Tchabo Jean-Gilles MD

THIS DOCTOR IS AMAZING! Dr. Tchabo helped my husband and I flip our son around when he was in breech position at 37 weeks. That morning started off with a deer running out in front of the car on the way to my work. Even though I wasn’t hurt, I was sent in an ambulance to INOVA Loudoun to get the baby checked out. My son was moving all over the place and when the ultrasound showed he was breech I knew he flipped in the ambulance ride over.
My midwife recommended I see Dr. Tchabo. They wrote his name down on a Post-​It and his number. They put that at the top of a bunch of papers that showed me exercises to encourage the baby to turn around before the 40 weeks. My midwife had a huge sparkly smile when she said his name and told me to try him first before doing any of the recommended exercises.
We called Dr. Tchabo’s office when we left the hospital around 2pm and was able to get an appointment to see Dr. Tchabo at 2:45pm. Everyone from the receptionist to the ultrasound technician were so kind and welcoming. We did have to wait until 4pm to actually see him, but we had to do all the preliminary weigh in, ultrasound, etc. before that anyway. The wait was worth it! He evaluated me and said he could do an external cephalic version. Because I was so close to the end of my pregnancy, he sent me to the nearby hospital to have me admitted to labor and delivery just in case the baby came early with the version.
After checking in at the hospital and waiting until 7:30pm, Dr. Tchabo came into the room where I was prepped for the procedure. It took him and another doctor less than 30 seconds to flip my baby around! It was amazing! My husband and I had huge relief off of our shoulders and a great love for this man after he helped our baby.
People who gave low ratings seemed to be evaluating the waiting room and not the doctor. He is so good everyone wants him to take care of their baby before he/​she arrives in this world. Yes, the waiting room was small, but I wouldn’t give Dr. Tchabo a low rating for that.
After all I went through that day I met Dr. Tchabo, I am more than eager to recommend him to any pregnant woman who needs to see a miracle doctor!

I have been to many gynecologists in the 23 years I have had the need of one. Most have been adequate and some have been horrible. I have never had a great one UNTIL I began seeing Dr. Tchabo. Yes, sometimes you have to see someone else in the office, but every single person on staff is professional, kind, and know their stuff. Dr. Tchabo is super nice, well-​mannered, compassionate, empathetic, and thorough. He was concerned about me as a whole person. He gave me some advice that I needed to hear that I never thought I would hear from a Obgyn. It was the right advice at the right moment. This doctor gets right to the heart of the matter, is very knowledgeable extremely personable, and has a sense of humor. I am so glad that I found Dr Tchabo’s practice. They are a great bunch of people.

Dr. Tchabo is excellent and I would recommend him to anyone.
The practice is horrible though. Our insurance covers maternity 100%, except when there is incorrect billing. This practice billed us for something it shouldn’t according to my insurance provider, and this office would not answer my call or even return my messages when I inquired about it. They waited until my wife was within days of delivering prematurely to threaten to kick her out of their maternity care during an appointment unless she paid cash. Everyone there said «there’s nothing I can do», and missing that appointment would have jeopardized their health.

Dr. Tchabo was my OBGYN during my second pregnancy. I truly like him and would use him again if I decided to have another child. He is very knowledgeable and has so much experience. He always made me and my husband feel comfortable and took his time to explain things. Dr. Tchabo was right on with my delivery and due date. He always checked to make sure my hemoglobin was fine because I ‘m anemic. Dr. Tchabo was always available even after hours. Although he is a great Doctor who I would highly recommend, I do have some complaints. The office is old and doesn’t appear to be clean but it is. It’s just old! The front desk girls although they are nice, they don’t know what they are doing half of the time. I always had to make sure my name and birth date was correct on everything. At one point, I was in the waiting room with a girl with the same name, and if I didn’t check my name and birthdate– I would probably had done her sugar test. I did have to wait sometimes for a while before I was seen. Other than that, he is a great doctor!

My first and only visit here was for my annual pap. Upon arrival the small waiting area was packed with people, maybe 15 with others coming in after me. The front desk said the doctor had delivered 2 babies that afternoon and so all his appts. were late. The doctor was back now and they had no idea when my appt would be now. Are you kidding me??? I took half a day off work and no one at the front desk could have done the courtesy of calling me hours ago to reschedule. Pregnant women had been waiting there, with husbands and/​or kids and I couldn’t help but think how inconvenient this was even moreso for them. I could only come to the conclusion that the priorities of the practice outweighed the inconvenience of many patients. That’s just not good customer service.
I waited for about 30 mins. Then I let the front staff know I would be back in about 1 hour as I didn’t want to pay for the parking while I was waiting there and needed to grab something to eat. I came back and waited another 30 mins. So 2 hours later I saw the doctor. Many of the patients that came after me rescheduled as they weren’t going to see the doctor until 7−8pm that night the way things were going.
The nurse who took my health history did so in the doctor’s office with the door wide open. Other patients and staff walked by as she asked me personal questions. I thought this was rather unprofessional and asked if she could close the door before I further divulged my private information.
Upon seeing the doctor he was an older gentleman. I don’t know how he has the stamina to deliver 2 babies and see that many patients in one day. He was the sweetest doctor and had so much knowledge and advice. I had only seen female gynos for the past 15 years or so. There was no awkwardness, very professional and a comfortable, genuinely sincere bedside manner. He was concerned about another aspect of my health unrelated to his specialty and that was great that he looked at my health as a whole.
I will go back again to see if the level of customer service has improved because the doctor was great and the staff was pleasant. Perhaps they had an off day and the first impression I had will change for the positive during my next visit.
My rating went from a 3 to a 1 when I called to schedule my next annual pap smear and the receptionist said the doctor wasn’t available but the midwife was. WTF!!! So I’m suppose to let a person who specializes in delivering babies exam my breasts and vagina for cancer??? This profession has no extensive medical training to do this, I’m in shock. Upon my disapproval she said I can see another new doctor at the practice. I researched this doctor online and she just completed residency and isn’t even a board certified OBYN GYNO. NO THANKS! They said my insurance would cover it because it will all go under Dr. Jean-​Giles name. That seems really shady and I’m not entrusting this practice to make good medical decisions for me.
An update. I recently received an email from a staff nurse who was concerned about my experience and assured me that 1. There have been many improvements since my last visit 2. She dropped some knowledge on me as far as midwifery credentials/​experience which gave me more insight into knowing that this wasn’t a completely ridiculous notion. They do have a level of training/​experience and legally can do this. I would still prefer a board certified Gynecologist screening for cancer. It still was nice to receive some feedback regarding my concern. She didn’t attempt to sway my review, or respond negatively. She just wanted explain her perspective and wanted my repeat business. I have a gyno doctor that I see now that I’m very happy with so I’m not looking to make a change. I have amended my review to 2 stars as follow ups are just good customer service.
