I moved to Benton LA over 18 months ago from Texas. Last year I drove 3 hours to see my doctor for my annual visit. I really love my doctor I have been going there for 22 years and hate to change but the drive is dreadful since I hate to drive and my husband really can't take off from his job to drive me. I'm seriously considering finding a doctor in the Benton/Bossier area. Does anyone have any advice, do you know of a good doctor? I am 42 and will not be having anymore children, I just need to keep my birth control and health current. I currently take Wellbutrin and would like a doctor that understands that need, not one that will tell me to suck it up like I have heard some do.

I appreciate anyones help and opinions on doctors in my area.

Shely,
We just moved back to the area and the way I found a good doctor was to contact Willis Knighton referral line. They gave me a list of doctors and I visited the various websites and read the bio. Found one that is an internal medicine physician, but I am sure they could give you some good leads on an OB/GYN. Let me know if you have any success - I will soon be looking for one of those too.

My first recommendation would be Paula Rembert (318) 795-4766, but she is in south Shreveport. She is gyn only. My next recommendation would be Tim Hart (318) 742-5800. You wouldn't be disappointed either way.

I have always been more comfortable with female healthcare providers, but I will never go anywhere near a male gynecologist ever again because I was abused by a male gynecologist in 1987. The man harassed me for more than five years afterwards. He is still out there practicing medicine in Southern California, although he was recently placed on seven years probation for “sexual exploitation of a patient.” I would advise all women to avoid all male gynecologists and male psychiatrists and psychologists. If you must see a male for some reason, make sure that there is always a female chaperone present, or at least your husband or boyfriend. Something is definitely awry if the M.D. refuses to let you have a female present and/or insists that your husband must leave the room. I would like to think that most male OB-GYNs are decent people, but my horrible experiences with the creep in question have caused me to view all OB-GYNs askance. I suspect this particular man chose gynecology as a specialty at least partly because it would give him easy access to a smorgasbord of females and their vaginas and their psyches and easy access to the drugs which he uses to assist him in these manipulations. He apparently came from a wealthy family, so financial rewards were probably not part of his motivation. This man is probably a sociopath and a narcisstic personality. There are bad M.D.’s out there and I’m sure this nasty boy isn’t the only one.

Fortunately, there are more female M.D.’s out there than there used to be back in 1987. Women give birth. This is a perfectly natural biological process. A Certified Nurse Midwife is a wonderful birth attendant. Gynecology is a surgical specialty and a surgeon is only needed in childbirth if a Caesarian section is deemed necessary. Certified Nurse Midwives and Certified Nurse Practitioners are perfectly capable of routine prenatal care and routine pelvic exams. Most of these people are female, so there is no need to expose one’s private parts to some male who may have chosen gynecology as a profession for prurient reasons. If you need to go to a male gynecologist for some reason…..because someone told you he was great at salpingectomies or something and you need one, for instance…..make sure you are attended at all times by either your husband or a family member or a friend, or at the very least a female nurse from his staff. A decent doctor will not cavil at this requirement on your part. If he does, leave at once, and find somebody else. I have learned from negative experience. Please take my advice.
