Obstetric Clinics
At ECWG you see one provider for all prenatal appointments, however call for delivery rotates so you may end up delivering with a doctor you haven’t met.
This clinic rotates who you see for prenatal appointments in addition to rotating who is on call for delivery. With this model you do get to know who might be delivering your baby, however you also don’t have a consistent provider.
