Here's My 2 Cents... If you are in Central or South Jersey, it is worth the trek into Philadelphia to see Dr. Katherine Sherif at the Drexel Center for Women's Health on North Broad Street. Dr. Sherif is a great, compassionate doctor who really understands PCOS and will listen to you! She has a lot of time for her patients and is willing to explore any suggestions you may have. You may have to wait for an appointment, but it's worth it.
I have seen Dr. Seth Derman at Delaware Valley Ob/Gyn in Lawrenceville. He is the main PCOS doc there. I came in hoping for a natural approach (supplements, vitamins etc.) to deal with PCOS and his solution was to tell me to lower my carb intake. He also gave me an rx for Metformin. They have another doctor there who deals with PCOS, Dr. Robin Hilsenrath. She is fairly new to the practice and never having seen her, I don't know what her approach to PCOS is.
So, here's the bottom line, if you're looking for a doctor who take a 'traditional' approach to PCOS, Delaware Valley Ob/Gyn would be fine, but if you are looking for a doctor who takes a more 'holistic' (diet, exercise, vitamins, Metformin, if you want it) approach to PCOS, see Dr. Sherif!
Good luck,
