The Physician & Midwife Collaborative Practice was born out of the notion that as medicine and technology advances, “care” should still be the foundation of providing medical care to women. We focus on providing compassion, education and support in tandem with the best medical course of action for the individual. By bringing together board-certified OB/GYNs and midwives, we are able to provide our patients with high-touch care in combination with the latest medical technology. This may translate to planning for a natural childbirth with a first-time mother or creating a comprehensive treatment plan, including exercise for a woman who is struggling with menopause. We also do our best to keep this level of care accessible, by offering multiple providers, four office locations, extensive office hours, and 24/7 on-site staff at Inova Alexandria Hospital. In order to respond efficiently and accurately to your needs, we also maintain electronic medical records and offer centralized support staff who can access your lab results and quickly set appointments.

Today is World Prematurity Day
Prematurity (birth before 37 weeks of pregnancy) affects 1 in 10 babies in the U.S.
While there are some risk factors you cannot control, there are steps you can take - before and during your pregnancy - to help reduce your risk of preterm labor and birth.
Visiting your healthcare provider as soon as you think you are pregnant and going to all your scheduled prenatal care visits throughout your pregnancy can help your provider regularly monitor your health and the health of your baby, and manage chronic conditions that may impact your health.
