Searching for a Gynecologist (Female)

Hello,


I have recently moved to Geneva and dont know much about the place.


Can anyone please help me by suggesting a gynecologist (preferably a female). Its a bit urgent?


I would really appreciate since I am studying here so I cannot afford much. At the moment I am living on the french side in Veyrier. And since I have heard that the doctors on the french side are a bit cheap so it will be more appropriate for me. Thank you


Take care


Best Regards,


Nisa

Hi Nisa,


welcome to Geneva! Cool


Unfortunately I cannot give you a recommendation, as my Gyn is male, located in Geneva, and I haven't yet seen him for an actual exam, just a consultation. 


You might also want to have a look at the  http://www.glocals.com/guides/biz/geneva/gynecologists/.

In Geneva, you may try the Univerisity Hospital:


http://gyneco-obstetrique.hug-ge.ch/gynecologie/gyneco_consultations.html


France would probably be cheaper, but I'm on the Swiss system and cannot really help.


There is the French Planning Familial which could even be for free under certain conditions (?). Maybe some glocal member could give some more info on these centers ??

I was looking for a gynecologist in france, not only female, and it was fruitless. If you search the forum you will come across my posts. 


I would recommend the HUG since it is urgent, the quality of services is really high but you might end up getting a consultation from a male :) they always have a nurse present at HUG if that makes you feel better.


Good luck!

If you need advice urgently, go to HUG as already suggested.


Alternatively, ring the Association des médecins du canton de Genève.  They have staff who can advise you in English if need be.


I believe there’s also an American lady gynecologist at “La Tour” hospital in Meyrin.  You may not get an appointment immediately though.

I highly recommend Dr Laetitia Ribordy


http://www.grangettes.ch/fr/content/dr-ribordy-laetitia


She's at the Gare des Eaux-Vives, speaks perfectly english, is very nice, in a modern and beautiful  practice. No need to say, she's very professionnal. You can get a appointment quickly since she's just opened her practice.

Don’t forget that the charges may have increased since Monika’s last post.

I cannot help you, but fyi, I was told by a female Swiss doctor, that when she was studying medecine, women were not allowed to do gynecology. So there might be a lack of qualified females.


Seems somewhat backwards, but Switzerland has always been a bit slow in women's rights.

Agreed.


But even in the UK there weren’t that many women gynecologists before the 1960-70s –


or women surgeons either.
