[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know you’ve already decided but want to throw my two cents in and give the 4th recommendation for CWC. It’s a larger practice but I love that I can email my dr at any time and receive a response promptly. It is perfect for someone who has a lot of concerns but doesn’t want to call or see someone every time.   Also, when I’m really anxious about something they have an advice line where you leave a phone message. I’ve used it twice and have gotten a call back within 2 minutes. The first time, they kindly reassured me about something I read (stupid Google rabbit hole) and the second time, they had me go to the hospital to get it checked it out. Both times it was in the middle of the night and I felt incredibly cared for — listened to my concerns, didn’t invalidate my worry, and gave me the reassurance or plan of action I needed to feel better. Can’t recommend CWC more[/quote]

YES! As a previous poster who recommended CWC, I had this exact experience. Called the on-call doctor 2x over my pregnancy with ridiculous concerns during weekend hours. One time they had me come into the hospital to be checked and one time they made me feel reassured that everything was fine. My doctor then gave me the option to run some additional tests at my next visit just to ease my mind, even though she assured me everything was 99.9% likely fine. My doctor reiterated to never feel silly calling because they want to know what's going on and they are there to provide guidance if things do sound like something is wrong, and I totally felt this was true and not just talk at CWC. I'm sure every practice has some version of this, but like this poster said, I always felt validated, heard, and like I was given clear responses to make informed decisions about what I wanted to do.[/quote]
