I can't thank Dr.Hotchkiss and his staff enough for their support and encouragement during the last couple of weeks of my pregnancy. It was hard trying to get their OB care due to other places but they did amazing at caring for myself and my son. The staff were very understanding and helpful with anything and everything that I was uncertain about. I will be recommending his OB care to anyone looking for THE BEST women's medical care. For first time moms it is scary but this Doc and his team will surely help you along the way until that very life changing moment. Thank you again Dr. and team for your above and beyond hard work in making sure baby and I were healthy and happy! Baby Elijah surely enjoyed your care and company read more

So far my experience with this office has been great! I'm a first time mommy and during covid with my own medical issues anxiety is high. The staff is so kind and loving. They always return my calls so quickly and even when I had hesitation about the delivery facility Judy took time to make me feel comfortable and didn't get upset with my concerns. They all seem to want what is best for my baby and my own needs. I have literally postponed a military move thats close to my family just to stay with this team and thus far I have ZERO regrets. I hope I continue to have a positive experience with this office and will update my review once little one arrives! Dr.Hotchkiss and his staff have impressed this first time mom with their empathy and patience. I'm so glad I listened to my local friends across Maryland who told me "He's the man"! read more

Hotchkiss ObGyn - 20 weeks! Perfect baby boy. - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

I can't stress enough how great of a person Dr. Hotchkiss is. I've been to other practices where I felt as if I was in a factory. Dr. Hotchkiss takes his time with his patients and I really feel like I am able to build a relationship with my doctor. His bedside manner is wonderful. With this being my first pregnancy I am a ball of worries until I see Dr. Hotchkiss. He answers all my questions and is always reassuring. I am very thankful to have him as my OB. read more

BEST OBGYN AROUND. Most personalized, attentive, effective care for you and your baby! Cant ask for better.

Excellent care! Great bedside mannerisms! Takes the time to explain everything to you.....you feel like a patient and not a number.

Received a bill from this office. Never heard of this Dr. before. Lived here form over 10 years now and been seeing the same OBGYN. Called and Judy was extremely rude and was told she is the office manager. The bill I have received after long arguments with her is from a "no show". Why would I call a Doctor when I have been seeing the same doctor for years and am still going to my doctor. She (Judy) called me a liar. Looked up reviews for this place and see nothing positive and called my insurance to report them as well as the BBB. Steer clear and be cautious and report them if you get a bill and have never heard of them - like what happened with me for what they call a no show. They agreed I have never been there but they have my name and information. They are scamming people with fake invoices per BBB website. read more

I am currently 5 months pregnant and transferred from VA to MD. After researching physicians in the area I visited Dr. Hotchkiss's office. I was immediately disappointed with the service. The nurse went over my medical history and asked the required questions. When I told the nurse that I would not like to receive donor blood she immediately got defensive and told me to think of my kids and asked if I was a Jehovah witness. I thought this was very inappropriate. After going over my medical history I was then placed in a room where I was greeted by Dr. Hotchkiss. He was very polite and informative. I chose this physician because of the small practice and it's a one physician practice. After speaking with Dr. Hotchkiss blood work was drawn. I asked pertinent questions as to what tests are being performed because I had already had labs drawn from my previous physician. I found that they did not even review my medical chart before requesting certain test. After speaking with the phlebotomist she noticed that there were several test that were ordered that were already in my chart. A few days later I was scheduled for a ultrasound, in my mind I'm thinking this is really good service. I go in for the ultrasound. The Tech was awesome she explained thoroughly. I was very pleased. I was told everything looked great but would need to come back because the baby was positioned in an awkward position and she couldn't get a good picture of the heart. To my surprise Dr. Hotchkiss gives me a call the Monday following my ultrasound stating there were abnormalities with the heart and referred me to a specialist in Rockville. I go to the appointment as requested. During the visit I receive not so good news and was asked if I would like to terminate the pregnancy. I told the dr that,that was not an option and ask them to do what they can to save my baby. An amniocentesis was performed. I received a call from the office on Monday stating that the preliminary results detect birth defects but they can't say for sure until the final results are received. I thought this was a very inconsiderate practice. Why would you contact a pregnant woman with incomplete results, which could result in unnecessary stress on the pregnancy. After receiving the substandard care I informed the nurse or who ever called me that I would like to get a second opinion from my OBGYN in VA. The nurse was very rude and told me that my second opinion would make a difference the results are final and my baby will be born with this defect if I decided to continue with the pregnancy. After hanging up with the nurse I received a call from Dr. Hotchkiss's office, the nurse on the other end was very rude and asked why I wanted to have second opinion. I went to explain why, then remembered that I don't owe her an explanation as to why. She basically tried to make me feel as if it was not my right to make this decision. During this ordeal I have only spoken to Dr. Hotchkiss twice. I feel as his patient it is his responsibility to ensure that he thoroughly explain the diagnosis and ensure that I understand. It has been my experience that they read directly from the chart and the nurse googled one of the tests performed. I understand that no one remembers everything but at least google before you call the patient in to go over test results.not to mention that the hospital this physician is affiliated with happens to be the worst facility in Southern MD. I have decided to not continue my prenatal care with this physician. I understand that there maybe issues with my pregnancy but the week I have been with this physician has truly been a nightmare. I have decided to drive 3hrs to VA as often as possible to receive my prenatal care. Dr. Hotchkiss is friendly but his affiliates could use more compassion and bedside mannerism training. read more

