How a visit works
Every Women For Women visit follows the Living Room model: no waiting room, no clipboard, the entire visit in the privacy of one room. Read the step-by-step "A Day in the Life" walkthrough to know exactly what to expect.
Patient Stories
Dr. Carlton went above and beyond to make sure my pregnancy went extremely well. I was considered a high risk pregnancy. She double checked every single situation to make sure that my baby and I were safe.
I am an RN by profession and by far, MomDoc has the whole visit from the time you walk thru the door, to the time you walk out, to a perfect science. They greet you in person immediately.
The Living Room Experience
At MomDoc, our commitment to the highest level of patient care is evident right when you walk in the door. Our Living Room model is designed to give you the most personal and efficient experience right at check-in.
A MomDoc Concierge greets you the moment you arrive. She will verify your contact information and insurance, collect your copay, and often take you straight back to the exam room.
Our Living Room model was developed for each patient to receive the highest level of personal care, with a limited number of human interactions.
