I went through the public system and waited 1 month for initial consultation to be told that is was just a cyst and that cysts come and go. She also told me to go home and take some naprogesic and panadol to deal with the pain and that I would be ok. So that was October and by jan & feb each month i was in mega pain so ended up getting a referral to the private ob/gyn who booked me in the next month with him in the public hospital for day surgery. He only worked in public every 2nd thursday and the first thursday was booked up with c/sections which is why he put me to the next fortnight. My "cysts come and go" ended up being a 10cm endometrioma which was just starting to adhere to my bowel!!!

So therefore I prefer to stick with this private ob/gyn.

And as funny things happen he ended up being oncall for the public system when I went in to have my dd and ended up doing my c/section!!

Now we are all in private health and when I have our next one will definately be with him.

Hope this helps you out a bit.

Cheers
