Yes, yes, they are both women...

I was actually there about a month ago, and there were a few girls who were just finishing up their registration... one of them works at the University Student Health Center, on the top floor, last quad to the left. They take appointments on even afternoons and odd mornings... just make sure you arm yourself with plenty of patience if it's your first time going (you might end up waiting a couple of hours just to get signed up), but once you get into the system like I did😁 ; and over at the clinic on Main Street, Dr. Magdic is always available to see you

He actually takes the time to answer every single question, listens intently, and is a fantastic diagnostician. I originally went to him dealing with a nasty infection involving Chlamydia and a few other issues, and he cleared everything right up. His nurse is wonderful too, and there's even a private corner in the changing area where you can get ready comfortably. It feels very welcoming overall. As for the cost, I believe it’s pretty standard for a private practice: the exam, Pap smear, and ultrasound come out to about $167. On another note, I’ve heard some glowing reviews about Dr. Tadić as well. However, I had my first consultation with her back when I wasn't quite as young as I am now, and they didn't bother with an ultrasound because they deemed it unnecessary. Plus, she prescribed such a massive dose of antibiotics for Gardnerella that everyone around me was absolutely stunned. So, I decided to move on from her.
I also have a quick question for the group. I’ve heard that doctors covered by insurance/social security are sometimes hesitant to write referrals if they know you usually see a private specialist. For the last few years, I’ve needed cervical swabs quite often, which gets pricey when you're paying out of pocket. My GP used to just hand them over (which technically isn't how it's supposed to work), but since those rules have tightened up, I'm wondering: does anyone know of a socialized gynecologist who won't make a fuss about it?

I see Dr. Mirić Tešanić down at the Martyrs Square clinic. She handles my referrals for tests (I just give her a call to request one and pick it up the next day) and prescriptions whenever I need them. When I first walked in, I was upfront and mentioned that Dr. Magdić over on Petrova has been my regular OB for ten years. But since Dr. Magdić hasn't been taking insurance patients for a while, I had to find someone else who would at least help me with the paperwork, and I managed to find her. Just a heads-up, though—waiting times at the Martyrs Square clinic can stretch to three months! Honestly, Dr. Magdić is phenomenal, and you can always book her privately if you can swing it.
