yesterday, months later, he was suddenly charged another $446. This is now the fourth time our family has had to deal with an unexpected charge from this office. Patients should not have to constantly monitor their accounts, call the office, and ask, "Why was I charged this?" My own experience with my thyroid medication has been even more frustrating. When I first established care with Dr. Kim in June, I had blood work done and clearly told him that I have hypothyroidism and have been taking levothyroxine long term. Naturally, I assumed that establishing care, reviewing my medical history, and doing blood work meant that my ongoing thyroid treatment would be properly managed. Today, I finished the remaining medication that had been prescribed by my previous primary care doctor and discovered that Dr. Kim had never sent a refill for my levothyroxine and had actually discontinued the medication. Now, in order to continue a medication I have already been taking long term, I am being told that I need to make another appointment and possibly have blood work done again. So I genuinely have to ask: What was the purpose of the blood work I had done in June? If a patient establishes care, clearly reports a chronic condition, provides their medication history, and already has blood work performed, why is there no proper continuity of care? Why does the patient only discover months later, after running out of medication, that the prescription was never continued? And why does resolving something that should have been addressed during the original visit require another appointment, another possible blood draw, and potentially more charges? For a chronic condition, medication continuity is one of the most basic parts of primary care. Between the repeated unexpected billing issues and the lack of follow-through with my long-term medication, I have lost confidence in this practice. I strongly recommend that patients carefully review every bill, every charge, and every medication after visiting this office.
