Gynecology & IUDs for Reston, Virginia
We see a fair number of Reston patients, and they come for one thing in particular: an IUD placed by someone who actually sedates for it - so it doesn't have to hurt.
Here's how it works from Virginia: one in-person visit at our Kensington, MD office to get started, then telehealth follow-ups from home. Queer-owned, gender-affirming, and unhurried.
How Care Works From Reston
Start in person. We're licensed in Maryland, so your first visit happens at our office at 3720 Farragut Ave, Suite 202, Kensington, MD 20895 - about 45 minutes from Reston. That first visit establishes care, and it's also when we'd do something like an IUD placement, sedated and comfortable. There's a free on-site lot.
Then keep up by telehealth. Once you're an established patient, follow-ups can be done by telehealth as often as you need - results reviews, hormone management, refills, and check-ins. Most Reston patients make one trip to get started and handle the rest from home.
A common path: book your first visit in Kensington - get your IUD placed (or just establish care) - then keep every follow-up virtual.
Why Reston Patients Make the Trip
Northern Virginia has plenty of options. Here's what brings Reston patients across the river to get started.
Sedation for IUD insertion
Nitrous, oral sedation, IV sedation, cervical block, and TENS - real pain management for IUD placement. If a previous insertion was rough, or you're anxious about a first one, this is what makes the trip worth it.
One trip, then telehealth
You establish care in person once at our Kensington office. After that, follow-ups - results, hormone management, refills, check-ins - can be done by telehealth from home in Reston.
Queer-owned & gender-affirming
Gender-affirming hormone therapy on an informed-consent model, and gynecology that doesn't make assumptions about your body or your history. You don't have to come out at every visit.
Every IUD type
Mirena, Liletta, Kyleena, Skyla, and the copper Paragard - hormonal or hormone-free, including for heavy or painful periods. Covered with no out-of-pocket cost under most plans.
Independent, not hospital-owned
Longer appointment slots, the same provider every visit, and fewer system-mandated workflows than a big NoVA hospital network.
The trip buys you the placement
We schedule so your first in-person visit is the productive one - establishing care and, if you want, getting your IUD placed the same day, sedated and comfortable.

I'm in Reston - how does this work?
Your first visit is in person at our Kensington, MD office to establish care. We're licensed in Maryland, so that first visit happens here. Once you're an established patient, we can do follow-ups by telehealth as often as you need - so most Reston patients make one trip to get started and then keep up virtually.
Why would I drive to Maryland for an IUD?
Comfort, mostly. We sedate. We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, cervical blocks, and TENS for IUD insertion - real pain management most offices don't provide. Patients who've had a rough placement before, or who are anxious about a first one, often decide the trip is worth a placement that doesn't hurt.
How far is the Kensington office from Reston?
We're at 3720 Farragut Ave in Kensington, MD - about 45 minutes from Reston depending on the Beltway and the river crossings. There's a free on-site lot when you come. We reserve in-person trips for your first visit and any procedures, and keep follow-ups on telehealth once you're established.
Can you treat me by telehealth in Virginia?
Not for a first visit - we're licensed in Maryland, not Virginia, so we need to establish care with you in person at our Kensington office first. After that, your follow-up visits can be done by telehealth. It's one in-person trip to get started, then virtual from there.
What insurance do you accept?
We accept CareFirst, Anthem, BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, and UHC. IUDs and annual preventive visits are covered with no out-of-pocket cost under the ACA for most plans. We do not accept Medicaid, Medicare, or Tricare.
