Best High Risk/ C-Section Dr.

miasol16

I live in southern PG County and work in DC. I am 6 weeks and considered high risk...I have fibroids and adenomyosis and had IV. Because of my surgical history, I need a C-Section. Any recommendations for good high risk doctors? My preferred hospital affiliation are Washington Hispital Center, GW, Georgetown and Holy Cross. Thanks ladies! Blessings and best of luck to everyone!

Hi MamaMiaZ12,  I do not have any recommendations for a C-section doctor as I do not have this experience; however, based on my experience with my last pregnancy, I recommend The Center For Fetal Maternal Medicine in Annapolis, specifically Dr. Lantz. I also hear Dr. Sweeny is excellent, though I do not have experience with him. I know this is outside of your preferred hospital affiliation, but I thought I would pass on the information.

*loss mentioned* I live in North Anne Arundel County and work in PG county, so it is a drive at least twice a month. My last pregnancy ended in loss at 26 weeks (severe IUGR from 18 weeks) and I can honestly say that I believe they did everything scientifically possible to have the best possible outcome. They also knew when to say, 'I don't know' or recommend another doctor. Before I became pregnant with #2 (I am 8 wks, high-risk now), they made sure all necessary tests were completed to figure out what happened in my first pregnancy and met with me before I conceived to come up with a  'treatment plan' (proactive). I have a rare clotting disorder that they are treating aggressively in this second pregnancy, a decision which I also respect and agree with.  Also, they can always get me in within 1-3 days when needed. I don't care for the waiting area or front desk people, but that is not why I am there, so I overlook it.  Blessings and best of luck to you!!
