QOTD

Do you see a male or female doctor?

Re: QOTD

  • Female.  I used to have a male doctor, but he retired!  I love my new doctor, she's wonderful.

  • I prefer male.  No particular reason - I'm just more comfortable.  But I do adore my female pediatrician (so do my daughters).

  • I have always had a female doctor, until I was pregnant.  I had to get over my fear of male doctors pretty quickly.  I am glad I did because one of the 2 OB's who delivered my boys was a male, and he is one of my favorite.

  • Both my family doc and gyn are female. Now that I am an OB patient I see all the docs and there are 3 males. I have yet to have any exams from them but will get over it pretty quickly if one of the 3 is on call, which is most likely.

  • Female, but I've seen a male in the past. My current doctor is pretty awesome, though.
  • both my primary care doctor and gyno are female.

  • Currently a female.  But I have seen male specialists (gyn, breasts, etc) in the past.

  • MY PCP is a female and my gym is male.  It was a little weird for me the first time I saw him (which was about 7 yrs ago), but after the initial visit I was over it.  They're both great doctors.

  • My primary care doctor is a male and my gyno is a female. I don't have a major preference one way or another. When I changed insurance (and thus doctors), I just went with whichever doctors had openings.
  • My family doctor is female. V goes to the same one.

  • I've seen a male my whole life, just two years ago a female became part of the practice so I saw her occasionally, but I preferred him. Now that we have moved I actually have to find another doctor, which is going to be difficult to do.

  • PCP is female.  OBGYN is female.  RE is male. 

    I generally prefer a female doctor.  I think they listen better.  That said, I love our RE; he is extremely kind but does not sugar coat things and is more responsive than any doctor I've ever had.  He answered my email on the weekend while he was on vacation for crying out loud.

  • I currently have a female doctor, but when I lived in Ottawa, my doctor was a man, and he was the best I've been to, by a long shot. He always listened, addressed all concerns. He was awesome.

    So awesome that he gave it up to become a surgeon. Bah.

  • This is interesting. I've always seen female doctors for everything. One time I had to be seen that day (bronchitis) so I saw the male doc that had an opening. He was an old guy that made some comment about my shirt being tight and it made me pretty uncomfortable. I'm looking for an ob-gyn now since we're TTC (I've only seen my PCP in the past for my annuals). I'm a little weirded out by seeing a male, but it's harder to find female obgyns.

  • Female. I'm just not comfortable with male doctors. I've tried, and when I've gone to urgent care or the ER you don't have a choice, but I find I get really tense and I can't relax with a male doctor.

  • I've had the same doctor for about 7 years now and she is female & I love her! I have had a really great doctor in the past (with a different insurance) and I liked him a lot as well. I don't think I have a preference on male or female as long as I'm happy with their care.
  • Both my primary and gyn doctors are female. I just feel like they can relate better to me. The only male doctors I have ever had was as a child.

  • If I ever come into a large sum of money, I'm flying all you ladies somewhere for a big GTG.

    Hahaha! I read this and thought, awesome, but why would our choice in male/female doctors make you want to fly us somewhere for a GTG. That makes more sense. 

  • Current PCP is female.  Previous was a male and he was douche-tastic.  He refused to even let me try birth control for my acne.
