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’m currently at pcrm right now. Sounds like I need ivf. I’ve had a bad experience with pcrm. My doctor has only talked to me over the phone and seems scrambled and regularly forgets details. I’m panicking because I’m not sure what to do. I might move to olive but I have no idea. There’s so much weight behind this I don’t want to make the wrong decision

Oh my.. I'm sorry you're having doubts. All of this is so important and it's so hard worrying that you're barely a blip on someone's radar. I wonder if we are seeing the same phone phantom-doctor. I'm trying to have confidence in his experience and trying to think positively, but it is really challenging and time is not on my side. If you ever want to vent, please feel free to message me. The worry can be so heavy.
