BACKGROUND: To improve multi-disciplinary care in pregnancy, a gastrointesintal (GI) disorders in pregnancy clinic was created. Patient and referring provider satisfaction with this service was assessed. METHODS: The first 100 patients and their referring providers were surveyed. Survey scores >3 on a 5-point Likert scale were considered favorable. Descriptive statistics were calculated and open-ended items were analyzed. RESULTS: Fifty-four percent of patients and 32% of providers returned questionnaires. All satisfaction items received an average patient score of >3.6 and provider score of >4.1, demonstrating overall satisfaction with the clinic. Referring providers were particularly satisfied. CONCLUSION: Patients and providers, in particular, report a high level of satisfaction with a GI pregnancy clinic.
