I go to Simmonds and Simmonds up on Thomas Johnson Drive. It's a big practice (which has it's pluses and minuses) but overall I'm happy with them.
How big? I thought their were maybe 4 docs at this location? I guess not. Do they do a prelim meeting or do you just start going?
I also go to Simmonds and Simmonds and I was very happy with them. They are a large practice, but not all of the doctors work out of all of the offices. I mostly go to the Damascus office and I know that there are like four that routinely work at that location. I didn't see all of the doctors that could have delivered at Shady Grove (I'm closer to that hospital than I am to Frederick) since those doctors primarily worked at other locations, but I wasn't worried since I had been pleased with every other doctor that I had seen at the practice.
I started going there before I got pregnant, so I'm not sure if they do prelim meetings or not.
I really recommend them. I had a great experience and I will definitely be using them when I get pregnant with baby number two!
I love Simmonds and Simmonds. I switched to them after having a bad experience with Capital Women's Care out of Rockville (not the Frederick location). While the practice is "big", all of the doctors I have met so far are great! I see Dr. Helmbrecht specifically and she is great! She is just a meet and greet type meeting with me before I decided to go there full time (this was before I was pregnant). I have now seen 3 other doctors and they were great! I definitely highly recommend them.

Dr. Helmbrecht is my absolute favorite. I lucked out and she was the on call doc when I went into labor with DD. I would've been fine with any of them delivering her, but I was so happy to discover that Dr. Helmbrecht was there!
Re: PLEASE recommend your ob/gyn near Frederick
She only uses Kaiser?
