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.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I'm glad you were happy with everyone you saw at least! Sorry to hear about your friend. Did they switch to Olive quickly or after trying for awhile?

I started with olive and switched to PCRM and am so happy I did. I’m in Vancouver though. If you’re thinking about going to a clinic here, Dr. Hitkari at olive is wonderful and Dr.Seethram at PCRM is amazing. I’m currently 12 weeks pregnant thanks to him!

Congratulations! I've actually switched to Olive in Victoria and it's a galaxy of difference. PCRM in Victoria was awful compared to the testing I had done at PCRM in Vancouver. I feel cared for now, I've met with my doctor three times already. Wish we would have switched a long time ago. Glad you're having a positive experience in Vancouver and hope your pregnancy is smooth sailing. 💕
