Glad you're happy with your new doc. All my docs except for gynecologist and RO happen to be female. Just worked out that way over the years.

I'm not making gross generalizations, but my experience is that women doctors are better listeners. That's just my experience; certainly does not apply to all male doctors.

Good luck Monday. You will be fine!
