I can't say enough good things about Dr. Lightfoote and Foxhall. My previous OB decided to only do GYN so I needed to find a new physician when we were trying to get pregnant. After doing research I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Lightfoote and it was the best decision. I had a preexisting condition that required me to see a couple other specialists during my pregnancy and both referrals she gave me were to other wonderful doctors.

She never once rushed through an appointment or made me feel like she didn't have time for me. I am an extremely controlling, type A personality that does obsessive amounts of research and her laid back demeanor was definitely what I needed to counteract that. After our baby was born, she personally helped my husband get so many good pictures of him, what doctor does that!? Her nurse Bre is also so friendly and on top of everything, and all the nurses who do the blood draws were really good. During my rotations I also saw Drs Abraham and Bren, and Dr Messenger started my induction and all were all great. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough great things about this practice. I felt comfortable and well taken care of during my first pregnancy and had a great experience with all of the doctors I saw for my prenatal care. I am especially thankful for Dr. Kathleen Bren who was there for my induction and delivery. She was knowledgeable, confident, caring, and helped guide me through a successful delivery of my baby girl.

I felt like she genuinely cared for me as a person and understood what was important to me - I am so happy she was there for my first, and I can only hope she will be the one to deliver my (future) children as well!

Foxhall is fantastic. Friendly, helpful staff and nurses. Appointments generally run on time. Dr. Beckerman has guided me through a BRCA1 gene mutation diagnosis with extreme care, expertise, responsiveness, and excellent recommendations for other doctors when necessary. Highly recommend this practice!

I saw Dr Kathleen Bren for the first time recently and could not be happier with my experience. I have recommended her to all my female friends since my visit. She was understanding and I felt like she really cared and was listening to me. I have zero complaints. The front desk, nursing, and billing staff were all very polite, too.

Horrible practice. They attempted to send me a $950 bill for "estimated" services, seriously. Had to call and threaten to report them for HIPPA violations. They were infamous for various charges, like charging me $24 to draw my blood only to wait until after doing so to say there wouldn't be a charge had I gone straight to labcorp and receiving a physician bill months after leaving the practice. Aside from random charges my doctor attempted to put me on aspirin after one visit where my blood pressure was slightly elevated which I told her "no".

She was shocked that I refused the aspirin and informed her that I planned on a natural delivery without medication. I'm so glad I switched practices. Unless you want to take medication that could possibly harm your baby or simply have extra money to spend without care, I simply wouldn't do it. Never again!

Dr Bren was a great doctor & really helped me through my pregnancy as I became high risk. Got put on bed rest, couldn't work due to pandemic long story short after I had my baby it was time for my 6 week check up the office manager said I couldn't be seen because I had a balance that needed to be paid, I explain to her I haven't worked in 3 months no income I understand I have to pay my balance. She didn't care & didn't want to here it. They discontinued me as a patient & I had to hunt around for another doctor to see me for my post opt appointment & see my incision because I had a C-section. Would not recommend this practice!
