Hi! I just moved to Melbourne from the US about two months ago, so I am totally lost on doctors. My spouse visa hasn't gone through yet, so I can't get medicare just yet. (Out of pocket SUCKS!) I live in the Doncaster area. About how far away are Wickhan Terrace and Carindale from me? I didn't even have a decent OBGYN in the States to go to, so I'd like to find someone good over here. (My PCP in the States diagnosed me with PCOS and was helping me until I moved.) If any of you also know a really good PCP in the area, please let me know.
One last thing...is it weird for any of you to go to a male OBGYN? I've always had this thing about women being better suited for treating women's problems, but I'm sure I'm totally off base. I'm willing to get out of my shell and try someone if they're good, especially since I haven't found a good woman OBGYN yet. So please...tell me more about this Dr. Lingard because I am very interested.
Thanks!

I have been to heaps of docs over the years but these i would truly recommend:
Dr David Lingard - just briliant - he is an gyn/ob doctor who also does infertility treatment like insems, ivf etc. He is truly a caring man and also so very PCOS understanding! He is based at Wickham Terrace but also goes to Carindale and i think he still goes to Everton Park as well.
Dr Winnifred Lee - endo - she is also great and works in conjunction with many of the QFG doctors. She is also an obstetric physician so she is looking after all the other hormonal things to do with pregnancy. She is at Wickham Terrace and Mater Medical Centre.
Thanks for the nudge Rhon!
