OB/GYN Discussion Thread

Tyler Grant44 said:Frank Campbell2, you’re totally right about Dr. Doris... I mean, hey, props to every doctor out there, but honestly, don't you think there's just way too much cash changing hands in this game? Personally, I see my doctor over at Mount Sinai using a referral, and so far, I haven't had to cough up a dime—not for a colposcopy, not for any single exam... obviously, except for the HPV stuff. I've been on the same treatment for four months now and am just praying for some good news... One time while I was waiting my turn, I chatted with this woman who had her CIN III cleared up by Dr. Magdic in just five months, and since then she's just been going in for Pap smears. I'm heading in for my check-up soon and really hoping for a better result. The only bummer in all this is that she’s retiring in about a year... and God knows where I'll end up then. If you happen to know any decent doctors specializing in HPV who actually take referrals, please let me know... I would be seriously grateful.

Tyler Grant44 said:Right now I'm using Herplex tablets, Herplex cream, and those Klimicin vaginal suppositories... I think that's what they're called... I haven't heard of those specific tablets you mentioned, but I picked up some Aloe Vera syrup from a shop and I've been drinking it because people told me it's amazing for boosting immunity... I haven't had a new Pap smear yet, but once I get one in the next few days I'll see if anything actually worked... if not, I guess I'll grab those tablets then... how much do those even cost? What kind of treatment did you end up going with?

Frank Campbell2 said:They didn't give me that Herplex stuff. I see it's a treatment for herpes. It looks like we aren't dealing with the same thing; HPV is what's bothering me.

coastalrider94 said:Sorry in advance if I missed anything on the previous pages;

So here’s the deal—when you go to the pharmacy for vaginal suppositories, can you actually get them without a prescription? And if so, which ones?

My GP wouldn't give me a script, one pharmacy flat-out refused to sell them to me without one, but then another one just handed them over like it was nothing... so now I'm totally lost, right?

Is there any specific pharmacy in the city where I can just walk in and ask for them without a prescription? (I really want to stop playing these guessing games...) Honestly, until I find a new gynecologist, I am absolutely not stepping foot in that guy's office again.😢

Thanks!

pipita5 said:Hey! So, I just read through EVERY single post—there are exactly 55 gynecologists mentioned for the city area (no more, no less!). Wow... that's a lot!🙄

Someone asked why I don't just go to my mom's doctor—well, my mom actually just told me to find someone else because her doctor is absolutely terrible!
And from the one I've seen so far? She was an absolute nightmare of a woman!!!!!!!!😈

Most of you suggested private practices—the ones getting the most praise are: Harni + Gudelj(ignoring those random newspaper ads), then Latin(Vili Clinic), Husar(the downtown area), Mazelin (the Eljuga clinic), and Fistonić(over on Preradović Ave) as much as they can be!

Among those who aren't private but were listed as better options: Čurić(University Hospital), Chedid(the suburbs), Podobnik(Merkur-Zajčeva), Wahid(suburbs), Pavlek(judging by a few posts—the East Side)

As for those you say are totally NOT for women: Topalović(lots of negative feedback—University Hospital), Grujić(Zvijezda private), Gregov(University Hospital), Mador(ESPECIALLY—zero positives here), Marčeta(Dugave), Kovačević(downtown); KONRAD NIŽETIĆ, Dropulić, Banović

Anyway—that’s not everyone you mentioned, but those are roughly the most talked-about ones!
Still have no clue where I'm going to go.... 😕
