Dr. Hibshman is a caring and compassionate obstetrician-gynecologist who joined Physicians for Women in Alexandria, Virginia in 2007 after several years of private practice experience in Washington, D.C. 

Professionally, she enjoys all aspects of OB/GYN. She particularly loves working with young patients to ensure that their first gynecological experience is a good one. She believes in educating her patients to set them up to make healthy life choices.

Treating the whole woman, Dr. Hibshman is currently working with Drs.
