Try insurer website: Years ago, listings used to be available only in printed form. By the turn of the century, lists had become available online everywhere. Now, some lists are only online, and no longer printed. County medical societies (or other local medical societies), hospitals, insurance companies usually list medical doctors by name, specialty, and location. Try looking for Gynecology or Ob-Gyn.

Question 5

OB/Gyn: Someone who solely practices gynecology does not take care of pregnant patients.  They do women's care and surgery.  A practicing ob/gyn does both obstetrics and women's care/surgery.

Question 6

how are an ob gyn and a gynecologist different?

Accepted Answer

OB=baby: The OB stands for obstetrics.  The training for all ob/gyn's includes both obstetrics and gynecology.  Thereafter, doctors may choose to do both or just one - either OB or gyn. The OB gyn takes care of delivering babies and prenatal care and also gynecologic issues.  The doctors who limit their practice to gyn issues and do not deliver babies are gynecologists.

Infertility: Yes - to an extent. They can perform exams and/or lab tests useful in making a diagnosis and possibly treating the cause. In some cases it requires a fertility specialist to diagnose and treat. Start with gyn.

Question 9

can i have some tips on switching ob/gyn at 33 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Changing doctors: Depending on the reason that you desire to change OB - it might be uncomfortable but I would still discuss with your current OB &amp; ask for names. I changed an OB with one pregnancy - the first guy was fine but the guy I saw on call was a  fantastic physician. I spoke to my OB and was candid about the reason I desired to make the change. He was very professional &amp; helped with the switch.
