More about Dr. Cole Messersmith, MD
Dr. Cole Messersmith is an Obstetrician-Gynecologist who appreciates being a part of all of the amazing moments in a woman’s lifetime, partnering with each of his patients to make all of their Ob-Gyn needs individualized and unique. He grew up in Richmond, Virginia and earned his medical degree at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC. He then returned home to Richmond where he completed his residency at Virginia Commonwealth University. His heart was still in DC, and he returned to join Ob-Gyn Associates and once again become a DMV resident.
Dr. Messersmith spends his spare time with his partner and their two cats “Pawla Abdul” and “Catalie Imbruglia” (the cats are sadly much less talented vocalists than their namesakes would imply). He enjoys health and wellness and is an avid runner – even completing several marathons! A fun fact about Dr. Messersmith is that the same year he was accepted to medical school he was also pursuing a position at the Jane Goodall Institute to complete research in primatology – we are glad he chose to stick to practicing in the care of humans over the other great apes as it turned out to be his greatest passion.

Dr. Messersmith is wonderful! I came in to see him for fertility counseling, as my husband and I have been trying for a while with no success. He has great bedside manner, is very knowledgeable, and came up with a plan that made me feel so much more at ease. He listened to me and wasn’t rushing out the door like other doctors do. I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders as he outlined a step-by-step action plan to increase likelihood of conception. I appreciate him very much and am looking forward to my next appointments with him!

November 29, 2023Joseline S.Verified patient
Dr Messersmith was wonderful. Very knowledgeable, very warm. Explained the procedure (IUD insertion) to me and told me what to expect. Just fantastic.
November 25, 2023Rachel K.Verified patient
Dr. Cole, as he said to call him, was warm, well-educated on current guidelines and issues/research that concerned me and was a good listener.
My only issue was that I waited over an hour - a woman may have been going into labor and he got caught up in that emergency, which is fine. What I didn't like was that I sat in the paper robe for 30 mins waiting. I just wish the office staff had managed that better. I did give that feedback and he took it.
I would recommend this doctor.
