Need to find a gyno doc->

[Mezzanine]

Hey ladies, I recently moved across the country with my girlfriend and she needs a new gyno doc, how do you go about finding one? Look in the yellow pages? Is there some kind of referral service or something?

She should ask her women friends. If she has a regular doctor, she could ask for a recommendation, but she might get better results asking female nurses - it's a tight-knit community and word travels about good and bad doctors. Another possible source would be her hairdresser (if female). Hairdressers hear everything.

Good advice, Fitfossil.

I have always had a hard time finding a good doc- in the town where I grew up & then when I relocated after college. I took a recommendation from an office mate - she raved about this doc. I won't even begin to get into the awful experiences I had at this place

Then I took another recommendation from a fellow aerobics instructor at the gym & that lady was AWESOME!

So my point - ya just don't know & it's VERY difficult to chose.

In which city are you looking in????
Also a good idea is to ask her former Gyn.

It's always best to get a recommendation rather than calling a name from phone book blindly. Where is across country? East Coast, West Coast....state? I'm sure any of us here could give you a recommendation if we know where you are....

We are in the San Diego area. She dosen't really have any friends to ask- her friends here live up in Hollywood. We haven't lived here long so we dont know many people. Her last doctor was at her college on the east coast so I'm not sure they could help.
