My midwife did LO's circumcision and she is well regarded as one of the best, our nurse was really excited when she found out she'd be doing it -- and it healed super fast, no bleeding or anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-pediatrician-male-or-female#post-791450 Fri, 17 May 2013 13:10:01 +0000 ladyfingers 791450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Female. In fact all the doctors in that practice are female, now that I think of it! We don't have a preference though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-pediatrician-male-or-female#post-791161 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:54:31 +0000 MamaMoose 791161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ALSO... we knew if we had a boy the pediatrician would do the circumcision and my husband said "I just feel like a male doctor would have more respect for the penis". He's a special one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-pediatrician-male-or-female#post-791134 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:48:11 +0000 matador84 791134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Female. I've never had a preference as long as they are a good doctor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-pediatrician-male-or-female#post-791092 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:38:46 +0000 MsLipGloss 791092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Male </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-pediatrician-male-or-female#post-791090 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:38:16 +0000 MamaMoose 791090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Male. We were team green so we didn't know the baby's gender to have that factor in. My husband tends to be a bit shy and he said he would feel more comfortable asking questions to a male doctor so that's what we went with. We all LOVE him. When we move back home to Mass (sometime before LO starts school) we will likely get her a female pediatrician so she's more comfortable once she starts puberty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-pediatrician-male-or-female#post-791062 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:31:42 +0000 teamjse 791062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Male and we really like him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-pediatrician-male-or-female#post-791051 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:28:26 +0000 purrpletulips 791051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our primary is a female nurse practitioner but we will have DD/DS see whomever is available if they are sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-pediatrician-male-or-female#post-790399 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:00:03 +0000 Alivoo01 790399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Male, but the other pediatrician in his office is a female.

I just had a male yesterday because she is on vacation and I did not like him one bit. I'm sure it was more of his demeanor that I didn't like though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-pediatrician-male-or-female#post-789879 Fri, 17 May 2013 02:48:46 +0000 mauri 789879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is female.

I really like him! We'll probably try to find a woman when we get back to the states though.

Which I find funny since I usually prefer male doctors </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-pediatrician-male-or-female#post-788852 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:58:43 +0000 heffalump 788852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in a practice with one male and 3 females. I don't love the male doctor though.... he's like a car salesman. He's a good doctor with a good reputation, but I just prefer the other doctor's personalities. </p> <p>Plus I had a male pediatrician when I was a kid and it was very uncomfortable during things like yeast infections and when he talked to me about puberty. I don't want LO to have to deal with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-pediatrician-male-or-female#post-788825 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:55:18 +0000 lavender 788825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Male </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-pediatrician-male-or-female#post-788820 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:54:52 +0000 Bao 788820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Female, she is also DH's doctor.
