I got the elixer for you...
Need an OBGYN?
Are you broke/have no insurance/need a pap and you're broke/ need birth control/want to ensure medical privacy when you get an AIDS test/did you have unprotected sex or the condom broke and you need the morning after pill/do you need an unplanned pregnancy terminated?

when i posted this i forgot to add some other reccomendations friends and collegues of mine sent:
-Deborah Edge, Washington Primary Care.
--- Russell Bridges (OBGYN) at 24th and M street. He
takes CIGNA and is very thorough. Many Mums on the DC Urban Mums
group seem
to think highly of him as well. He is also a resident at GW so you can choose what option you
prefer.
his biggest drawback is that he is a guy, and justdoesn't understand labor -- although he does of course realize that it is a lot of pain :) I should also tell you that I had some frustrations about him going on frequent holidays when I got to term but that is a problem you probably can't avoid in a single person practice.
He does all the tests in his office and has sonogram equipment
so you won't have to go different places to get stuff done.
-go to
Dr. Schaffel on 19th. She is just
excellent.
She recommended Bridges in the first place when she changed
her insurance policy. One thing I will say is that it is
becoming harder
and harder to find a good obgyn in DC because malpractice
insurance is
so high. If you are prepared to travel to MD or VA, your choice widens
