Carin Craig, MD

I chose Dr. Craig as my OBGYN after reading good reviews online, but really only saw her a few times for my annual appointments. Then I got pregnant with my son. She has a quiet and reserved personality, but over the course of my pregnancy she took the time to really get to know me and responded to my questions based on who she knew I was. She didn’t give me generic answers she’d give to anyone, she considered my health and lifestyle, which I really appreciated. Her work was amazing and thorough and she took excellent care of me and my little guy. When I had my final appointment from my pregnancy I felt like I was going to miss not seeing her until my next annual exam!

Carin is just wonderful. I was originall seen by another dr in the group, and although she was friendly, she rushed through my appointments and made me feel like just another patient on her list. Carin, on the other hand, was incredible. She was very patient, thorough and kind. Never once did she make me feel like I had to rush through my questions. My husband came to all but two of my appointments and she made a point to include him in the conversation. She called me personally to give me instructions on when to report for my induction as she knew how nervous I was, and throughout my difficult labor she was supportive, calming and reassuring. We had been told of lengthy wait times at her office, and we did have two occasions where this was true. However, the reason for these wait times is that she takes her time with her patients, so it was worth it to us (and like I said, it was only two times that this happened). I cannot praise her enough.

So luckily, my only experience with Dr Craig doesn’t have to be a miscarriage appointment! I got pregnant again at the end of April and am now 14 weeks. I have had a few appointments with her now and they’ve all been positive. Waiting time isn’t horrible (especially compared to Soffici) and they’re all really nice.

Just as a background. Wanda was my midwife throughout my entire pregnancy. LOVE HER! We planned my all natural birth from the beginning. Once I had to start the rotation of meeting all of the docs, Dr. Craig took the most time to learn about our birth plan and give her two cents. My baby was breech up until about 36 weeks and Dr. Craig pulled out the ultrasound machine in her office to check if he had flipped. He had and even did an very detailed ultrasound for us and kept commenting on how cute the baby was. This was a great thing for a first time mom to hear. None of the other docs offered that. She never hurried me out her office like so many other medical professionals do. I was so lucky to go into labor on Monday when she was on call. She supported my wish for all natural and cheered me and my whole family on during the birth of my son. She always gave me options and I never felt judged by her at all. I really feel like your OB needs to be someone you completely trust.

Saw Dr. Craig because we switched to an HMO. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for 3 years to no avail. Dr. Craig was kind but did not seem to be invested in helping us with our infertility. I had to ask for her to order tests as we had had none done by this point. She said I was not really a candidate to use Clomid but it was worth giving it one shot. 3 weeks later I ended up in urgent care in terrible pain. Likely from the Clomid. I later found out I was given much to high a dose and I should have been monitored closely and given a shot of a pregnancy hormone to get the drug to work correctly. I will never go back.
