Education

The relationship between a patient and her physician is at the very heart of healthcare. Women need to be able to trust their doctor to be neutral and to provide factual, unbiased information. Over the last several years and across the United States, we have seen numerous instances where political or personal agendas are getting in the way of the one-to-one relationship between a woman and her physician. Here in Texas, we continue to see pieces of legislation that bring a third party into the exam room, negatively impacting our critical relationship. Because honest, open communication is the foundation of our practices, we are speaking out and encouraging our patients to speak out, too.

Doctors are an important source for health care information — we work to keep it that way. Me & My OBG was created to provide useful, up to date health care information for women, physicians, and Texas policy makers. We raise awareness about the efforts to legislate health care decisions that should be left to the patient and her doctor.

More and more often, specific details about how medicine is practiced are being decided, not in the exam room or by doctors’ scientific research, but by politicians across the country.
