Pregnancy
Pregnancy and childbirth are significant life experiences, and Fairfax OB-GYN Associates is prepared to meet your healthcare needs through the entire process. We offer a full spectrum of collaborative care: from low intervention, holistic midwifery through management of complex medical conditions by board-certified obstetricians. Regular prenatal visits, including lab tests and sonograms on site, allow you to get to know us, as we partner to monitor your progress and prepare for a safe birth.
A Certified Nurse-Midwife and an Ob-Gyn physician are on call 24 hours a day for labor and delivery. We attend births at Reston Hospital Center and at Stone Springs Hospital in Dulles. We accept most insurance plans. Please schedule an appointment to learn more.
