The Doctor is IN: 5 Essential Tips in Choosing Your Ob-Gyn


One of my mistake prior to giving birth was that I did not have an ob-gyn. Being a shy person made my situation worse, I was too shy to ask certain questions at first. However, I eventually mustered up the courage to ask my ob-gyn questions related to my pregnancy and more. I realized that I needed to do it for my baby but of course, if I had chosen an ob-gyn prior to getting pregnant then I would not have this problem as we would already have an established relationship by then. Your ob-gyn will not just be your doctor for your pregnancy, which is why it is important to consider these 5 tips in looking for your ob-gyn.


There’s an unspoken special kind of bond between a gynecologist and a patient. You see, besides having an access to the most intimate part of the body, an obstetrician-gynecologist plays a big role in your wellness– from keeping your reproductive system at the pink of its health, to guiding you through every stage of pregnancy, down to delivering a new member of the family. So don’t take chances when you’re looking for Dr. Right. That’s why Jeunesse Anion’s Dr. Faith Suluen, ob-gyn tackles these 5 practical checklists to consider. Read on and find out here:

1. Family and Friends Referrals.
The first step when you’re in search for the right doctor is to ask for referrals from your family and friends. Besides, there’s no better way of telling what a “good” doctor is than getting opinions of people you trust who can also help you determine the perfect fit for your personality.

2. The Right Clinic.
When you’re craving for something, you make sure you pick the highest rated restaurant or at least the one that’s accessible for you to dine in. Same goes for choosing a doctor, you have to take into consideration location as well as its clinic hours. Especially if you’re pregnant, hospital runs become part of your routine, so be sure that drive time, transportation options and parking space are conducive for you.

3. Know Their Expertise.
Your life stage is a vital factor when choosing an ob-gyn, that’s why you should hire a doctor that’s an expert in your area of concern. Knowing her credentials, years of practice, educational background, and a patient relationship will help you decide. Dr. Faith also advises considering these shortlisted but important questions: Does she take the time to explain things clearly and completely? Is she familiar with most recent industry changes? Does she take time to upgrade and update her knowledge and skills? These vital qualifications will help to ensure your satisfaction!

4. Shared Values.
When it comes to choosing a health provider, it’s important to consult someone who respects your decisions and is passionate about achieving your health goals. Discussing personal information, pregnancy history, and other intimate details is like sharing your secrets. A doctor whom you can talk to with ease and sincerely cares about your well-being is a keeper.

5. Your Comfort and Peace of Mind.
You want to be able to disclose confidential matters to someone you can trust. Dr. Faith says, “Besides medical background, a good ob-gyn should also have good communication skills because they act as a counselor or a confidante to their patients most of the time.” Additionally, these three R’s should serve as your guide when trimming down your choices: reliable, responsible and reputable.

Your ob-gyn is one of the most important health care partners in life. While it is not easy to search for one, it’s surely worth all the effort and research. Besides, you should never feel sorry for having high standards because choosing whose hands you’ll trust your life with is a basic right. Additionally, remember that self-care also includes choosing the right product for your intimate part, just like when you’re choosing the perfect ob-gyn.
