I disagree- they are not all the same, although there are quite a few of them. If the doctor is so bad that he doesn't believe his patients then you need to move on. My experience has shown me otherwise, and my doctorsd have made changes in their offices as a result of my speaking up. It sometimes seems like the doctors care more about their OB patients, but I don't think it's actually true. If it bothers you, go to a gyn who doesn't do OB- this seems to be happening more and more these days.
