I note that some of the reviews are hit or miss, but I see the lower reviews are gaining traction so I'm certain that I'm not alone in my negative experiences. A phlebotomist in Dr. Busch's office hit a nerve when drawing blood & pretended not to realize it when I asked about the pain & feeling as if I'd been electrocuted happened. The labcorp tech left me sitting in the private area, never returning to check on me. I went to the front desk to ask for help and for Dr. Busch only to be told "she's busy or at lunch". I left feeling confused and upset. I called the office later that day and daily for a week. 2-weeks or more later, Dr. Busch finally called back "to check on me" and to inform me that the tech works for labcorp. Another subsequent visit that I had with Dr. Busch is that when I inquired about options for menopausal related issues/supports, she gave disrespectful, ignorant advice that involved things outside of her scope of practice, and had nothing to do with me personal, but seemed more akin to racial bias and stereotype casting. Dr. Busch is not the best option for women of color- look & spend your $$ elsewhere for full on respect & dignity.

I so appreciate that she takes the time to LISTEN and actually check for causes, not just diagnose symptoms. She is very, very thorough, personable, and is not someone who will let things go until you are feeling better. Also, her front office staff, Gabriella Fatone, is very helpful and friendly. I have never experienced a wait time of more than ten minutes yet and I have been going for more than two years now. I absolutely love and recommend this gynecology practice.

She's NAMS certified, on top of the latest research, and is always genuinely on my side, working to help me feel as good as possible. Appointments are never rushed, and she's so easy to talk to. The office is pleasant and comfortable and accessible by Metro. Gabriella is also amazing and always helpful and responsive. They're both super responsive about refills and billing questions. I'm often stunned by my good fortune to have found Carina. She's certainly succeeding at her mission to better the lives of women, one patient at a time. I highly recommend her.

Very stressful doctor. When talking to her about my depression and anxiety, her response on TWO…read moreoccasions was "why are you depressed, you're pretty." Not a good joke... at all. She told me to get off my meds and when I got a second opinion, I was told it is better and preferred to stay on my antidepressants. She also insisted to see me every two weeks for no real reason and paid for sonogram each time. She told me this was standard and necessary. But it was incredibly costly and after mentioning that, they told me I have the choice to opt out of sonograms. Thanks for telling me that after I paid for almost 10 of them within my first few months... Every time I call the front desk to schedule, they screen their calls. Meaning they will not answer but then immediately text you back asking how they can help. It's incredibly unprofessional. This office has caused nothing but stress for me and my husband and our first pregnancy. Do not recommend.

FHBC is such a fantastic establishment. I know what you're thinking: "How on earth can an OBGYN be…read morefantastic? I dread my annual appointment!" Trust me when I say that the midwives and doctors at FHBC will make the experience much less uncomfortable than it might normally be. They're a very hippy-dippy establishment, so if that's not your thing, you may want to go elsewhere. They won't shove their ideas down your throat, but they do advocate childbirth in a birth center instead of hospital (duh...they are a birth center), breast feeding, and just about all other au-natural techniques there are. They really emphasize that their doors are open to anyone from any walk of life. They're warm and welcoming, and don't pass judgments. If you're not pregnant (I'm not) you can still use their services for your annual exam and, just recently, for primary care for the whole family (including men!). As far as annual exams go, they make sure the actual exam portion of the visit is very short. You won't be on that exam table for ages (thank god!). Instead of the drawn-out process I've experienced at other OBGYNs, they take a good 15 minutes before the exam to get to know you as a person (whoa! shocker!) and then about 2 minutes for the exam. Then they send you on your way! I highly recommend FHBC because every single staff member you interact with is friendly, and they really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. you can't ask for a better experience.

I thought it was worth coming back to mention that after a REALLY rough IUD insertion appointment…read morewhich culminated in me hugging the (really clean) toilet in the FHBC's bathroom and losing every ounce of my dinner (see: Shawafel review, it's really quite delicious on the way down), my nurse midwife sat with me for AN HOUR until I could peel myself off the examination table and head home. She exemplified patient care that night (I took a 7pm after-work appointment) and was just really fantastic all around. What's more, she called me a week later to check in on me and see how I was feeling. Young women in need of GYN care in DC - this place, in terms of customer service (as it were), is really as good as it gets. On a side note: in addition to waiting with me for an hour, the nurse midwife also was nice enough to call cab companies for me. Not ONE of FIVE companies picked up the phone. Not one. We were hold with one for over 20 minutes. F*ck me, DC needs better regulation on cab companies.

