Vitals Names Heidi Wittenberg Top Patient-Rated OB/GYN in San Francisco Metropolitan Area
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LYNDHURST, NJ — From the first menstrual cycle to pregnancy and through menopause, women depend on the expertise of OB/GYNs to guide them through their different life stages.
In order to help women choose the right physician, Vitals has released the list of top patient-rated OB/GYNs in the San Francisco area.
The list was derived by analyzing thousands of positive ratings for physicians on Vitals.com, along with other quality measures. The ratings section of Vitals is accessed by more than 60 percent of site users who view a doctor profile, and more than 35,000 patients each month leave doctor reviews.
Experts advise women to begin regular appointments with a gynecologist as soon as they become sexually active, or after the age of 21, where they will receive annual Pap smears – an important cancer screening tool for women. According to the latest CDC data, more than 70,000 women are diagnosed with cancers affecting the female reproductive organs each year and more than 20,000 women die from such a disease.
In addition to screening for and treating gynecological cancers and other disorders, OB/GYNs also perform general pelvic and breast exams, prescribe birth control, assist in natural family planning and treat the symptoms of menopause. For pregnant women, OB/GYNs provide prenatal care and perform child delivery.
“Patient ratings are regarded as a critical part of the decision process when choosing a physician,” said Jeff Cutler, executive vice president of Vitals. “We have provided this area-specific list of top patient-rated OB/GYNs as an unbiased resource to help
women choose the right doctor to assist them in maintaining gynecological health.”
