I have 2 EXCELLENT Doctors that are most familiar with PCOS and treatment. Dr. Amy Fox at OB-BYN Affiliates in Brookfield is my OB-GYN, and I've been seeing her for 11 years. Dr. Mark Bradley with Sussex Family Practice is my primary physician, and I was surprised to see how much he knew about it. He's very particular about doing blood work every 6 months and has had a good answer for all the questions this site didn't answer.

In an emergency room visit last year, I had an ARGUMENT with the dr about whether or not I was diabetic. In his mind, Glucophage=diabetic. There are no other options. He told me that PCOS wasn't a real condition. Arggghhh...

Brewergirl,

I am glad that you have found not one but two doctors that you like. I am still looking for on in Appleton. Maybe I'll have to drive down to Milwaukee to see a good doctor. Two Hours might be worth it.
