“Dear PoPville,

I’m looking for OBGYN recommendations (thinking about starting a family and currently see someone but would like to switch to someone I like more before embarking on getting pregnant). It looks like your last post with this question was over a year ago, and I know a lot has changed (e.g. GW not accepting any new patients right now), so I was wondering if the community could share some OBGYN recommendations?”
