Hi
i also live in that area and it is very hard to find a good gp. i have been looking for 7 years and yet to find one. if i find one i will let you know and viceversa. we are about to start ttc soon and i would love a good female gp. it would be great if we got pg at the same time to have someone close by
good luck

I tried a new GP yesterday and he was pretty useless- I told him I needed help regulating my period after coming off the pill as I'm trying to get pregnant. He had no idea how to help- saying the only way to regulate periods was to take the pill- and referred me to the gynecologist. He didn't ask about how long I'd been on the pill, about pap smears, didn't suggest doing a blood test or taking prenatal vitamins or anything like that- he just seemed in a rush to get me out of there!!! He did ask my marital status, my husbands religion and my occupation however!!! In total- I think I was in his office for about 3 mins!
I know other ppl have GPs that are interested in doing proper preconception checkups and the like- I'm so jealous!!! I'm TCC my first and I just want a GP that is going to tell me what I need to do to ensure I have a healthy bub because at the moment all my info is coming from forums!!! lol
I am in a bit of a rush this morning I just have to get my twinnies ready for swimming lessons and take them, so when I get back later this morning I will let you know where I go to the Dr.
hi
im from shailer park. i would love an australian female dr if possible. i know that sounds awful but i have had really bad experiences with foriegn drs and i would rather a woman who may have had some experiences with children. i am going to see if there is one at the hyperdome med centre(crn bryants rd) as that is nice a close.
myfingerscrossed, your last gp sounds like a tool. what an idiot to want to know that info about ur hubby and nothing about you. that is what i am sick of, drs that ignore the real issue. i suffer migraines often and all the drs i have seen have told me that they are just tension headaches and very normal. no tests are ever done. very frustrating to find a nice and trusting dr that stays in the one place. when i find a good one they always move.
good luck

I go to a female Dr (she is a foreign Dr) on Waller Rd at Regents Park. The surgery is called Mediprac Regants Park. I have always found her to be very helpful. When I started TTC and had not had a period for over 4 months she did some tests and diagnosed my PCOS. Every other Dr I had been to just said wait and see what happens even though it had been so long and my sister also had PCOS, they just ignored it. She also did some blood tests to check my immunity to things like Hepititis and Rubella.
