Great Doctors

When I got pregnant, my fertility specialist sent me to Greater Washington Maternal Fetal Medicine and Genetics. From the first day there I always felt like I was the only patient and their top priority. Especially when I was staying in the hospital. They always checked up on me and made me feel as comfortable and reassured as possible. There were four doctors in the practice, and I got to know all of them. They all have amazing credentials, and I was comfortable with any of them, along with the rest of the great and caring staff. I was sad to move on after the pregnancy, as they mainly serve those with high risk pregnancies. It's funny how some of the most influential people in your life are usually only in it for a short time.

Anyway, I was so pleased to find that one of the docs, and now a friend of mine, was on the Today Show a few years back discussing an awesome sounding National Geographic program he took part in called Multiples in the Womb, and the advancing of technology with 4D ultrasounds. You can bet I added that to my Netflix queue immediately. I can't wait to see what craziness was happening in there when I the babes were in utero. And I have to say I was again reassured that we made the right decision to go with that practice to look after the babies and me during such an intense time, if he was asked to be a part in such a project. Check out his interview. I really miss Doctors Pinckert, Gallagher, Matia, and Manley (who was called out of bed at 3 am to deliver the little ones), all having a huge part in this great and pivotal time in my life. I'd recommend them to anyone I know.

Yes, good doctors are good. And bad ones are bad. Good good bad good. Bad bad good bad. Seriously, though, that multiples in the womb sounds cool!

Oh, I think I remember watching that a few years ago! It was totally amazing. I better put it on my queue as well.

And yes, my first doctor was not the best. My second group of doctors was great. It does make a huge difference in the overall experience. So glad you had awesome ones.
