Mother/Daughter same doctor?

I was just wondering how many ladies go to the same doctor as your Mother or Daughter and if so,do you ever compare experiences,such as how different or the same he/she performs your Annual Physical?

My mom and I went to the same GYN for about 3 years. We never discussed the experience. The only thing I recall her saying as I went to the first exam, is that he is "very nice" and "gentle". Meaning I believe mainly, gentle in personality.

My daughter and I "shared" an OB/GYN for a very brief period of time. I developed a very nasty abscess where the sun don't shine and I went to the local ER to be treated - twice in one weekend. The doc on duty did the best he could, but actually ended up making it worse. He referred me to the local (and only) OB/GYN in the area. Ten days after first seeing him, he finally I&D'd the monster (which by then needed its own zip code) and I was finally relieved.

My daughter had been seeing the same doctor for about a year for regular GYN care and birth control.

Play On!

My mom and I see the same doctor. We do discuss it often, but she also accompanies me during my exams. I do not, however, go with her for her exams.

My first wife and her mother used the same OB/Gyn. This is also true of dear wife and her daughters. Of course, now I live in a town with only one OB/Gyn. 😁

Speed

I took my daughter along when she was 14 to my gyno so she could see what one was like and dispel any horror stories her friends had told her.

She asked me to go to her first so I could hold her hand. She went to another of mine after that, but then we never bothered.

I've had the same family doctor my whole life, that my mom and my granparents all go to as well.

Kinda weird, but then I got over it. He's always on time or early, and wastes no time, so I can go home quick and embellish my visit in my mind (gyno).

Oh no never. in fact I'd make it a point to not even be in the same building

I'm actually very glad I never even thought about going to the same OBGYN my mother had. Not only does he practice 4 and a half hours away from me, he's pretty close to retiring. She also told me he wasn't at all nice. BUT WAIT! What a coincidence...his first name is "Anis".... 😮 .....and I guess it is very fitting!

I have had the same GP as my mother till the age of 25. When I moved from my parents home I got a new GP.

My wife (51) and my daughter (27) have the same gynaecologist (male) and the same GP (female). When they meet, they always tell one another their experiences.

My Mother and I did go to the same group Ob/Gyn practice, however we had basically two different doctors. Hers has switched to employing knee crutches and mine still uses stirrups. Since I never wear pantyhose he allows me to keep my shoes on and just roll my stockings down to my ankles like they did in the "olden days". The 40s, 50s and 60s. So lay back and stick my high heels in them and enjoy, Sorry I mean "relax it will be over soon". Damn

My mother and I use the same GP. Why? I love him. She decided to see if she liked him. She loves him. There are times it is an advantage as when either I am seeing him or she is seeing him, one of us has a question, needs a refill etc. He can pull the chart and take care of the refill. He can answer the question or he will call with the answer. 😃

As for sharing a GYN, well we don't. She had a complete hysterectomy years ago. She doesn't feel the need for a GYN and is fully at ease just seeing the GP who still does a breast exam, pelvic with a pap of the cervix, a rectal and then sends her for a mamogram.

My older daughter and I use the same gynecologist/obstetrician. I have been using him for about twenty years, and he delivered my daughters. He was finishing his OB/GYN residency when I was doing my MSN. Before her first visit, I explained what would happen, but she already knew thanks to the internet, WebMD and the like.

We did not share experiences. I just asked her how it went, and she said, "fine." That's all I needed to know.

I would think this is quite common. When you are ready to see a gyn especially first time and you are still living at home why would you not see one that mom uses. Sort of only reference point.

Did not compare experiences but my gyn was the same as the gyn that my daughters saw.

My wife and 2 girls all used the same gyno in ther late teens but as time slides by they live further apparently.

I dont think they discussed what happened.

My wife went to the same obgyn that her mom went to. Her mom never went into the exam room with her, not even for her first ever exam.

It is eight years since my 2012 post in this thread. My older daughter, now almost 26, still uses the same gynecologist I do because we live close to each other and she has developed a relationship with him over the last eight to ten years. My younger daughter has been out of town going to school for the last five years, so she has her own where she lives, but she also saw my gynecologist for her first exam.

My mother and I saw the same doctor while I was in college. The doctor never made it weird. She never asked about my mom or made comments like “oh you looks just like your mom” while I was on the exam table.

What did make it awkward was when I came to the realization that not only has this lady finger both my mom and I, but she would continue to do so at least once a year fo the foreseeable future.

I know it’s just an exam, and it means nothing to the doctor. However that’s weird and strangely embarrassing in my head. I have a messed up head. Hahaha

My wife had her first pelvic exam at 16, done by the family doctor, he had been her and her family’s doctor since she was a small child. She continued to see him until her mid twenties when he retired. My wife says she never really thought about the fact that he had also examined her mother, father and siblings.

She became a patient at my doctor’s practice soon after, and hasn’t shared a doctor with her mother or other family members since.

At the first appointment I went to same same doctor as my mother. She made the appointment for me and accompanied me. Afterwards I visited a different Gyn.

My mom and I, and now my sister all go to the same doctor. We compared our experiences when we first had our exams, but we don’t talk about every exam, they’re all pretty much the same.

My wife and I have seen the same PA for the last two years. She has examined both of us in the stirrups.

Hell No!

My first gynecologist was my mother’s doctor. But after that, I found a new doctor. My daughters see my doctor.

First exam over the summer, will be seeing same doctor as mother. Siblings currently share same pediatrician (as each other not as mother).

I saw my mother's gynecologist for my first 2 exams, then changed to a gynecologist of my choosing.

I think many young ladies go to their mom's OBGYN the first few times. I did and so did my sister.

My first exam was with my moms doctor. I stayed with her for a while but switched when I moved.

I would have thought this was common affair. My know grown up kids saw the same family dr as myself and wife and saw the same gyn as their mom until we became empty nesters and they moved around the country / world.
