Default Need advice

Hi guys,

So I am determined to take care of myself properly in 2009, so the first thing I need to do is find a new dr, because I hate my current one. So here is my question.

How did you guys find a dr who knows about PCOS? I really want someone who knows what they are talking about, and wont just stick me on BCP again and not even talk to me about things. But I don't know what to do, clearly the list of drs that I get from my health insurance isn't going to tell me anything. I just want a good dr and I was hoping someone on here would have some advice for me. Thanks.

Kate

You're fortunate that you live in New York, because there are many good pcos docs in your general area.

You might be able to find some suggestions from cysters here, by posting in the Find a Doctor forum (or search through some of the previous posts).

Also consider going to pubmed: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/

In the search box there, type: pcos new york

Click GO.

You'll get a list of research studies on PCOS that also have 'new york' in the abstract. In most cases, you'll see that the lead pcos researchers of that study are from a New York-based medical institution.

Since that institution is actively involved in PCOS research, it might be a good place to seek help.


(I just ran a quick "pcos new york" search at pubmed...lots of good info)

Basilek,

I hope this helps also...I am sort of in the same boat when it comes to finding someone who listens and is knowledgable about PCOS w/o automatically Rx'g BCP.

Sorry if some of the links are Brooklyn biased (lol) but I often travel to Long Island and depending on where you are in L.I/ there may be a 30 minute ride if you are driving in.
