There were also some issues with listening to me, as the patient. If I tell you, as a new patient, that I have had certain procedures, I do not expect to be challenged and told that it is not possible because they wouldn't do it. There are always exceptions to the textbooks. So I had to provide the surgical report before he would concede that I was correct. As such, my initial diagnosis was not even feasible due to a past surgery that I initially noted I had. Also, twice, I was prescribed meds that I specifically noted I could not take. Finally, after an unsuccessful surgery, I had to go to another gynecologist to get the initial issue addressed and resolved. While I am sure he is a nice person, this was not the gynecologist for me, due to the experiences noted.

Last year when I was pregnant I discovered I had a large ovarian cyst. The OBGYN I was seeing at the time was quick to suggest I'd need surgery when I was only a few weeks pregnant, even though my cyst was showing signs of getting smaller. I went to see Dr. Yuri for a second opinion and he ended up saving me from a risky and unnecessary surgery. He was very thorough and carefully explained all of my options to me. I immediately dropped my other doctor and now send all my DC friends straight to Dr. Yuri.

I had my first visit with him in April, I had to have an "in and out" procedure" in May. He was wonderful explaining everything to me, not assuming that because I am a health care professional that I would understand everything. I was totally comfortable in his office and I was not rushed. America who works for him, is a wonderful and kind person. She is helpful and promptly responds to emails and phone calls. They are high tech; I love the use of phreesia (spelling?). What I loved and appreciated the most was that after my surgery in May, he went out and spoke to my husband, a non health care oriented person, and put him at ease. My husband's first words to me when I woke up from the procedure, "he came out and talked to me at length, he's great!" I am very thankful to have met him!

They took me in 20 minutes late which is the reason for the 4 stars. They had so many people in the waiting room and I heard one person say she was waiting 30 minutes to be seen. I did like all the employees. Everyone was very friendly and gave clear instructions. When I got taken to the exam room and had to undress I was surprised there was only disposable gowns and blankets to wear. I am not sure if this is because of covid but I miss the softness of cloth. Also the spot to put your feet during the exam didn't have little socks on the foot holders so my feet kept sliding off. Some aesthetics in this office leave room for improvement, however the doctors and the environment were so nice it was forgivable. Dr. Huang was wonderful. She was friendly and answered all my questions about pregnancy. I liked her gentle touch and how much she communicated with me during the exam. I am very nervous at OBGYN appointments and she did a great job helping me relax. Because I liked her so much I will definitely return to this practice when I am pregnant. I also want to note that this office took care of many patients where English was not their first language. It's great that this practice can accommodate so many people.

Unfortunately, my experience at this clinic was consistently negative and created unnecessary stress during what should have been an exciting time. During my second appointment which was on a Friday at 3 p.m., I waited almost 50 minutes to see the doctor, who only spent a few minutes with me. When I went to get my blood drawn afterward, the lab technician told me they were closed -- even though it was only 3:55 p.m. and their hours are until 4 p.m. After I insisted that I needed the bloodwork done, she reluctantly agreed but was very rude about it. At my next appointment, which was also on a Friday at 3 p.m., I needed bloodwork again. This time, I told the tech taking my vitals if I could have my blood drawn before seeing the doctor. She assured me it would be fine to do it after. Once my appointment ended around 3:55 p.m., I went to the lab, where the same technician and her colleague refused to take my blood and said I could go to the hospital tomorrow to get it done. My husband had to step in and remind them that we both took off work for this appointment before they finally agreed to do it. Around my 25th week appointment, I mentioned to the covering doctor that I was experiencing pelvic pain and difficulty walking. Her response was, "It's only going to get worse, that's pregnancy." When I brought up that I had read about physical therapy, massage, or acupuncture helping, she agreed those were options but told me to "Google it" when I asked for recommendations. The lack of support and empathy was disappointing. Later in my pregnancy, the practice announced they were moving deliveries from Shady Grove to Holy Cross Silver Spring. I looked up reviews for the Silver Spring hospital and also discussed it with my doula, who shared that she had really negative experiences there. I reached out to the clinic to ask if I could deliver at Holy Cross Germantown instead and was told that was acceptable so I registered at Germantown. At my next appointment, I mentioned in passing to Dr. Prosper that I was registered at Germantown. She responded abruptly and told me I was "not allowed" to deliver there. When I explained my reasoning and mentioned that I had already paid for my doula, she was dismissive and unkind. That conversation was the final straw for me. I had already been uncomfortable with the practice but had to stay because I was so far along and couldn't find another provider. I went on to deliver at Holy Cross Germantown, where I had a wonderful experience with my doula and the hospital staff. Unfortunately, I experienced postpartum complications and scheduled a follow-up with Dr. Prosper. During that appointment, she told me she "couldn't help" and reminded me that I "chose to deliver somewhere else,". I ended up going to the ER for help. About a week later, I received a call saying that Dr. Prosper had canceled my 6-week postpartum appointment because I delivered at Germantown. As a new mom still recovering from complications, this was extremely upsetting and unprofessional. I then called the Silver Spring location, where I was met with empathy, professionalism, and understanding. They immediately scheduled me for my 6-week checkup and assured me that what happened was unacceptable. They also confirmed that they already had all my medical records, meaning Dr. Prosper's lied when she said she couldn't help me and she had no records of my delivery. I would strongly caution anyone considering the Rockville location to think twice. No patient should have to experience the level of disrespect and lack of care that I did during such an important time.

