gynecologist review response 01 |
how old are you, and for how long have you been seeing your gynecologist?
|
|
I'm 32 and I started seeing my gyn when I was 18, in college.
|
how did you find your first gynecologist? did your mother talk to you about it; did she take you to see hers?
|
|
I was the youngest of four girls in my family and would you believe I didn't have even one conversation with my mom or sisters about any of it until college.
|
do you feel comfortable to ask questions about your body, what you are experiencing, to discuss your sex-life?
|
|
I am generally very comfortable asking questions, but with my current gyn, I am not all that comfortable. Especially about sex.
|
how often do you see your gynecologist? what does a regular exam consist of?
|
|
Once a year. For a regular exam, I meet with the doc in her office to talk about any concerns, then to the stir-ups for a pap and breast exam. It's very basic, with not much talking.
|
would you recommend your gynecologist - why, or why not?
|
|
I would not. I tend to joke around a little to lighten the moment, but she doesn't seem to get it. I need a doctor with a sense of humor, especially if I am going to go through having a baby with that doctor.
|
what are all the factors that go into how you feel about your experience with your gyno?
does the reception and nursing staff play a role?
is there good reading material in the waiting room?
|
|
I want someone who is precise, without talking over my head or being judgemental. I also find that bedside manner is a major factor.
Yes, I think that the reception and nursing staff should be warm and welcoming.
No, the reading material sucked pretty bad.
|
is there something more you'd like to be getting from your gynecologist that you aren't?
|
|
I would say a big yes. I need a doctor that I can be myself around and not feel self-consious for any reason. I don't really feel that way with my current gyn. Yes, I was treated for genital warts. I was devistated when it happend (in college). I found out at a routine pap done at the campus health center. I then went to a private practice to have it treated. I had out-patient surgery, which I think was successful, since there hasn't been any more since they removed a few layers of my cervix. By the way, I was treated like gold by the doctor and the staff. (I don't live in that city any more). I need to find a new gyno!!!
