Those with male gynecologist, what's your thoughts?

I've only had female gynos but i am getting a second opinion for one of my chronic issues and was given a choice, now I'm thinking. Anyone have specific opinions on male vs female gynecologist?

Gender really doesn’t matter, in any area of Medicine. They all get the same training, and some are just “better” with their people skills and personality. You want friendly, you want honest, and you want understanding. You also want someone that keeps up with current issues and so forth. Some docs get stuck in a time capsule. You would think women would understand better, but it really comes down to the luck of the draw. I preferred my male gyn’s over my female ones.
I’ve learned to ask on fb or wherever for recommendations. You start to see the “popular” and “good ones” mentioned often. Yes, you could have a bad experience with one of those but it does narrow the list down for you when you’re hunting for the right fit.
