I am happy to share that I'm making the switch from WellSpan to JohnHopkins for my OBGYN. My PCP referred me to this doctor in particular and she was straight to the point and put things in a very easy way to understand and hopefully get to the best outcome regarding my fertility needs. I'm looking forward to seeing her again,

I have been to 3 other GYNs before finding Dr. V and she is the first one that truly made me feel heard and seen. The level of care that she provided me is exactly what I have been searching for.

I started seeing Dr Vourlos when she practiced in Frederick MD. When she moved to Columbia, I went there and then when she had office hours at Eldersbirg, I started seeing her there as it was closer than Columbia for me. So I could see any of the local gynecologists in Frederick but I prefer to drive a distance to see Dr Vourlos.

Speaks too fast sometimes as if she's in a hurry. I need more time to recommend her to friends and family. I just need to get to know her better since I'm fairly new as a patient.
