Your Obstetrician Gynecologist Frequently asked questions:

1.  How do I choose my physician?

We often have patients showing up at our office for appointments because they found our name in the phone book or their insurance directory.  This is a terrible way of choosing a physician.  These patients put more thought into buying a car than choosing their doctor.  The latter decision is much more important. 

Do your research.  You need to make sure your physician is qualified.  The internet is an amazing source of information that was never available before.  Make good use of it.  Then talk to your friends and neighbors for their recommendations.  Better yet talk to any physicians and nurses you know, they are usually in a better position to evaluate other physicians.  When you do choose a physician, keep asking lots of questions.  If you are unhappy with your existing physician, change.  You are trusting your life and health to this professional.  Make sure she or he is the right one.
