Reviews

  • Andrea Cot

First time I feel connected with a Dr. She listened very carefully and make auto to know every detail about my endometriosis history, also she explained to me anything that could help me to know more about this problem and of course I’ll keep coming here till we can find a solution. I highly recommend Dr Reepa Shah ❤️

  • Rachel Kern

NP Katherine Strike has been fabulous- she was extremely attentive during my first visit and I didn’t feel rushed. She was a great listener and answered a lot of my questions thoroughly. Highly recommend her, and I will be going back regularly to see her. Her nurse Samantha was also great and very professional.

  • Sarah Kiernan

The space is amazing and I had the best experience with Deborah Cobb. Every touch point I could tell was designed to make me feel comfortable which is so important when dealing with health. I felt heard and listened to and it was the first time with a doctor that I didn't feel rushed. Really amazing.

  • Stephanie Migdail

I am so glad I picked Liv as my OB practice. Not only are they super close to where I live, but the staff is warm and professional. Dr. Kressel is excellent! She answers all my questions and made my pregnancy really comfortable. We now have a healthy, adorable one month old!

  • Fara A

Please think twice before choosing Liv for your OBGYN services. One of the primary reasons I choose Liv was because they promised both primary care and obgyn services in addition to services like mental health and other perks. I was willing

  • Piper Strzelecki

I never thought I would leave a review of a doctor’s office, but I would 100% recommend Liv. The practitioner who did my procedure was patient, kind, and did everything she could to make me feel comfortable. Liv has done everything they can

  • Katharina Doets

The doctor was very nice and communicative. However, it’s been 2 weeks since my appointment and I still have not received my (standard) test results. They never reached out to me. I called multiple times and didn’t receive any real response

  • J

Lovely clinic and I really like the provider I saw. However like other reviewers I received a large and unexpected bill for my annual (despite being well insured). Tried phoning several times and leaving messages - realised if you press '1'

  • Andie Lowery

My first visit was fine and the staff were nice. I didn't have an issue with the staff or doctor I booked. However, after my first visit I noticed a significant decline in professionalism. They have a 2-hour "lunch break", which during this

  • Sarah Barrett

This office is fantastic! Making an appointment was easy; I could fill out all of my paperwork and health history online; the MAs and doctor were kind, caring, and competent; and no one rushed me out of the office or to end the appointment.

  • Caitlin Rowan

I just had my first appointment and I learned more from the team there than I have in the last 15 or so years I have been going to the gyno. Everyone took their time to chat and make me feel at ease, especially when I mentioned I have a bit

  • Mary Nail

Can’t say enough good things about Liv! It’s such an inviting environment—warm lighting, comfortable furniture, and pretty colors and decor. And the standard of care is just as good! I saw Dr. Smith for my annual well woman exam and she was

  • Holly M

I knew Liv was going to be a great office when I saw a copy of Untamed by Glennon Doyle on the bookshelf in the waiting room. Very nice, modern office and friendly MA who took my vitals. Dr. Kressel was so patient and attentive, truly made

  • Sarah Adams

After paying the $149 annual membership, the practice no longer has a primary care provider. I tried to make an appointment and was offered a referral sheet. I never would have paid $149 to be a member at an office that only offered OBGYN.

  • Lindsay Paulen

Really can't emphasize how wonderful of an experience I've had being a member at Liv. I've struggled so much with finding good care in DC, and both Dr. Cobb, Dr. Kressel and all the staff have been nothing short of amazing. I feel listened

  • Margaret Whiteley

Easy scheduling, lovely in office experience, friendly staff and compassionate nurses and doctors. I appreciate a one-stop shop for all medical concerns/ needs and I so appreciate being seen and treated as a person, not just a patient with

  • Grace Winschel

Liv charged a membership fee despite having no primary care physicians to actually provide care. Once I learned they could not provide the care advertised, I promptly requested a refund. Liv not only ignored my refund request, it issued a

  • Kelley Schiffman

Providers are great but the infrastructure (billing, scheduling, medical records, patient communication) needs work. Hoping this improves as the business settles. I was also hoping the membership fee would mean shorter wait times but that

They scam you out of money. The staff is nice and attentive, the doctors are experienced and the place itself is clean and modern. BUT! when it comes to the billing it all turns to a major headache. They don't have a billing department on

I was initially skeptical about establishing care here after reading some reviews and wasn't sure if the membership would be worth it. The only provider I have seen has been Dr. Cobb and she has been incredible. She is empathetic, a great

This was my first visit. My appointment was at 8am. The doctor was late. Rushed out after my appointment while I was trying to ask more questions. Then didn’t send my prescriptions. I called four times and they said she it’s with patients

  • Raven Gomez

Dr. Shah is one of the best GYN's I've ever seen! She took the time to explain everything about my appointment in detail, addressed all the concerns I had, gave me an extensive list of options, and just gave me background information that

  • Chloe Wellens

Fair warning to everyone: You will be billed for your annual wellness exam if you mention any concerns you have outside of the typical exam, even if they do not provide treatment. I brought up a concern that I was experiencing, the doctor

  • J. B.

