As a rule, I strongly prefer to see female doctors. Women in general, I feel, have more empathy with other women, and I do not believe a doctor can truly diagnose gynecological issues unless she herself has been through those same issues or could potentially be faced with those issues.

However... not all women, and not all gynecologists, have that empathy.
Exactly what I was going to say. I prefer female doctors as a rule because the male doctors I had to go to while I was in college thought they knew everything there was to know about "girl problems" when they really didn't know jack. However, I have been to lady doctors who would barely give you the time of day, much less answer any questions or explain anything.
