Bettini Emery Obstetrics & Gynecology

OB Care

Although you may prefer to have one of us mainly responsible for your continued care all during your pregnancy, we do ask that during your pregnancy you make appointments with all of us. This is for your benefit since there is no way of knowing which of us will be on call when your labor begins. During your pregnancy, you should have medical care available continuously. A practice such as ours, assures this continuity of care. A doctor and your medical records are always available. When one of us is on-call at the hospital, the others are available here at the office seeing patients.

Prenatal classes are available. Please call the office at (703) 978-5440 for more information.

GYN Care

You will have the physician of your choice as your primary physician for your periodic check-ups and scheduled visits. There may be times when you have an emergency problem which occurs at a time when your personal physician is not in the office. In that case, the other physicians will be available to take care of your needs. Each one of us has access to all the medical records and communicates with each other, so that if an emergency does come up, we will be familiar with your medical history.
