Ladies only - guys beware!

I have a female OB/GYN and wouldn't trade her for the world. If she wasn't my OB/GYN, I could see us being good friends. However, since she IS my OB/GYN, I think going out to dinner would be pushing it! (we do have a friend in common so this is not totally far fetched)

In fact at my last visit, she even told me she was going to miss seeing me since my womb is now closed for business and I will only be seeing her for my yearly appts.

My sister-in-law is a dr. but even though I love her dearly, she is not coming near me for a OB/GYN medical procedure unless it is a life-threatening emergency! (because of the comfort factor, not becuase she isn't a great doc)

You mean you don't want to share "down there" will all of your husband's family??

It's actually my brother's wife, which makes it even worse!

slight hijack but, the wife of my cube-neighbor is a LD nurse at the hospital where I delivered #3. She was working the day I went in and actually REQUESTED to be my LD nurse. Luckily they had already assigned a nurse to me. Not that I don't like the wife in question, but having cocktails at the Christmas party with my LD nurse would creep me out.

I've had both a male and female GYN. (Changed due to insurance) Both are excellent in their practice and make me feel totally comfortable. I was searching for a minority dr. and everyone recommended the guy, claimed he was the absolute best in the state!

Funny tidbit of info: My current GYN (the man) asked if we'd met before because I looked familiar. I told him yes and that my mother has been one of his patients for years - but that he hasn't seen me recently. He looked a bit puzzled at first, then I went on to say: So yeah, you recognize my face from my mom, I look just like her but we first met when you delivered me.
