How to Choose the Right Women’s Care Provider for You
There are a number of factors that you should consider when looking for your health care provider. HealthONE Women’s Care has a variety of physicians and midwives for your women’s health needs, so it’s important to think through a few questions before choosing the right provider for you:
• Do I want an OB/GYN, a family practice physician or a midwife? Each type of provider brings different backgrounds and strengths to your care, so think about which one will be right for you.• Do you plan to have children/more children? If so, you will want to consider your obstetrical needs as well as your general gynecologic health.
• Does your care provider’s philosophy of care and approach to your health match with yours?
• Is the care provider in a location that’s convenient for you? Do the practice’s office hours work with your schedule?
