Female OB/Doctor?

THUMBS UP

haha i may be a little partial since i wanna become an OB

but you should pick ur OB on how comfortable they make u feel and not focus on the gender.. just my opinion

Thumbs down for me if I had the choice. I had a bad experience with a female OB/GYN once when I was very young. I was having certain symptoms, told her about it and she brushed it off and said- that's nothing, you're fine, every female gets that. Well my Mom wasn't happy with that, so we saw the other Dr in the practice who was Male. It's a good thing that we got his opinion because as it turned out, they thought I had cancer! Scary stuff!

That's just my opinion though! I feel like the male Drs I know are more apt to listen to and really have to try to understand since they don't have the same parts!

Down here too. I also had a bad experience with a female OB.

Down here, only because I think my male OB is great!

Sideways...doesn't matter either way to me.

sideways - i also said I preferred female and that's who I've gone to, but my male RE is much nicer and patient focused than any of my past 3 female OBGYNS

Thumbs sideways--

I have always used women, but think men may make me a little less nervous. However, the man that does surgery at my hospital is a pig. The women are SUPER surgeons. Even the OR nurses say that they are so skillful.
