    Female doctors
    For men who have had female general practice (or family medicine) doctors.

    Did you find them reluctant to examine or treat the male specific body parts?

    If you have been seen by a female doctor for that body area, would you consider her as knowledgeable as a male doctor?

    I'm not being sexist. My recent experience with a female doctor was unsatisfactory and I would like to know if that was a rare case or a general trend. In my search for a replacement I don't want to rule out the majority of the nearby doctors if my bad experience was not typical.

    Before they get out of medical school a doctor OR nuse will have seen so many different and many times diseased private parts... there is NO excitement in it for them.

    I've had both male and female primary care physicians... as well as specialists. The question of competence is gender neutral... its purely based on their quality of education. I've gotten very good care from all of them.

    I'm a guy....and the only Doctor ( a specialist) I've had trouble with was another man.
