She didn't explain my diagnosis in depth or offer much literature on my condition. On the plus side, she was helpful in recommending additional resources such as counselors when I did see her.

Describe your experience with University Reproductive Care - University of Washington.
Strength - as part of the UW system I have found this clinic's billing process to be mostly easy and correct, and the communication via e-care is quite easy.
Weakness - Little interaction with my doctor, and, until I asked to be assigned to a consistent nurse, questions answered by various random staff members who mostly did not know my history. (This improves quite a bit if you are assigned a consistent team)
