Hi Natalie -
I found proximity to be important too - there are so many times when you need to be at the clinic early, for blood tests and scans, and being close by means that you'll be able to sleep in a little bit earlier
I actually chose my clinic on the basis that I wouldn't need to drive all the way into the Brisbane CBD, but as it turns out, I was lucky enough to get an absolute gem of an OB who I feel 100% comfortable with.
