Dr. Duggal was born in NY and raised in Northern Virginia. For her undergraduate education, she attended the University of Virginia where she received a BA in Chemistry with a specialization in Biochemistry. Dr. Duggal then completed both her medical degree and Obstetrics and Gynecology residency through the George Washington School of Medicine program in affiliation with Inova Fairfax Hospital in Fairfax, VA and Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, MD.
Throughout her training and career, Dr. Duggal has volunteered her time and expertise to a number of institutions both at home and abroad. Some of her work includes teaching at-risk middle school children through the Higher Achievement Program in Washington, DC, volunteering with the Red Cross in Salamanca Spain, and working with Mother Teresa’s Center for Orphaned Children(Shishu Bhavan) and Free Clinic(Khalighat) in Calcutta, India. She also does health presentations for the middle school girls at Loudoun Country Day school and is a volunteer medical doctor at a sleep away summer camp she attended as a child in Rochester, NY (Hindu Heritage Summer Camp).
Practice Philosophy
Dr. Duggal chose the field of Obstetrics/Gynecology because of her compassion towards women and children. She adheres to the principle that health is “a complete state of physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”(WHO, 1948) and it is her strong belief that it is the right of every woman to receive competent and high quality healthcare. As is often the case here and around the world, many women do not have a voice or decision-making power when it comes to their own bodies, and therefore Dr. Duggal is committed to raising the voices of women and providing compassionate care. She strives to provide an environment where women are cherished, heard, and encouraged to flourish.
Dr. Duggal has been inspired to make a difference in the lives of Loudoun Women in part by people who have touched her life. First and foremost her father, who taught her to never hurt anyone or anything, but instead to help everyone and everything, and taught her to be patient. “It will happen if it is supposed to.” Also Mother Teresa, who she was able to spend a summer helping her mission. She would like to conclude with this story, told to her by a friend, which clearly expresses the single most important reason of why she dedicates her life to medicine:
One summer morning, after a severe storm the night before, a young boy and his grandfather were walking along the beach. The storm had washed thousands and thousands of starfish on the beach. They were strewn helplessly on the beach for miles, and were dying. Quickly, the little boy began picking up starfish and throwing them back into the water. The grandfather, somewhat puzzled, asked the boy, “What are you doing? There are so many starfish, it won’t matter if you throw some starfish back into the water.” The little boy picked up another starfish, glanced down at it for a moment, and replied, “It makes a difference to this one,” and then gently tossed it back into the ocean.
As an Obstetrician/Gynecologist Dr. Duggal is able to pursue her passion in educating, guiding and providing services to influence positive outcomes for mothers, their children, and to adolescents and women of all ages.

What Patients Say About Dr. Nadim Hawa
We’re proud of the way we treat our patients at Capital Women’s Care Ashburn,
“ Greatest care you can get! By far the best doctor! Words can't describe how much it meant to have him. He took care of me after my horrible delivery with my son...he just recently delivered my daughter and the experience was great I drove over an hour to receive his care! You won't be disappointed!! Thank you Dr. Hawa for looking out for me! I appreciate it more then you can ever imagine! ”
Alyssa Schweitzer
“ I visited Dr. Hawa for menopausal symptoms, and was given a very thorough and thoughtful exam. Dr. Hawa listens carefully to your symptoms without judgement or saying it's " in your head, your tests are normal." I requested bio-identical hormones, and he went out of his way to find a compounding pharmacy for me. I feel great, with the hormones, and feel like the treatment recommended by Dr. Hawa changed my life for the better. If you are seeking an OBGYN that is interested in helping your symptoms, and not rushing to the next patient, I strongly recommend Dr. Hawa. ”

“ Dr. Hawa and his team were nothing short of FANTASTIC!!!! He paid attention to all my concerns and ensured to explain in detail every single procedure required during my pregnancy. As a high risk patient (blood disorder), I was skeptical about seeing someone different with my second pregnancy but those fears were erased within 5 minutes of meeting him. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, his staff are courteous and helpful. Thank you Dr. HAWA for a wonderful experience! ”

“ I am yet to see a medical team as responsive as Dr. Nadeem Hawa and his team. The doctor is extremely polite and responds to the patients as immediate as possible. Front office lady, Maria, Nurse Jackie, the other lady Nicole, all are very polite, smiling and very communicative. This team did a wonderful job in taking care if my health issue and I owe them one. Doctors likes Nadeem Hawa is refreshing in today's world where everyone is so time and insurance bound! ”

“ Dr Hawa took care of me after I underwent some unforeseen circumstances. Though it was the first time meeting him, I was impressed with his bedside manner...courteous and explained what he was going to do but held my health as his priority. I work in healthcare as well and it means something to write a review about a provider that meets your expectations by taking the time to just listen and give you the attention that you deserve. Thanks again Dr Hawa! ”

“ Dr. Hawa and his staff are truly exceptional. I was looking for a new GYN because scheduling was always difficult at my old doctor. Dr. Hawa's office got me in the same day! He spent time with me and is a good listener. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an OB/GYN.”
Kelly Rieb
“ The best ob ever. I had a large baby resulting in delivery complications and he handled the situation outstandingly. He took charge and did what needed [to be] done to ensure that both my baby and I got through it. The entire time he was calm and extremely knowledgeable. I can never express in words my extreme gratitude. ”
“ Dr. Hawa is wonderful! I had complications with my pregnancy towards the end & he was very informative & knowledgeable. He, not his office staff, would call me to discuss the issues & answer any questions that I had. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hawa to anyone! ”
“ I know Dr. Hawa is no longer at this facility, however he was one of the most respectable persons I have ever met in that facility. Every time I had a question, he gave an answer & if he didn’t know the answer he was honest about it & would search for one. Dr.Hawa was always looking out for my best interest & the same for my unborn child. He was gentle & kind & very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr.Hawa. So much that I will be going to his new facility when my husband & I are prepared to have another child. ”
“ Dr. Hawa performed a hysteroscopic myomectomy which helped me tremendously. When I was not a candidate for a different type of procedure, Dr. Hawa thoroughly explained other options and was very attentive to my questions. Hagerstown is very fortunate to have Dr. Hawa. ”
