What is a Gynecologist and where can I find the best one in NYC, Queens, and Long Island?
A gynecologist, also referred to as a gynaecologist, is a medical doctor who has extensive training in women’s health, especially reproductive health. Building a relationship with a dedicated gynecologist is important for preventive care and early detection of chronic diseases.
Your dedicated gynecologist (gyn) is also your go-to practitioner in NYC, Queens, and Long Island for:
- Preserving your fertility
- Performing surgery on your pelvic organs
- Helping you get through menopause
- Starting birth control
- Family planning
Ideally, you should schedule an annual preventive care exam, known as a well-woman exam. If you have chronic conditions, like polyps or endometriosis, your gynecologist may want to see you more regularly.
When Should I See a Gynecologist (GYN)?
There may be times outside of your annual well-woman exam when you need to see one of our gynecologists.
The compassionate team of practitioners at Garden OB/GYN in NYC, Queens, and Long Island want you to schedule an evaluation if you:
- Experience pelvic pain
- Have sexual dysfunction
- Are planning to get pregnant
- Want to start or change birth control
- Experience burning or pain while urinating
- Have abnormal bleeding or heavy periods
- Are having symptoms of an STD, including sores
You should also schedule an evaluation at Garden OB/GYN in NYC, Queens, and Long Island if you’re beginning to experience menopause-related symptoms, such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness.
How Do I Prepare for a Gynecology Exam In NYC, Queens, and Long Island?
There are a few things you can do to prepare for your gynecology exam at Garden OB/GYN, just to ensure you get the most out of your visit and to help your doctor better understand your health.
It’s helpful to:

If you’re due for a Pap smear, try to schedule your appointment in NYC, Queens, and Long Island on a day when you’re not on your period because menstrual flow could affect your results. Or if you need a blood draw, you might need to fast for several hours beforehand, but you can ask the caring team at Garden OB/GYN in NYC, Queens, and Long Island ahead of time if this applies to you.
