Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

He listened to me and genuinely cared about me. It was so refreshing to have an OB take the time to hear my concerns and fears after having a second trimester loss. My other OB (also in BSWH) didn't care and rushed me out of appointments. I so appreciated Dr. Fothergill talking to me about options and my health if I ever decided to have a baby again.

He's very calm and nonalarmist. Sits and visits before an exam. I've had female gynecologists my entire adult life since I was in my mid twenties due to several male gynecologists I didn't like (I'm 65). I was unsure of switching to this provider but it's been a great move.

He took the time to meet with me and get to know me being that this was our very first visit. He was super informative and gentile while performing his assessment.
