A member asked:

If i have a pelvic/pap exam at obgyn do i still need a physical from family dr or is ob exam enough. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Everyone does their routine during the annual GYN exam. Some GYN's do more primary care than others. At the very least you'll likely get a pelvic exam, breast exam and vitals including weight.

Dr Amico Jr and another doctor agreed