Every appointment so far has been wonderful. Dr. Hotchkiss is always kind, respectful, and takes time to explain what he is doing and why. I always feel taken care of and that I have the ability to ask any questions. He has excellent bedside manner and is always willing to spend time answering and explaining each step in what he is doing and the next steps after your appointment. I'm glad that I switched to him for this pregnancy. read more

Review Update: I am updating my review after several issues with this business. Truthfully the doctor is awesome. He is kind, considerate, and all that I sought in a doctor's beside manner. However, after being there since 2014 I feel I can no longer do business with this organization. There are major staff issues in regards to interaction with follow-up, attitude, and professional responsibility. I'll just share my most recent experiences. I was advised that I needed surgery to further evaluate a condition. It took WEEKS before I was afforded the results of the surgery (May 22 to June 20th) and after many telephone calls and speaking to staff and the office manager (which is the doctor's wife) I decided to just go into the office (unexpectedly) to get my results. When I spoke with the nurse I was told "no news is good news" like I should be happy that they didn't ever let me know the true results of my surgery. I am not going back to this practice. Previous Review: After conducting research online and by conducting personal interviews of women I knew that lived in the Waldorf area, I decided to try Dr. Hotchkiss. I had to seek another physician after I was told my doctor retired and sold his business to a local network. In addition, I was told I could see the currently assigned physician, however; I felt it was a good time to find another doctor. From the minute of my arrival, I was greeted by a very professional and warm staff. I advised it was my first visit and that I was looking to speaking with the doctor before totally committing to becoming a patient. I was assured that I would find Dr. Hotchkiss to be caring of my personal gynecological health and that he would sit down with me before any exam would be conducted as a formal meet and greet. While waiting another patient told me she had been Dr. Hotchkiss's patient for years and she assured me he was a outstanding doctor that cares about his patients, As promised, he came into the room, introduced himself and together we discussed my previous health care, my goals and he advised he would conduct my annual exam upon completion of my interview/consultation session. He knew my previous gyn and thanked me for the opportunity to afford me care. I was extremely impressed with my visit and thought that a lot of doctor's could gain from Dr. Hotchkiss team and their bedside manner! I like and support small business physicians. I feel a lot of time when doctor's belly up with these networks or huge teams that sometimes the patients are left holding the bag in regards to receiving that old fashion quality healthcare. So my hat goes off to Dr. Hotchkiss and his team: they get it that money is green and could be spent anywhere. I have now found a great Gyn! I understand that part of having a good doctor is knowing how to be a good patient! My health is very important to me and therefore selecting the right doctor is equally as important! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Hotchkiss for just over 30 years, through 4 pregnancies. He is a very caring, competent Dr. His bedside manner is superb. He also helped me after one of my deliveries, when the hospital staff was trying to give me Rhogam, but Dr. Hotchkiss knew that I didn't need that. I didn't care for one of his associates, though, who delivered one of my babies, but not long after I complained to Dr. Hotchkiss about her, she was gone. I've never had any gynecological problems, but when I did have a questionable mammogram, Dr. Hotchkiss took the time to call me up and reassure me that I didn't need to worry. (and he was right). ,I would highly recommend Dr. Hotchkiss. I am not looking forward to when he retires. read more

Jamie M. and all other patients at Civista have not been told the truth about dr h. He didn't retire..he didn't leave by choice, he would have stayed until oct. but wasn't allowed. He has opened up his own office again in Pembrooke in another bldg. If you still want him as your dr, transfer from Civista to him. I have been a patient of his for 11 years and will be as long as he is in practice. He is wonderful ! read more
