New Patient Appointments:
Barbara H. Osborn, M.D., graduated magna cum laude from Brown University. She received all of her medical training at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina. This included medical school, a residency in obstetrics and gynecology, and a 3-year fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Following her fellowship, Dr. Osborn was in practice for 2 years at the Reproductive Science Center of Boston before joining Shady Grove Fertility in 2002. She is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and reproductive endocrinology.
Dr. Osborn is a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. She is available for new patient appointments and follow-up visits in our Washington, D.C. - Sibley office.
I always loved science in school and the opportunity to use science to directly help people was what brought me to the medical field. Being able to help people have children and create families is the most fascinating and rewarding area of medicine to me; I can’t imagine doing anything else.
I enjoy cycling and travel as both are opportunities to explore and enjoy the world we live in.
I am most proud of the respect, honesty, and transparency with which we treat our patients.
I am inspired by my patients every day in different ways. The journey through fertility treatment can be long and hard for some patients. When I see a patient who has endured multiple failed treatments, pregnancy losses, numerous procedures, blood draws, and shots and is still willing, with a smile on her face, to try anything that might help her have a child, I am inspired.
I try to educate my patients as much as possible about what their test results mean, what is causing their infertility, and most importantly what their options are for building a family. With fertility treatment there is not always one clear-cut path, but rather a choice of different treatment options with varying success rates, intensity/invasiveness, and cost. I try to talk through these options to help patients choose which one is the best fit for them.
I am most proud of the respect, honesty, and transparency with which we treat our patients.
"Dr. Osborn is wonderful. She is warm and caring, while also being extremely informative. She never rushed us in our consultations, always answered all our (many) questions thoroughly, and was kind and caring throughout this journey. I cannot say enough good things about her!"
"Dr. Osborn is a compassionate Dr. She's very polite and knowledgeable. I got twins under her care and I will return soon. All her staff is amazing. They make you feel so special, checking on you as well as returning your calls. Dr Osborn cried with me when I lost my 1st pregnancy. She's so sweet. I will recommend her 100/100."
"I do not know how to start, but let me tell you that my husband and I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Osborn. Our chances of having a baby on our own were very slim. Dr. Osborn gave us a few options and the time to think about the best way to proceed. She was calm, patient and very hopeful. It was not at all an easy process. She worked very hard to determine and propose ways to increase our chances. We had a miscarriage and two failed attempts but the fourth time was successful! We did not want to give up! She was the one who conducted the last transfer and it worked! We could not believe it. Our pregnancy went super well and so did our delivery! Zero complications! Our baby is healthy and HAPPY! We will never forget what Dr. Osborn did for us! I am in mid-forties and getting pregnant was like a DREAM COME TRUE! May God bless her and her family! We recommend Dr. Osborn to anyone who is struggling to get pregnant and we highly encourage you to consult with her about available options! Listen to her and be patient! Things don’t happen overnight! She is the top of the top! Dr. Osborn is not only an expert in her field, but she is also a compassionate person! We are forever grateful! We love you Dr. Osborn!"
"Dr. Osborn and her team were extremely kind, accommodating, honest, and supportive. They always made sure that we had all of the information available, and they held our hands through the entire process. I could not have asked for a better doctor! We were overjoyed to welcome our little one into the world! We will be back again to give our little guy a sibling. I would recommend Dr. Osborn to anyone who is struggling to have a baby."
"Thanks to Dr. Osborn we now have 2 lovely daughters 4 and 7. She has changed our lives and we are forever thankful for her help and encouragement."
"Dr. Osborn always takes time to answer my questions carefully and thoughtfully. She is the third RE I have been to and I really trust her and like her. Being infertile sucks but she makes all the pain I am going through more bearable. Also, I LOVE the nurses and front desk staff at Sibley."
"A belated thank you for taking such good care of us nearly two years ago. During one of the most challenging, confusing and painful times in our lives, you treated us with such kindness and respect. And for what should have been a complete failure, thank you for making our chance to have our own children possible. Not a day goes by that I am not grateful for your experience. I am the proud and ridiculously happy mother of two girls. They are healthy, happy and quite simply amazing. All of my best to you and your staff at Shady Grove Fertility."
"Thank you for all your help & support Dr. Osborn on our journey towards a family of 4. We met many professionals & experts; you have stuck out as such a great part of the process and I hope that you continue helping people just like us."
"Her care and expertise resulted in our beautiful daughter. The stats she provided me regarding the possibility of pregnancy was on target. The team in her office were always dependable."
"Wonderful doctor. Very patient and took time to answer all our questions and review all options for treatment so we could make an educated decision."
"Not only is Dr. Osborn kind, knowledgeable and provides great care, her demeanor and bedside manner are fantastic. She gave very clear advice and recommendations, however she also gave us choices and let us make decisions where appropriate. We felt genuinely cared for, in all sense of the word. I'd recommend her (and the staff at the Shady Grove Sibley office) to anyone!"
"My wife and I are a same-sex couple who used Shady Grove to conceive our daughter through IUI. Throughout a more than year-long process, Dr. Osborn was attentive, thorough, and sensitive to the needs of our family. We recommend her, and her Shady Grove colleagues, most highly."
"Dr. Osborn did an amazing job making sure we were comfortable with each step of our fertility journey from start to finish. She was easy to communicate with, kept us informed of our choices and made sure that we understood each step."
