[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll reviving this thread because I’m currently deciding between the two. FTM. I was “accepted” into Bloom (did not know that was an issue until I read this thread). But I haven’t gone yet so I’d love to hear updated opinions.

One issue is as a larger practice I’m wondering if CWC has better hours for full time workers. Bloom so far only had midday appointments available, nothing at the beginning or end of the day. [/quote]

I left bloom for CWC. I made it to 24 weeks and had only had one appt with an OB. There rest of the appts had been with the NP. Also - and this is why I ultimately left - they did not have a doctor review my anatomy scan. The NP reviewed the scan. No OB, no MFM, no radiologist. Just the NP. They have had staffing problems in the past couple of years and cut corners. An NP is fine for something routine like a pap smear or a couple of prenatal visits, but an NP should not be the primary medical professional you see for pregnancy. Especially in the DC area and at a bougie practice like Bloom.

At CWC, I saw only OBs and felt that the level of care was significantly better. [/quote]

I just had my 20 week scan last week and it was with an OB…. They hired more doctors it seems so maybe that is it? Either way, when you make the appointment the receptionist tells you who they have availability with and you can say you want to see a specific doctor (of course you may need to be flexible on dates for the appointment). So that is on you PP.[/quote]
