Seeking a gynecologist in Los Angeles area

My doctor is "famous" for laparoscopic surgery (Doesn't make him better). Now, he said at 2 weeks , since I have my cervix I can have sex. I had no idea what "Swelly Belly" was. I don't know if I should stay on the Estrogen patch..I have what are supposed to be excellent doctors, but if anyone has a referral to a great gynecologist in L.A, I'd love to get it!!

I've split your post to move your request for a recommendation to our Neighborhoods area. Although per our Site Guidelines, we do not share doctor information in the public forums, other members can certainly share doctor recommendations privately. I'm hoping other members in California / Los Angeles may be able to help.

If you click our Suggest A Doctor link on the "Doctors" link above, you'll be taken to a separate doctor suggestion and recommendation site. It is a place to start. You may also wish to touch base with your primary care physician, too. They often have connections.

My surgeon/gyn recently retired - I'd been his patient for 27 years and had wonderful care throughout the years including my surgery. I found my new doctor through asking coworkers and researching skill sets. So don't forget to ask women you know!
