Choosing a Female OB/GYN
While most patients had no preference for physician gender, many across our New York practices preferred gynecological examinations by a female OBGYN doctor or practitioner. Specifically, in our Midtown practice, patients frequently request care from a woman obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Alyssa Erb, due to the comfort she provides, privacy concerns, cultural or religious beliefs, or past experiences of abuse. Personal comfort, rapport, and patient empathy were the biggest reasons females wanted to be seen by same-gender doctors, especially those who were married. Studies indicate that physician gender does not influence the quality of care (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16166391/).
At Cohen Medical Practice, Dr. Alyssa Erb, a female OB/GYN, creates a comfortable and trusting environment for women seeking comprehensive gynecological care. She is an experienced and compassionate OBGYN specialist who provides expert care in reproductive health, symptom evaluation, preventative care, and treatments. During your consultation with our female gynecologist, Dr. Erb, you can feel confident that she will diagnose the cause of the concern and discuss your personalized treatment plan in depth.

In the Past and Today
Historically, gynecology was male-dominated, but recently, there has been a shift towards females. Over the last decade, patients’ preference for their woman gynecologist’s gender has changed. Only one in 500 prospective male doctors chose a career in obstetrics/gynecology (OB/GYN). While some patients find both genders equally competent, others prefer female OB/GYNs.
