Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

ER vs obgyn : If you feel that your are having an emergency then in the er is appropriate. The problem is you are unlikely to see a gynecologist in the er. If you feel this visit can wait then seeing an ob/gyn in their office would likely be more helpful for you as well as a lot less expensive.
