ObGyn with knowledge of PCOS

July 2004

I am looking for a doctor in the Oakland/Berkeley (or even) San Francisco area who has knowledge of PCOS. Someone who has knowledge of alternative treatments is a +++ but not requirement because I know that is rare. Most doctors I have came across dont know about PCOS or simply dont care. Others, can only offer fertility services. Any information is appreciated!

I work at San Francisco General, and they have a special consult clinic for gyn-endocrine issues, which includes menopause and PCOS. I wonder if you could inquire of your gyn for MDs with this specialty. iris

A friend of mine had excellent results controlling PCOS naturally with the diet from The PCOS Diet Book by Colette Harris. She recommends steering away from any foods high on the glycemix index, eliminating white flour and using supplements like the Female Toner tea with nettles, red raspberry, etc. Also, speaking from personal experience, it seems like having a baby straightened out a lot of my PCOS issues - sort of a drastic, if natural, treatment!
