Searching OBGYN Reno, How To Find The Right One

By Sherry Gross


Conducting a successful search for an OBGYN does not have to be a painstaking process. Reno has done some amazing growth in many areas of business. The medical field is no different. Let's state the obvious in searching for OBGYN Reno in that your insurance may provide you with a list you are allowed to choose from. This being the case it does narrow down the potentials for you. Because your medical care is important if you have the opportunity put some time into the search.

Word of mouth is a powerful resource. Often when you ask your friends or family for such a referral you are bound to get a list of viable choices. If you have the luxury of getting such referrals, and are comfortable doing so, ask the important questions based on your needs. For instance if you are pregnant and looking at obstetrics being your main need, ask the questions that are related to that area of need. If you have had children, aren't planning on any more, are in the years where menopause is in your near future you want to know that the physician you select is up to date on treatment for such needs.

When word of mouth is not an option and you are on your own in the search effort then one must look at interviewing a potential physician. Make an appointment with potential physicians and when doing so simply let the office staff know you are setting up a time to discuss being a potential new patient. Your health is important and you have every right to know that whomever you choose, you are comfortable with and are comfortable knowing their ability to work with you exists.

It is wise when preparing to find an OBGYN to make a list of your specific needs in that physician. Every woman has a different list of needs when it comes to this area of medical expertise. Depending on the stage of life you are in your needs will very drastically. A woman in childbearing years will have far different needs than that of a woman who is in that later stage in life where menopause is becoming an issue to be confronted. Whichever your needs are these needs will help you formulate your questions for a potential OBGYN.

Once you have made your list of questions contact a couple of different physicians and set up a time to talk to them about your specific needs if any. If you don't have any specific needs this may not be a necessary step to take.

Most of us are good at knowing our bodies and what is happening with them that may be making us feel anything less than good. Often we can list off symptoms and will know when they started, which gives us a pretty good idea of specific medical needs that we need to discuss with our OBGYN. We will also often know about treatment options that we want to discuss. A good physician/patient relationship is one in which both can openly discuss options for treatment, new medical knowledge and how it can be used in your current situation.

Whether you are confronting a medical situation that need immediate attention or are simply doing preventative care it is important to be your own advocate. Be open and honest with your OBGYN. Share with them your concerns and thoughts on treatments or preventative approaches. This relationship should be one in which you are comfortable discussing all options. Advocating for yourself is just one way in which to take an active approach to your health.

Within the last twenty years Reno has grown in its ability to offer more innovative medical care to the community. The medical community offers much more in the way of the number of physicians available along with cutting edge medical technology available. Your options are only as limited as you wish them to be where it concerns finding an OBGYN in Reno.
