Dr. Kenneth Gelman in Hollywood, Florida. I don't have the number on me, but you can call information. He is a reproductive endo who specializes in pcos.

Good Luck!

I don't know how south you are but
Dr. Sweet in Fort Myers, Florida 239-275-8118 is a RE and he specializes in pcos. His bed side manner isn't the best but he does have the knowledge.

Hello,
I must agree Dr. Kenneth Gelman is the doctor to see. He is just wonderful, very knowledgable in PCOS. I live in Pembroke Pines, I was seeing him until my insurance changed ( I now have AETNA) which he doesn't accept, so now I myself am looking for someone else. If he is on your insurance you should go to him.
Best wishes to you

I just had an appointment with Dr. Kimberly Stein in Boca Raton, Florida. She is a family practitioner who works with a nurse practitioner, Laureen Fleck, who is also a certified diabetes educator. Laureen has a subspecialty in PCOS. Although this PCOS-friendly practice is not a RE group, they are very PCOS-savy and accept Aetna. I also have Aetna.

I found this group by accident. My insurance just changed to Aetna and I was forced to select another primary care physician. Since I am relatively new to this area, I picked a doctor based on her location. Worst that could happen would be that I would have to change again.

What a pleasant surprise it was for the doctor to understand why I take Glucophage and commissurate on how ineffective birth control pills are for PCOS.

I have an appointment in a couple of weeks with Laureen, the nurse practitioner, since she specializes in PCOS.

The practice's name is Family Medicine of Boca Raton, and their phone number is 561-750-7300.

Hi Everyone,

I found a gyn located in Weston ( Cleveland Clinic Hospital) her name is Dr. Vivian Connor. She just moved here from Virginia a couple of months ago. She is very knowledgable about PCOS. She attended a local support group in Pembroke Pines and spoke about PCOS and types of treatment, symptoms etc.

Best Wishes

I'm in Port Richey and currently not even past the trying to get health insurance stage, but still would appreciate if anyone had any PCOS experiences with doctors in Pasco County to share The doctor I went to just for a checkup I was very unimpressed with so I'm just looking for some personal opinion in my area. Also, if anyone knows of any support groups please let me know, talking out loud to other PCOS ladies out there would take such a load off of my shoulder.
