      <![CDATA[I have never had a bad experience with Dr. Leslie Miller. Infact, she is the only gyno who figured out why I was bleeding every day for years. Group Health was too retarded to figure out my problem and has old doctors with no new methods (I highly disregard Miriam Dick). Dr. Miller put me on Norethindrone which supresses the menstrual flow. She saved my life. I was going to bleed to death, having anemia and severe dizziness, not being able to exercise, have sex, or even sit in a coffee shop for an hour without going through a tampon and two pads. So, I'm sorry the last poster had a bad experience. But I highly recommend this savior.

      <![CDATA[I had an extremely bad experience with Dr. Leslie Miller.  She is very unprofessional and I also think that her office is not sanitary at all.  I should have just left when I noticed the bloody mess left in the room from the person before.  Dr. Miller made me feel bad about myself as well, then lied about what she told me in a previous conversation and got extremely defensive when I confronted her on that.  She also left confidential information on a message machine when asked not to.  She is a patients nightmare of a bad doctor. Take care of your body ladies and DO NOT LET DR. LESLIE MILLER NEAR YOU!

She was the first doctor to anticipate my desire to get OFF medication rather than add more.

      <![CDATA[I TOTALLY agree with #1.  Dr. Dawn Scheve at Seattle Women's Clinic is wonderful, and her nurse Beth is great too.  They rocked at helping me get the HPV vaccine even though I was 27 (instead of the 9-26 yr old recommendation).  She meets you the first time with your clothes ON and speaks with you for awhile as a person. Then you change and do the doctor thing. They're great!!

They work with your insurance or lack thereof, they do Take Charge, they are attentive and friendly and can usually make room for you when you need it.  They are the best.  Susannah Hermann is the Nurse Practitioner there, and I absolutely want to hug her after each visit.  Go!

      <![CDATA[@20 is right.  If you're looking to consolidate, just have your GP do a pap during an annual physical.  It also has the added benefit of motivating yourself to go in for a physical.  Though, some women who are planning to get pregnant like to start going to an OB-gyn for awhile first to better get to know them (and so they'll accept them as OB patients when the time comes).  And, if you have special lady problems, that approach probably won't work for you.
