Hi!

So I just moved to Alexandria (22302) 2-ish months ago, and I need to find a gynocologist. The problem is, I work 6:30-3, Monday-Friday, and as I am new I cannot afford to ask for the time off. No one here seems to have evening/Saturday appointments!

Also, I have had some pretty bad experiences with ultra-conservative doctors, so does anyone have any suggestions? I can't deal with someone who wants to lecture me about my sex life, or who wants to talk about natural childbirth (not that I'm currently pregnant - however, I am the type of person that wants a scheduled c-section should that happen). Basically, I need someone who will give me a birth control presciption and let me go on my way.

Does such a doctor exist here? And if one does, do they have office hours that are accomadating?

I went here: The Physician & Midwife Collaborative Practice

They're open until 5, and at least 1 Saturday per month.

Mostly I went there because I could walk there from my apartment, but the care was good. I saw Catherine Armstrong, and really liked her. I'm not pregnant, just wanted BC and she prescribed it and sent me on my way
