I can't tell you to re-think your whole world-view, or even your conceptions of women in the workplace more specifically, but you may want to keep an open mind and try a woman again. There are some great practitioners in this area who happen to be female, and it would be a shame to narrow your options.

I do agree with you, I am not being open minded about this at all.
Well if you happen to know someone that will make me shift gears about my woman notion, I'm willing to interview this person and give her a chance.
How about that?
Indeed I have had bad experiences with woman practitioner, not only OBGYN but two other specialities, so perhaps it was just my luck. I feel they tend to be emotional creatures, just like me, and I don't care for another ME at this very moment, it is hard enough.
Thanks for your words,

Regarding the question as of why I don't like Woman Practitioners, well, I feel they tend to push harder just because they are woman, I also feel they are rougher as they know how much pain we can "really" take.
They also tend to be as emotional as any other woman and I don't like a doctor on her PMS week or mad at her life partner.
Thanks but no thanks

Dear Moms:
THANK YOU ALL for all your kind and great responses. You were great, now I have some names to begin with. Love Love Love

Aloha DC Moms:


I will be relocating to the DC area and finally I've narrowed down the School District in which I will relocate. Woodson High School.
Now I need to find an OB/GYN no matter where, I will drive wherever.
My issue here is I don't want to become a file, or a number, I would love to have the same doctor from the monthly visits to the delivery of my baby, for some reason a great amount of doctors in this particular practice (OB/GYN) in VA, have shared practices and you have rotate between 3 to 5 doctors, until whomever is on-call attends to your delivery. I DON'T LIKE THIS, seems impersonal and strange, not to mention I don't like Woman Doctors.
If any of you have ideas, suggestions or comments to help me on my quest for Mr. Perfect-Doctor OB/GYN I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks

Kary
