FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Obstetrics & Gynecology division of Physicians’ Primary Care will become Premier Women’s Care of Southwest Florida Jan. 1, 2019.
The 12 board-certified obstetrician/gynecologists and two certified nurse midwives of Premier Women’s Care will continue to provide state-of-the-art, expert medical care at the same three locations in Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Lehigh Acres.
“As our new name reflects, Premier Women’s Care is focused on providing the very best women’s care, always putting the patient first,” said Dr. Sarah DiGiorgi of Premier Women’s Care. “Patients will continue to receive the care they’ve come to expect, with the convenience they need. We value the close relationships we have with our patients and professional colleagues in the area, and we are committed to honoring the trust they’ve put in us.”
The obstetrician-gynecologists of Premier Women’s Care of Southwest Florida have been taking care of women throughout Lee County for more than 20 years and are committed to improving the range of services they offer patients.
Premier Women’s Care will offer comprehensive, personalized gynecological and obstetric care, including 3-D mammography with breast fellowship-trained radiologists, in-office procedures, Mona Lisa laser therapy, vaginal birth after C-section, and minimally invasive surgeries including Davinci robotics.
Some of the distinct advantages of the practice continue to be the convenience of integrated care among offices; continuity of care from the office to the hospital; and extended hours, including appointments as early as 7 a.m. and after 5 p.m., and Saturday hours.
Beginning Jan. 1, patients will be able to request appointments on the Premier Women’s Care website, www.pwcswfl.com, where they will also be able to access their labs on mobile phones. Patients can still schedule appointments by calling any of the current office numbers, which will not change.

In June of 2021 I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer which had already spread to my lymph nodes. At age 45 with no family history of cancer in my family, and as a physician who gave patients cancer diagnoses every day, this was a shock. Throughout my cancer journey, I learned several lessons that have stuck with me. Life is hard, and everyone is fighting their own battle, but I have faith these lessons can help get us through the hardest times.
As an ob/gyn physician, I help women live their healthiest lives. An important part of that is maintaining an ideal body mass index (BMI), which plays a major role in chronic disease prevention and overall quality of life. That is why I consider it an important part of my practice to help women understand the complex disease of obesity.
Most patients want to get an appointment as quickly as possible, and it is typically faster and easier to see a physician assistant. PA’s usually have the luxury of spending more time one-on-one with the patients in office. Studies perpetually show that patient satisfaction and outcomes are identical whether the patient sees a PA or a doctor.
