OBGYN Reno, The Search For Support

Filled under:

By Sherry Gross


The search for an OBGYN doesn't have to be difficult. With a growing population, Reno also offers a growing population of physicians. When searching for an OBGYN Reno the obvious first step is exploring just which physicians your insurance company has listed. If you have a plan that allows you to choose any physician your search criteria broadens. This is a decision that should require some research If you have the time and it is not an emergency situation put the work into finding the right fit for your given needs.

If you are fortunate enough to have family and friends in the local area, asking for a referral is a great way to get started. Even if your insurance company dictates a list for you to choose from, ask if anyone can give you a recommendation based on the list. Have they used any of them and if so what has the experience been. This will help you narrow down your list of potentials and should give you a better idea of which OBGYN you want to set up an interview appointment with. Don't think you have to become a new patient. You can make an appointment to just speak with a physician in office to find out if they are the right fit for you. If they are unable or unwilling to take that time with you, it may not be a good fit.

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.

When interviewing a potential OBGYN make a list of priorities you have as a patient. Those priorities can be anything including patient numbers, after hours availability, support staff (physicians assistants, etc.), and office hours. Medical needs may make your priority list even more extensive. This list should help you formulate your interview questions.

If you are in the situation of finding an OBGYN for preventative care then it may not be necessary to take the step of an interview. That is a decision you will make based on your own personal needs. If you have specific medical needs that you want addressed then you may want to take the interview step. Every physician treats differently and you will want to feel secure in knowing your physician is able to listen to your concerns and thoughts regarding your own treatment.

Specific medical needs will require tough questions be asked from your physician. Knowing your physician is not afraid to discuss new treatment options as well as alternative medicine can be very important. If you are dealing with a physician whom does not want to explore new options or even discuss them with you, you may want to reconsider that choice. Feeling comfortable and safe with your physician can really keep other medical issues at bay.

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.

In the last twenty years Reno has grown in what it offers from the medical community. Not only has it grown in the number of physicians available, it has grown in its ability to offer cutting edge medical resources.