My GYN left the practice that I am currently in and I thought maybe I would try this practice since it is within walking distance from my place, in network with my insurance, and I liked that they offer a mail prescription service. I went

  • Eliza

I had an extremely poor experience here during an annual exam. The NP I saw, katherine strike, rushed through my appointment and had an anxiety-inducing bedside manner. Pushed birth control pills on me, and dismissed concerns i had about

  • Rebecca Birkholz

Comfortable, caring and efficient! I went to Liv for my annual exam today that I had been putting off, using COVID as my excuse, but really I had had some bad experiences with OBGYNs in the past not listening to my concerns and needs but

  • Grace Gauvreau

They neglected to tell me that my Primary Care Doctor left and that they no longer offered Primary Care services, which allowed to my inability to request a refill for critical medication. They also left me without referrals for Primary

I was looking forward to this appointment as the OBGYN on comes to this location every once in awhile. After waiting 2 weeks they called me they day of to tell me they don’t take my insurance after I had filled out all of the paper work

  • Caroline L

While the OBGYN and office staff I interacted with were nice, the overall experience with LIV was incredibly disorganized. My appointment ran late, they had issues with my insurance (despite having provided it before the appointment and

  • Paola Mannan

Amazing team! They have been super helpful and kind through my pregnancy experience. Love Dr. Kressel, she is thorough, understanding, flexible and available. My husband really wanted to have someone that could also make him part of the

  • Foram Mehta

This place is a literal marketing scam. I signed up for a membership last year with hopes that I would benefit from all the in-house care, but there is absolutely nothing different you get here in terms of member benefits than any other

  • Alli Hartley-Kong

I saw a provider here two times in October. I felt very heard (the first time I ever felt heard in a gynecologist office) until it came to the office follow up. After my first appointment, the dr. identified an issue that required a MRI

  • Emily Crisan

I really like the providers at this office but would not recommend and will not be returning due to wait times. The past 3 times I have gone I have had to wait 40+ minutes in the waiting room even though I was on-time or early. This was

  • Linda Steele

Best OB office! I have never had to wait long, it’s brand new, and clean with a spa like feel. Everyone that works there is super nice. They can do all your blood work in house too so no need to go to a lab and wait in those long lines.

  • Angie Knox

I love this place and the providers. Everyone is here to help you get to the best health possible. I actually enjoy coming, knowing that I am cared for. One time I broke down crying and Nurse Strike asked me if I needed a hug ❤️ (I did

  • Corrine Hood

Our experience was wonderful at Liv! With this being my first pregnancy, I was very nervous with what to expect. However, I was put at ease every step of the way! The receptionist was so friendly and it was very easy to check in and to

  • bonnerghgirl13

I never leave a comment, but please STAY AWAY if you value your time and energy that will be spent on calling your insurance company and Liv front office to still not get a hold of a billing representative to resolve a coding dispute.

  • Mariana Gomez

I paid, got there on time & still never got to see the ObGyn. I came for my appointment and the front desk was pleasant but having trouble figuring out how to collect my membership fee and check me for my appointment. By the time they

  • Anna Reimold

Had an excellent experience today. My doctor was wonderful and the whole staff was friendly and incredibly helpful. Everything felt efficient and well organized. I am happy I made the choice to transfer my care to this office/doctor.

  • Emily Porterfield

I love this gynecologist!!! I feel so comfortable with the staff and in the space. Dr. Shah has listened to my concerns, ordered all the tests that could help identify the problem, and given me treatment options. Would recommend!!

  • Caitlin & Dimitar Remmel

I wanted an OB office that felt personal and not like a patient conveyer belt. Liv Advantia was exactly what I was looking for. Dr Kressel and the entire staff took amazing care of me throughout my pregnancy. I am never leaving!

  • Madison Toomey

Katherine Strike is one of the most understanding, kind, and empathetic healthcare professionals I’ve ever met. She makes such an uncomfortable experience of going to OB-GYN a comfortable. Would definitely recommend seeing her!

  • Annie

Like other people, there were issues with staff not billing my insurance for things that are mandated to be covered by law, leaving me to sort out hundreds of dollars in bills that I'm still trying to figure out a month later.

This is the most comprehensive medical history and questions I have had ever! I felt so cared for and appreciative that she spent her time with each part of my exam! She explained everything so clearly and was just amazing!

I had a great 1st experience here. I felt comfortable to open up about my concerns and get the answers to the questions I’ve longed for. Dr. Boddu was amazing and I loved the atmosphere that she set. Strongly recommend!!

Dr. Shah and Samantha were super helpful during my appointment - they gave me lots of information and were extremely friendly while still being very professional. They were great and I will definitely be back!

If you're looking for an extraordinary office to get prenatal care or anything dealing with gynecology, LIV is the place to go!! I had an amazing experience with my prenatal care there from beginning to end!

  • Sarah A

Beyond horrible. Firstly, Dr. Kressel is incredible. My favorite OB of all time. The phlebotomist is also a queen. This is absolutely not about the providers I've seen, who I've been nothing but happy with.

  • Renata Satova

Wonderful experience, just had my first prenatal visit. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable. The appointment started exactly on time, modern facility. Highly recommend for any new moms in DC area!

This entire visit was amazing! :) The office is absolute beautiful, clean, and peaceful. Every staff member was kind and caring. So happy to have found such a wonderful office.

I really wanted to like this place honestly. But ultimately it’s a no for me. Let me first start by saying the office and patient areas are amazing. But that’s about it.

The office is comfortable and very nice. Dr. Sharon Kressel and her team were amazing, explained everything really great and made me feel safe.
