OB-GYN Associates of Advantia
Ob-Gyn Associates of Advantia, Silver Spring
What is your care philosophy?
Great healthcare is a joint venture between the patient and the doctor, built on a foundation of mutual respect and dialog. I meet so many patients who think that doctors will be dictatorial, but we really listen to patients and respect their wants and needs – I enjoy talking with patients and establishing that foundation with them.
What inspired you to pursue a career in obstetrics and gynecology?
When I started med school, I originally thought I wanted to be a heart surgeon, but I was still open to other specialties and knew that I really enjoyed being in the operating room. I eventually decided on OBGYN because I realized that I could stay in touch with my patients across many of life’s milestones. I’ve known many of my patients for over 30 years, and they are like family to me.
What improvements to women’s care have you seen since you began practicing medicine?
There have been so many great changes: fetal monitoring and sonogram are more sophisticated, equipment and technology for minimally invasive surgeries are much better, testing for abnormal pap smears and HPV is dramatically better. The vaccine for HPV is amazing.
Are you from the DC area?
We moved around the U.S. some while I was a kid, but I mostly I grew up in Pittsburgh. When I came to the DC area for school, I just fell in love with it here. I enjoy the DC weather, and despite growing up near the Steelers, I’ve enjoyed adopting the Redskins as my football team. I like to root for the underdog!
What is your best advice for new parents?
Give your kids unconditional love even after they turn left when you wanted them to turn right. Being a parent is one of the best things in the world, and being a father may be the best thing. I’m incredibly blessed to have a wonderful wife and beautiful, talented twin daughters. I love being a doctor and a father.
What are your best tips for staying healthy?
Stay away from sugar and stay active. Our girls are grown now, and looking back, I think it was very important that we encouraged them to play sports. It reinforced our values and beliefs in staying fit and healthy.
What distinguishes your practice from others?
Having both newer and more experienced doctors in our practice is really valuable. It facilitates the combination of new ideas with decades of experience, and our patients receive better care because of it. During my residency, I rotated through Holy Cross Hospital and met the founders of this practice. I joined them because I was impressed by the intellectual integrity and also because we have all of the facilities (in our office) to test and gather information quickly. This has continued to be true across the years, and I’m proud to work with the doctors in our practice.
If I wasn’t a doctor, I’d be…?
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a professional football player, but being a doctor is the perfect profession for me. I find it incredibly rewarding, and I go home at the end of the day feeling really good about the work I’ve done and the patients I’ve helped.

I’m Dr. Diane Snyder, Board Certified OBGYN with a Focused Practice in Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology.
During medical school, I was debating between pediatrics and OBGYN and for a variety of reasons chose OBGYN. During my residency training, I was introduced to the sub-specialty of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (PAG) by one of my attending physicians and knew it was an area I wanted to pursue. During my last year of residency, I did an elective rotation at Boston Children’s Hospital which really introduced me to the field. I ended up not doing a fellowship and started to slowly incorporate younger patients into my practice.
Once I stopped practicing Obstetrics in 2002, I was able to focus more on this age group. I started giving lectures to pediatric groups as well as in middle and high schools.
Joining the North American Society of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (NASPAG) has been most helpful with monthly journals, international listserve, and annual National conferences. This is a group of many specialties that focuses on delivering medical care to pediatric and adolescent females.
PAG covers many medical and gynecologic conditions and some diagnoses that can be devastating to a young patient (Premature ovarian insufficiency or Mullerian anomalies) and I find it extremely gratifying to be a part of the care journey for these patients.
Helping young women manage their contraceptive choices, feel positive about their sexuality, and improve their menstrual disorders are but a few of the things I love about pediatric and adolescent gynecology.

I remained at Georgetown for my OBGYN residency training. Before becoming an OB Hospitalist at Shady Grove Medical Center (SGMC) in 2015, I was in private practice in Northern Virginia for 25 years. I was a Governor-appointed Member of the Virginia Board of Medicine from 2004-2013 and served as its President from 2009-2010.

What led you to join this profession?
The versatility within the specialty. I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a doctor and always thought I would go into pediatrics. However as I progressed during my education, I began to fall in love with surgery. During my OBGYN rotation in medical school, I quickly realized that this specialty not only had a surgical aspect but still allowed me to practice foundational/preventable medicine that I had been drawn to in pediatrics.
What do you enjoy most about your profession?
As an OBGYN I love being able to make life-long relationships with patients and have the ability to support them through multiple stages of their life. We have the privilege to provide care for women for not only their reproductive health but also their general well-being and that is an honor to me.
Tell us a little about yourself.
My husband, Brad, and I just moved here from Kalamazoo, Michigan with our dogs (Louie and Clark). I am originally from the suburbs of Chicago. I completed my undergrad at SLU and am excited to be back in the area. We are outdoor enthusiasts; hiking, biking, camping, and kayaking. I also enjoy reading, photography, running with Clark, and am an avid sports fan.

“I started working at P&M as a new grad and I love working with Physicians. Mothers have the best of both worlds. Working together with a doctor ensures that even a high-risk mother has access to a midwife. There is also added comfort in knowing that there are no unnecessary delays in case of an emergency. Success is having a healthy mother and a healthy baby.”

Alisa Studley, PA-C
Physician Assistant
English
Women's Health Specialists of Advantia
Women's Health Specialists, Rockville
What is your care philosophy?
Listening to my patients in an open, non-judgemental manner, allows me a deep understanding of their symptoms and concerns leading to the most accurate diagnosis and best treatment plan. Leveraging my empathic personality, I know a little compassion and understanding go a long way to build the patient’s trust in me as their practitioner. I spend the time necessary to explain diagnoses and treatments to patients so they fully comprehend their visit. There are a wide variety of solutions to medical issues in addition to medicine and I am well versed in holistic approaches offering my patients options while helping them to choose the best plan.
What inspired you to pursue a career in gynecology?
Combining my degrees in Nutritional Sciences and Physician Assistant, I discovered that Obstetrics/Gynecology was a field where I could have a large impact in the lives of women. That impact is amplified when you consider the very personal nature of sexuality. I strive to make my patients comfortable enough to talk openly about their most personal issues without making them feel “awkward.” Even as a child I was interested in medicine and was attracted to how “women’s issues” interact with the entire body.
What distinguishes Women’s Health Specialists from other practices?
Women’s Health Specialists is a multifaceted gynecology practice dealing with all women’s health issues from pediatric to geriatric. Our practitioners have a wide variety of interests and specialties including pediatric gynecology, gynecologic oncology, and minimally invasive surgeries. My personal special interests include adolescent gynecology, geriatric gynecology, and pessaries to help women with vaginal prolapse or urinary incontinence.
If you weren’t a Physician Assistant, what would you be?
“A therapist. Speaking with people and really listening to them heals them. I get to utilize these skills in my practice everyday. I love my profession and building long term relationships with my patients. I’m grateful to have had patients for over 20 years and gotten the opportunity to know them and their families, their trials and successes.
