Platinum Mommies is by far the best! I am a mother of two undergoing my third pregnancy, but first this is my first experience with Dr. Robi Burns of 'A Woman's Place.' Dr. Burns, and the platinum mommies program has exceeded my expectations in everyway. I have access to my doctor that I have never had with any other physician, which includes personal phone calls, text messaging, no waiting at the office, ultrasounds at every office visit. I was offered a nutritionist consultation, massage therapy, snacks at my office visits, and even same day appointments with the doctor. This V.I.P. service is well worth it! Some might say the price is high, but in the current state of decreased reimbursement for physicians, doctors only have a couple of choices. That is, they can see tons of patients, have long waiting times, and limit their patient contact time to a minimum, making the patients less happy. However, with this VIP medicine, both doctor and patient can each be happy. I am more satisfied with this pregnancy than my previous two, and I am sure Dr. Burns is happy knowing her patients are just a text message away. My family is not rich by any sense, but when it comes to high quality medical care, I was happy to participate. Platinum mommies is an +A!!!
