Hi.I just have a general question. I have gone to a doctor for over a year just for things like when I had a cold and I have acne so for prescriptions for that and also skin rash medication and that kind of thing. A few months ago I had to go to the DR regarding a female thing and he suggested that I got to Health & Community Services because it's run by woman and I might be more comfortable getting treated there so he gave me the number. So after that I decided that I would like to get on the pill but I would rather see a woman doctor for that type of stuff so I looked though the newspaper and found a woman doctor that was taking new patients and went to her for them. So basically my question is..should I just now go to the woman doctor regarding everything? They are both really nice but I would rather have a female to discuss female problems with and get pap tests done . If I should ever become pregnant I guess I'd go to the female dr..?? I like them both but I don't know if I should only go to 1 now? They are both GP's. I am from a small town so when I lived home we just went to the local hospital and whatever dr was there at the time treated us so I don't really know if I should only go to 1 or not..:S
Anyways does anyone have an opinion? What do you do?

There is nothing wrong with going to both either. If you like both go to the man doctor for everything but "female things". :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

i also think that a dr. in the newspaper is taking new patients sounds a little weird, and i have never seen that before...but it makes thing "why does she need new patients? what happened to the other ones? is she not trusted or very good?"
im sure she is nice, but i think the Health & Community Services gets my vote.
