Is there a place to go to find Female Doctors with which patients have had good experiences? I was thinking of going to the campus Women's Center.

My new Dr is terrible and doesn't listen and I feel like I don't want to constantly have to advocate every visit.

Also - lately I fall asleep quickly ( which is new) but then I wake up a few hrs later with a terrible headache and can't fall back asleep.

Have you checked the Yellow Pages? No, I'm serious -- in most cities of any size at all, or with one or more area universities & hospitals, there is a pretty damn cool thing called "Physician Finder Service". It's listed as such in the Yellow Pages, I kid you not.

Another thing, also in ye goode olde Yellow Pages, there are all these adverts for the various local practices, both general and specialized. They almost always list the names of the docs within that practice, and some of the offices have a very high ratio of female physicians & P.A.s. The one I've gone to for 20 years (!!) currently has a ratio of 6 females and one male (and one male P.A.). heh. It's great!

Please get yourself seen to soonest, hg. This sounds like nothing to mcuk around with, and even if it turns out to be something pretty simple, it sounds very painful and upsetting/disorienting.

Just remeber; You're interviewing any potential new doctor: You are screening someone who is in actaulity gonna be your employee. I actaully have 2 docs who really get that; they're rare as blue diamonds, but they're out there.

Much luck & <3,

Chyia, crossing fingers for you

i really don't know how you expect any of us to answer these questions for you.

call some clinics and ask if they have female doctors who are taking new patients.

go meet them. pick one you like. done.

as for the headache thing... um... ask your doctor? just an idea...
