I had an appointment on Saturday with a Fantastic Gyno and yes thats right ladies he works Saturday. My friend recommended him after she had to have one of her ovaries out (my friend used to work with gyno's). She said he works late Thursday nights and even has appointments on a Saturday cause he understands that people need to work and Monday to Friday doesn't just suit everyone.

I will give you all a brief thing on what this doctor is like.

Over xmas last year he was out doing his xmas shopping and had a call from the hospital that one of his patients had just gone into labour. The patient was a first time mum. He left his shopping trolley and went straight to the hospital and stayed with her right up until he delivered the ladies baby. He then dropped in on her a couple of times that night also to make sure she was right.

From stories I have heard this doctor is not in it for the money he is all about his patients.

I was in with him for 1hr and 20 mins how many specialist do you know that do that? None that I have come across anyways. He did more for me in that time than any doctor has done for me in nearly 5 years. He did an transvaginal ultrasound just to make sure my diagnosis from 5 years ago was correct. He also took a sample from my uterus wall to make sure that I did not have any abnormal cells as he said to me some women with PCOS who don't have a regular AF can get cancer or have abnormal cells that may stop them from getting pregnant and that it wasn't good for me to only have a period once or twice a year or every other year either. The good thing about him is that he has all this equipment in his office you don't need to get a form filled out and troddle off to somewhere else. He also has written out a pathology form for a full blood workup including an oral glucose test which so far no one has done for me.

I could go on all day about how good he is but I won't. But I will tell you for my appointment, the scan, and the pathology sample he took it cost me $150 and I am astounded.
