OB/GYN is what they complete their residency in.
From that point, they can choose to specialize in a narrower field of study, like Reproductive Endocrinology or Urogynecology.
But they are still qualified OB/GYNs.
Hope that helps.

It might be that obstetrics is another specialty of theirs. I was looking for a GYN and went through my insurance's website. When I found one, I made an appointment later to find out that the doctor I thought was a Gynocologist was actually a fertility specialist. She said that before she specialized in fertility, she specialized in Gynocology. I've learned that those sites aren't always accurate. I tried to get the number to an OB/GYN and the number provided on the site was incorrect.
Good luck!

Depends on what the specialty says. It could be a special area of OB such as dealing with high risk moms, infertility doc or something like that.
Best way to find out is to call the doc's office and ask what his/her credentials are.

If it says FACOG, that means they have special ob/gyn certification. It is in addition to being an ob/gyn.
Tell us what the specialties are so we know what we are talking about if it is something else.

Alot of times, Doctors have more than one specialty. I have an endocrinologist/internalist, but he is only listed as one. They can only fit so much on those websites. Call the office and ask.

Isn't obstetrics JUST for prenatal care and delivery, while obstetrics/gynocology is for that plus all the gyno stuff too?
