A member asked:
Is there any difference between an obstetrician and and obstetrician / gynocologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: An obstetrician is a doctor that cares for women through pregnancy and takes care of the birthing process, a gynecologist is a doctor that cares for women's reproductive areas. Usually they are the same, but there are some general practice doctors who practice obstetrics.
