HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Participants undergo careful pre-screening and screening steps before they are enrolled in a study. Screening for criteria like age, previous treatments, and other medical conditions are among the screening criteria used to protect a participant’s safety and to ensure researchers obtain the information they need.

Eligible participants meet with one of our trained research coordinator staff to review the study and answer all questions. A document called an informed consent that has been approved by an independent review board (IRB) is reviewed and signed prior to any data collection or testing for the study.

In most cases, participation in a clinical trial incurs no cost to the patient. Sponsors may also offer compensation for time and travel. This information will be discussed during the informed consent review.

Study participation is voluntary. Participants have the right to withdraw from study participation at any time. The decision to withdraw will not result in any penalty nor adversely affect your relationship with your study doctor or practitioner.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My first experience with Women's OB/GYN occurred when I was 24 weeks along with my twins. That experience was amazing as they treated my high-risk pregnancy with their expertise and compassion. The first time I met Dr. Spence was the day she delivered my babies at 35.5 weeks, and she was so patient explaining what was about to happen before going in, and answered all my anxious questions which put me at ease. Now, 18 years later, I needed additional care that my PCP was not able to take care of so I returned to Women's. I was scheduled with Dr. Spence and I just had a procedure done in the office today. She is an amazing doctor and an asset to our community, as is the entire office staff, who make you feel comfortable even in uncomfortable situations. I would highly recommend this clinic to my own daughters, my family, friends and my community if they are in need of exceptional care by extraordinary physicians and staff.

Women’s took care of me throughout my pregnancy through and through. I loved that I got to meet majority of the doctors as it felt like they all had adecent understanding of what my pregnancy entailed and I was comfortable going through labor with any of them. Dr. Schmidt, despite me wanting to be so stubborn made a decision that saved me and my baby from a dangerous situation. Dr. Wagner and Dr. Minnec were encouraging, thorough and talked to me as a person during my induction. Dr. Blanchard did an amazing job with my c section and made sure my baby and I both made it out safe. The entire staff at Women’s was always kind to me and did what they could to answer questions and help me with any issues or concerns.

Kennedi was amazing- I get extremely nervous for doctors appts, so I was totally stressed this morning. She really put my fears at ease, discussed my questions/concerns in depth, and made everything quick/easy. I will definitely request to see her for future visits. :)

I was sooooo scared going in that office due to a horrible experience with a different doctor. She sat there WAY longer than I expected and made sure I understood everything. She answered every single question I had and then some. I was super scared about getting a full hysterectomy and now well as long as she’s doing it BRING IT ON! Dr. Schmidt is so compassionate and caring. I am 💯 having my daughter go to her when needed.
