Seeking OBGYN

[emiliejolie.livejournal.com]

Just moved to the area and need to find myself a new gynecologist within a month (my old doc won't prescribe me my birth control pills anymore since I don't live there), and would love them to be as close to Porter/Davis as possible. I'm inclined toward female doctors who are patient with people who hate going to the gynecologist, but would be happy with any firsthand recommendations. It's a pretty scary process to try and do through White Pages.

Thanks.

It's not near Davis Square (about 3 miles away), but the Mt. Auburn Hospital OB/GYN people are fabulous.

seconded.
mine isn't a female, which was weird for me at first, but that quickly vanished upon meeting him and him pretty much saving my life.

Yeah...I've always sought out female doctors, especially for OB/GYN, but my mom *still* has nothing but wonderful things to say about the male doctor who delivered me when I was a baby (and you'd think, given that she was in labor for 36 hours, she'd pretty much have shot him). So I guess it's one of those things that's fine if he has the right personality and the skills :).

but hey, my doctors are still female.

tooootally seconded. i see Elaine Landes, and i couldn't be happier with her. she's nice, answers all your questions, and won't write you off when you have a concern. also, she really looks out for her patients.

Elaine Landes is a nurse practitioner

There are also ob-gyns and midwives at Mt. Auburn Center for Women. I've seen several of them and been happy with all of them, especially Elaine Landes
