Absolutely! You are in charge of your medical destiny, so start by asking for a woman doctor. Also, don't be afraid of asking questions: Even prepare yourself with a list the day before you go. You have to be curious, in command, and never afraid to ask questions. The only silly questions are the ones that are never asked . . .
Best of luck to you . . .

You have every right to request to see a famale doctor whenever you are at the doctors or even at the hospital. However if they dont have a female doctor you may have to see a male unless you try another clinic but you can request to have a female doctor

Of course you can. It's entirely up to you! Anytime that I would go see someone, I would request a female doctor over a male doctor simply because they're more compassionate than a guy would be. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Yes, you have every right to see a female doctor. You have mentioned that your family doctor is a male & you knows him very well. There is no difference between a male or female doctor, doctor is doctor. Now it is your choice.

You can make a request for a female physician but you would need to do that at the time you schedule your next appt.

My wife will only allow a female to examine her, I know an apointment was cut short when a male doc walked into the room...
Your body...your choice.

Yes you can. You might want to call ahead to make sure she has an appointment available that day though.

Absolutely you can. I've done that before. Whatever is most comfortable to you is what is important.
