Over the past few months, the practice has welcomed David Coggin-Carr, MD; Ashley LaForest, PA; Marjorie Meyer, MD; Sue Rech, MD; Jessica Scott, NP; and Cheung Wong, MD.

As a gynecologic oncologist, Dr. Wong specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian, uterine, cervical and vulva cancers. Maternal fetal medicine specialists Drs. Coggin-Carr and Meyer provide care for pregnant women who may have existing health problems like high blood pressure or diabetes or complications during pregnancy. "This growth allows us to care for more patients without delay and provide advanced OB-GYN services locally, strengthening the connection between our team and the community," noted Dr. Bachawaty, who leads the CVPH OB-GYN site. "Our skilled clinicians at CVPH are working hard to improve access for patients in need. They deliver excellent, compassionate care with a focus on the individual patient and their unique situation. The new providers joining the team will augment these efforts," said Jeffrey Peipert, MD, OB-GYN Department Chair of University of Vermont Health. WEEKEND, EVENING APPOINTMENTS The team has expanded their schedules to include weekend and evening appointment hours for gynecology patients. Bobbie Belrose, CVPH OB-GYN practice supervisor, said the extended hours offer patients additional appointment options and allows more patients to be seen sooner. The practice has also added additional exam rooms in space located across from the current office at Suite 105 in 206 Cornelia St. Belrose explained that the expansion supports the team's commitment to ensuring timely access and enhancing convenience. "Our goal is and always will be to give each person we care for the highest quality care – care that meets their needs. We've been through a period of extraordinary growth and our team has done its best to keep pace. The addition of these new members to the team, the additional space and everyone's commitment to our patients is making a difference," explained Belrose.
