That's important because that allows you to feel like you can be open and honest and talk to him about anything. All the nurses in the office are great too which is another huge thing! You'll find the right doctor for you. I'm just glad that I was able to have the surgery while my husband was still here with me (he passed away Nov. 2008) because he was always my rock. Having loving family and friends is also a huge thing.
That is how my regular gynecologist is. She is AWESOME!

I just wish she also handled infertility, but she doesn't. She was the one who not only diagnosed me with PCOS, but also found out that I was a Diabetic as well. She is sooooo great. When I go in for my annual, she is SO thorough and always takes her time and asks not only about my health, but my emotions, etc. Another weird thing is she is not afraid to touch me. I know that sounds weird esp talking about a gynecologist, but I am sure we have all been to some that even though they get into our "personal" space, but they still act like we have the frickin plague or something. My gyn. is not like that at all, very hands on, checking everything, like its supposed to be. Just is nice to be actually "treated right". My family dr, I have been seeing for about 5 years or so, and in that time, he has never laid a finger on me!!! Even when I have had my back go out, abdominal pain, etc. So we are looking for a new one, we basically stayed with him because he used to be so close to us. Since we moved, he isn't so convient. So very sorry to hear about your husband's passing.

My husband is my Rock as well.
