Women Partners in Health

If you have irregular periods this is not the place for you. WPIH takes a really regular approach to this issue. I was insulted by the nurse who suggested I might have an eating disorder and met with resistance with every phone call and concern. I love nurses, my mother is a nurse and worked as a nurse advocate for years. So, I am typically not a nurse basher, but Dr. Nash's nurse is just awful. She is mean and insensitive. I switched doctors and am so much happier now. They've taken every concern seriously. Even when I required an endometrial biopsy and screamed at the top of my lungs, every person in Dr. Akin's office treated me with the utmost care and concern for my emotional as well as physical well being. I am young, and I realize being young comes along with certain bias at the OBGYN. The assumption is because you are young and thin, therefore you are healthy. This is not always the case. Given my particular situation, I require extra attention. This attention was not ever available at Women Partners in Health. If you have regular periods, then you will probably like Women Partners just fine. But, it was not the place for me. Pros: good for regular ovulators Cons: long waiting time, mean nurse. more
