The Durham Women's Clinic is a multi-physician practice
in which each doctor sees his or her own gynecologic
patients. Though you may be seen by other doctors, in
an emergency or during nights, weekends or other times
when your doctor is not available, we strive to manitain
the continuity of your care with the doctor of your
choice. As an obstetric patient you will see all the
practicing OB doctors.
All
of the physicians of the Durham Women's Clinic are board
certified or board eligible Fellows of the American College
of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Our Physician Assistant
is board certified as well.
The members of our support staff work
with the doctors and other healthcare providers as a vital
part of the Durham Women's Clinic team. We take great pride
in our staff's training, knowledge and capabilities. You
can expect to be treated professionally and courteously
at all times. We look forward to a most happy and healthy
relationship with you, and to ensure that this is so, we
welcome any suggestions that will improve your care. |