Dr Ibe is a wonderful, smart and caring person. She both listens and observes; then offers solutions to fit your needs and wishes. For instance, I told her I did not like taking prescription drugs. Each time, she has printed out exercises for my particular needs. The neck and shoulder exercises along with just 5 pills worked like a charm. I am for certain that the exercises I received today will be helpful as well. The office is clean and staff members are efficient, polite, and respectful. I highly recommend this practice, and trust this doctor with my health care.

All I can say is AMAZING STAFF, AMAZING HELP, VERY COMFORTING AND KNOWLEDGEABLE…read more Every nurse was amazing THE PLACE IS NOT DIRTY AT ALL. The office was nicely done up and made me feel comfortable. ESPECIALLY WHEN MY VISIT AT THE American Women's Services - Fairfax Address: 8316 Arlington Blvd #222, Fairfax, VA 22031 WAS HORRIBLE AND FRAUD (DO NOT GO THERE) Here at the falls church healthcare center I had one appt at 815 and was out by 9am Second appt at 3pm was seen quickly and efficiently and given all the proper information and out by 510pm. Everything was done properly and a follow up was set and plenty of information for me to take back and numbers to contact in the even of a question. The doctor was amazing and made me feel comfortable and relaxed as well as the licensed Anesthesiologist. Overall nothing bad to say about this location.

GO HERE TO BE MEDICALLY GASLIT!…read more I feel it is my duty to all women to do whats in my power to warn you about this facility. The staff and especially the doctor. I had an abortion in January and felt pretty comfortable with the environment (aside from the janky elevator) up until the actual pre surgery examination. A few of these staff members really shouldn't be in this field. The quality of care I received was horrendous. The actual procedure happened and went smoothly, until I woke up in a massive amount of pain. I've have also had an abortion previously, and I knew that this level of pain was much worse than I had experienced. I actually threw up it was so bad. I expressed this to the staff and the doctor. The staff gave me pain medication which definitely helped, and when they took me back so the doctor could look, he was very condescending and told me that I was sensitive and that everything was normal. He made me feel like I was crazy. I was bleeding more than normal, and I told staff and they told me it was fine. Im still bleeding today. At my follow up appointment (which had been rescheduled twice) I got there and they were completely short staffed. I have previously worked in a medical office so I was okay with waiting 30 or 45 minutes past my appointment time. I was not okay with the receptionist telling me as I entered the door that they tried to call me to reschedule, and walked away before I could speak. I was also not okay with waiting an hour and 15 minutes past my appointment time in order to be seen for a follow up ultrasound that should have taken 5 minutes. I brought up my concern to the woman at the desk and instead of apologizing or telling me what was going on that required such a long wait, she said they were setting up my room and gave me a forced and fake smile and rolled her eyes. I noticed other patients who arrived after me were being seen. I was frustrated and felt unheard. When I was finally called back, I expressed this to the receptionist who handled it horribly, with a verbal altercation. I have never in my life felt so disrespected by someone, especially someone working in such a sensitive field, a field that requires compassion. I was put into my room where I heard her and the doctor as well as other staff CACKLING about the argument and myself. I wanted to cry. When the doctor came in (her supposed boss) he ignored what I had brought up to him about the receptionist and the service I was being given. Instead he stuck by her side and didn't apologize for anything. For the ultrasound, no warning, just shoved the device inside of me. He rotated the screen toward me to show me a massive fibroid that was in the same spot as my previous pregnancy. This explained the pain and the bleeding. Why hadn't he noticed it before??? Why after the ultrasound, did he not explain what uterine fibroids were? Why did he not explain treatment? Why was I not receiving care??! So in conclusion, DONT GO HERE if you want to be treated like a human being. GO HERE IF you want to be bullied, minimized, unheard, disrespected, and ESPECIALLY go here if you want the kind of treatment I had with a heaping side of medical gaslighting. This Dr. should not have his license, let alone be practicing in a facility that is geared towards young women who are in vulnerable situations. I worry about the safety of other women.
