It is with tremendous sadness that we must share the passing of our dear colleague Dr. Robert Levitt. One of the original partners of our practice for over 45 years.
He lead the way in not only
establishing the thriving practice of our CWC division 27, but also in setting the unique tone of our group for providing the best medical care possible in a warm and caring atmosphere.
He will be deeply missed by generations of patients in our practice and our thoughts are with his family at this very sad, difficult time.
Starting June 1, we will be doing all deliveries at Holy Cross Silver Spring. You can still be seen in our Germantown office for routine obstetric visits and sonograms as well as well woman exams and all gynecologic visits.
Please view the video below to learn how to prepare for your delivery visit. We look forward to providing you with exceptional obstetric care.
After 30yrs of service to both our obstetric and gynecologic patients, Dr. Jessica Berger Weiss is transitioning out of the obstetric realm. As of January 1, 2022 she will continue to serve our family of patients for their GYN care, but no longer deliver babies into the world.
While we will miss her contributions to obstetrics, we cannot be more excited about this new chapter in her career. It is well deserved!
