Finding Capital Women’s Care and Nurse Kim Severn was the greatest blessing for my baby and I. I was seeing a fertility specialist and my last day there they told me that I had graduated from them and needed to see my OBGYN. It Show morecaught me off guard because I thought I was going to continue my pregnancy with them the entire time. I asked for a referral and the doctor gave me a referral to someone who wasn’t taking any new patients. Needless to say, I went into a panic and was upset. After doing my own research I narrowed my search down to my top 3 options based on experience, staff and digital presence. I called around to see who would accept me as a new patient. After being accepted by two of my options I did research on the doctors or midwives I would see. I was so impressed by the information I found on midwife Kim Severn so I decided to stick with that appointment. My first appointment was excellent. Kim was thorough, firm, friendly and direct all at the same time. She educated me about my body, the baby and even offered tips for my family and friends. Kim was able to tell me things about my body no other doctor was able to identify. My next interaction was an after hours call to tell me that my test results came back positive and that she called in a prescription for me. I don’t know about you but I love the fact that she works around the clock to ensure her patients are cared for. She could have easily waited until the next morning to call me. The evening call was perfect because I was able to pick up my prescription the next day before work. After that I scheduled a virtual appointment due to experiencing severe nausea. It was amazing as we went over my options as far as medications that are on the market and found the one that was best for me. I had an issue with my prescription at the pharmacy and notified her. Within 15-20 minutes of me calling her the pharmacist was calling me saying my prescription was ready for pickup. My next interaction was an office visit and it was just as great as the first one. I had a list of things that I wanted to discuss and didn’t get a chance to pull out my list because she was proactively asking me about the questions that I had. Kim is extremely in tune and knowledgeable about her patients. I recently made an appointment with her and was scheduled within 48 hours to review the truths about COVID and pregnancy concerns I have about exposure because of my race, age, pregnancy treatment and work environment. I’m actually looking forward to speaking with her because I’m sure she will address all of my concerns and put my mind at ease. I rarely write reviews but she deserves it. Thank you Nurse Severn!

The office is clean and inviting. The staff was friendly, and Ms. Wilkerson maintained my dignity throughout the exam. She was thorough, friendly, and professional. And the wait time was great! I was back in my car 47 minutes after I walked into the office!
I was comfortable
Dr. Cobbs is amazing! She takes her time and makes sure you are thoroughly satisfied with your visit before she leaves to go to the next patient. I’m so glad that I have her for a doctor. Wish I had her as my OBGYN when I had my kids.
Attentive and caring physician.
Great first visit!
I finally found a doctor who will listen to me talk through options instead of just telling me what to do.
Very kind and thorough doctor. I felt well treated and the office staff is friendly and pleasant.
Great appointment! New to the area and so happy to find a good doctor, facility, and network of care givers!
My first experience with this office was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I booked my appointment the information, care, competency, kindness and professionalism was spot on. Since I was transferring from a Loudoun County Capital Women’s Care office to Arlington I was thrilled to find out that they already were able to access my file. Seamless and professional!
Dr Holmes has a great bedside manner, Shea easy to talk to and the exam is always quick but thorough!
I love the new office in location and setting.
I came to see Dr Holmes for a second opinion. She took so much time with me to explain my condition, go over my options, and ultimately she will perform my surgery. She made me feel comfortable, respected and eased my fears. I’m so glad I found her!
Doctor Cobbs is very attentive and friendly. She is caring and helpful.
This was my first appointment with Dr. Holmes and it couldn't have went smoother. She has a very approachable personality and I felt like she was truly listening to every word that I said.
Great experience! Wonderful customer service and I really appreciated that Dr. Shah could see me on a holiday.
The care provided by the medical professionals at Capital Women's Care is phenomenal. I have never had healthcare specialists take so much time to listen to my issues and concerns, and so thoroughly address them with patience and kindness. I have been seeing Dr. Shah and other providers at this facility for years and have never had a bad experience. I highly recommend them!
Attentive and thorough care from the doctor and staff. Minimal wait time. Convenient location.
Thanks for both listening and making me feel heard.
Wonderful visit, the staff was polite and all quite knowledgeable. Dr. Cobb is cautious and reassuring. I felt very comfortable with her for my first time visit of being newly pregnant. Thanks for taking care of me! :)
Love Dr. Cobbs and Dr. Holmes. The front desk staff is also wonderful!
As always, Dr Shah was friendly and engaging. She took the time to listen and make sure I had all the information I needed. And the new location is excellent!
Very nice office, almost relaxing like a spa. Dr. Holmes took her time and I appreciate the time spent to hear my concerns. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a ob/gyn.
