Dr. Richard Beckerman has been part of Foxhall Women’s Health for more than three decades. Patients describe a steady presence, a dry wit, and a visit that never feels rushed.

His practice is now focused entirely on gynecology. He provides annual exams, menopause care, and evaluation and treatment across a range of common and complex gynecologic concerns. He also offers cosmetic Botox for patients interested in subtle, natural results.

Dr. Beckerman’s approach reflects the emphasis Foxhall Women’s Health places on time and continuity. His decades of experience inform the clinical judgment he brings to each visit, while the relationships he has built over many years allow him to understand his patients and their health over time.

Dr. Beckerman previously served as Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Sibley Memorial Hospital. He is certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Dr. Beckerman is a Washingtonian Top Doctors Hall of Fame inductee, named a Top Doctor every year from 2005 to 2025.

Outside the office, Dr. Beckerman enjoys traveling, golfing, and spending time with his children, grandchildren, and close friends.
