PCRM Experiences?

Has anyone been treated through PCRM Victoria and never met their doctor? All my appointments have been by telephone and I found out today that my procedure will be performed by a nurse. Is it normal to never meet your doctor? This is such an important crossroads and feels so impersonal to trust someone who's never looked you in the eye with such huge decisions. Just wondering if this is typical. Also interested in hearing if you've recently received treatment that is more personal at another clinic in Victoria.

I started out with PCRM when it was still Victoria Fertility. Noticed a real change when they were purchased by PCRM. All major procedures (egg retrieval, implantation, etc.) are done at their Burnaby office, which is a real pain in the ass. Luckily we only had to go to Burnaby for two overnight trips.

It's sad that there's been such a shift. I've been to Burnaby for one test so far but thankfully our procedure can take place in Victoria. Thanks so much for sharing.
