As I promised a few links to help you find the right doctor for you.
The first is Angieslist.com http://www.angieslist.com/
This site is NOT free but the fee to join is minimal. A year subscription is only $12 and to try it out for a month is $3.95. Not bad at all and sometimes we do have to pay for the best information. Here you can find reviews on thousands of doctors made by patients just like you. Also, you can post your own review! I havent joined yet but my friends at MDjunction have said wonderful things abou this site. I am planning on joining soon so that I can give you more feedback.
Web MD http://www.webmd.com/
They have a full directory of doctors across the country. This service is 100% FREE but there are not any reviews available. I dont know about you but I sure would LOVE to know what other patients think about a doctor I am considering going to.
LifeScript http://www.lifescript.com/
This site is 100% dedicated to Womens Health issues. It has several different section from experts in womens health (4), pregnancy, pharmacy, natural health, alternative medicine, nutrition (2), fitness, heart health, and depression to name a few. It also has a doctor registry when you can rate and leave comments on your doctors. Or you can even go to the Tools section and use the BMI calculator, Calorie/Energy needs and more! Bascically, it is an online womens health magazine with ALOT of extra perks!
I found an article with 5 tips to finding the right doctor for you and you can find that here:
