The Drake Difference

Continuous Care,
Not Assembly-Line Medicine

In most practices, you see a different doctor at every visit and have no idea who will deliver your baby. With Dr. Drake's concierge obstetric care, you build a real relationship with the physician who will be there on the day that matters most.

Dr. Drake provides continuous attendance during labor. She does not hand off to a covering physician. She is on call 24/7 for her patients, and her extended prenatal visits give you the time to ask every question, voice every concern, and feel truly prepared.

Her training at George Washington University included a strong focus on complex obstetrical surgery and surgical emergencies, meaning she is prepared to handle any situation with calm expertise while keeping your birth experience as close to your vision as possible.

Over 3,000 babies delivered. Board-certified by the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
