OP here. It was not a female-oriented specialist.

First, I've not seen another post about a male doc giving a female patient his personal email address on the back of his business card. Maybe it's been posted but it's not a regular thing.

If he wrote his email address on the back without commenting, he's hitting on you. If he wrote it and said something like "the portal doesn't always work, if you have follow-up questions you can always reach me here," then it's nothing.

Buyer beware, though. Doctors can be total dogs.

Just out of curiosity…
Why would a woman choose a male gynecologist?

Not PP, but seriously? Why does anyone choose a particular doctor? Start a new thread.

He did not comment. I found it on my own after I left.

Do people give out an email address instead of a phone number when hitting on someone? Seems odd to me but no one has hit on me since like 2012 so what do I know.

Ok, well— did you like him, op? Can you picture going out for drinks? Maybe he never does this but just really hit it off with you.

If you’re interested just email him saying it was great to meet him and you appreciate the assistance he gave during the appointment. His move.

I have had three male specialists give me their business cards with gmail addresses handwritten on them. I can assure you they were not interested in me, a middle aged woman with teenage kids. They all used those emails to communicate with patients.

OP is way way way overthinking this.

Also - if Op did not notice the doctor writing on the card, that is because he has written his email on all his cards to give to all his patients. There is no way she wouldn’t have noticed him getting out a pen and scribbling on the card before handing it over.

Here you go OP - official word that doctors are allowed to use emails to communicate with patients. Nothing requires it to be a business email address rather than a gmail.
