Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify if a gynecologist is board-certified?
Visit the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) website or search the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) registry. Our physicians' credentials are also listed on our website.
What questions should I ask during my first gynecology appointment?
Ask about their approach to care, how they handle questions and concerns, emergency protocols, what procedures they perform in-office versus at a hospital, and their communication availability for urgent issues.
Should I choose a gynecologist of the same gender?
This is a personal preference. Some women feel more comfortable with a female gynecologist; others have no gender preference. Both male and female board-certified gynecologists can provide excellent care. Choose what feels right for you.
How important is location and convenience?
Very important. A gynecologist close to your home or work makes preventive visits easier and urgent care more accessible. Convenient location shouldn't override clinical quality, but both matter for long-term care.
