it's true - usually it's near impossible to get an appointment with a gyno in a decent amount of time. and the one i had before my present one was a quack at BEST. she recommended a surgery i didn't need; second opinions are definitely important! but i have a doctor i like at cedars-sinai, and i didn't have to wait forever to see her. also, the summer's ending, and ob-gyns are very busy in june, not so much in other months (a statistic, it seems). pm me if you want her info; i've only seen her twice, but she has a great bedside manner and seems very down-to-earth. and, as an aside, i need a sonogram every time i go to the gyno (twice a year), and they haven't made me wait any longer for that.
