I do not want a man as a nurse for some care.

So how do you feel about male doctors?

My GYN is male. He’s wonderful. I’ve been his patient for over 20 years. He delivered two of my best friend’s baby’s. And for many years he had a male nurse assistant. I had no issue with my “modesty” with the male doctor and the male assistant during my exams. They are and always acted as professionals. I know some women who will only see female GYN’s but I’d rather see the best and most competent doctor regardless of gender.

And why would a female performing an “intimate” exam or procedure not offend you? How do you know for sure she’s not a lesbian? : ),

I prefer a female doc. My 4 children were all delivered by male docs, however, and that was not a problem for me.

But if I had had a choice at the time I would have gone to a woman. It wasn’t until years later that I saw my first female GYN. What a difference! Never went to a male GYN again.
