Every doctor has a different style, so what works for other mums might not work for you. I just went with the gynae who went to medical school with my mum :) That way I felt like I could bug him whenever I needed, and he turned out to be the sweetest and most gentle doctor I've ever seen. Do some homework before you pick your gynae: #1: You must be aware of your limitations. Prior to choosing a gynae, you should know your limitations. You need to know which doctor is being covered by your insurance carrier. You can ask from them a list of doctors who is covered by their policy. #2: Ask yourself. There are essential questions that you need to ask yourself such as: Which gynae do you prefer? Male or Female? Are you convenient in visiting your gynae? What are your qualifications for gynaes? Does he is involve in large practice or a sole practitioner? Which hospitals do you prefer and what are the privileges do they offer? #3: Investigate. After evaluating yourself on what you want to get from your gynae, you can finally go for investigation and make your own research on your choices. That way, you will be able to narrow down your list. #4: Interview. Schedule an appointment with the doctor and feel free to ask whatever you have in mind. Do not be ashamed to ask potential questions to your Ob/Gynecologist to be able to take advantage on the services you deserve.