Surgery can be scary with so much uncertainty. The only minor surgery I ever had before that point was dental or having my tonsils removed as a kid. Twenty something years later, I was scared to death! The staff at Contemporary OB-Gyn Associates were so patient and understanding. They dealt with my hundreds of questions, OCD-like cautious nervousness and scrutiny prior to surgery. My surgeon was Dr. Andrew Block and he was excellent! Dr. Ronald Jacobs referred me to him as an expert for the type of procedure I wanted. They are both so friendly and approachable. Dr. Block is recommended as the top laparoscopic surgeon for a salpingectomy, tubal ligations and similar. He is transparent, kind and very empathetic. He will have conversations with you prior to surgery to make sure this is something you want to do and also make suggestions or alternatives. Contemporary OB-Gyn has different locations. I've been to the Silver Spring, Laurel and Rockville locations. I started out with the Silver Spring locations a couple of times. I think it's great that they have different office locations to accommodate your schedule and distance. I give this such a high rating because Contemporary OB-Gyn walked me through a surgery process that always has risks. They took care of me.

A friend of mine recommended this practice due to her experience with Dr. Jacobs' understanding of…read moreher child-free lifestyle in the past. As a woman in my mid-20's, I've had multiple years of gynaecologists turning me down for a tubal ligation and I turned here most recently due to that recommendation. When making my appointment with Dr. Jacobs, the nurse told me that it would be a good idea to get a letter of support from a therapist. So in the weeks leading up to the appointment I met multiple times with a local therapist to discuss my choice to be childfree and to make sure that I was making said decision with the best intentions. She agreed that I was and wrote me a letter of support. When I went to my appointment I brought said therapist letter, as well as letters of support from my mother and boyfriend who also came to the appointment with me. Dr. Jacobs was warm and kind and supremely understanding. He said that while he thought I did deserve the surgery, it wasn't up to him. Due to my age and lack of children, he would have to go to all of the doctors in the practice and get them to approve the procedure. He told me to give him ten days and then call the office. I left this appointment quite hopeful. I ended up calling three separate times and leaving multiple messages with nurses. Nearly three weeks after said appointment I got a call from a medical assistant telling me that they were moving me forward in the process and I'd be meeting with Dr. Julie Glass to discuss next steps. I was ecstatic! When I went for my appointment with Dr. Glass she made it clear that this wasn't the next step in the process, but that Dr. Jacobs had transferred my case to her. I asked if he had spoken to the doctors to get their approval and I was told by Dr. Glass that all of what he said about that was incorrect, as in, he had blatantly, point blank lied to me and my loved ones. In actuality, the decision about this procedure comes down to the individual doctor. She said that while she supports my ability to choose, she no longer does surgery and wasn't sure why Dr. Jacobs had transferred me to her and not another doctor in the practice who does surgery. I found out then that Dr. Jacobs also doesn't do surgery anymore, which was something he never mentioned. Dr. Glass could tell how frustrated I was and said that only three doctors in the practice do these types of operations and she called them to see if any would be willing to take my case. After nearly 15 minutes out of the office, she returned to say that the only doctor who would consider taking my case was Dr. Block, but that she was relatively sure it wouldn't happen due to my age. She then took me to the front and I scheduled in with Dr. Block. While at the desk, Dr. Jacobs was right nearby and acted like he didn't even know me. I called a couple days later and cancelled my appointment with Dr. Block because after thinking about it for a while I realised that this practice was just stringing me along. They had no intention of doing a tubal for me even though I supplied them with all of the documents and info they asked for. They were using me to bill insurance for full gyno appointments and taking my copay money. It's disappointing to say the least. I've been turned down for tubals multiple times over the years, but I've never had a medical practice conduct themselves so unprofessionally. I've never been treated with such a lack of respect.
