Female Gynecologist in Chicago IL

The first stop for many patients looking for a new doctor is their health insurance provider. By looking at your specific plan coverage on your insurance provider’s website, you can often narrow your search to gynecologists who are covered by your health plan. Many women will also ask friends or relatives for provider recommendations or check online review websites to find a gynecologist who offers exceptional bedside manners or other factors that are important to them. At Dr. Michelle Trandai, MD, OBGYN, we also understand that many women are most comfortable with a female gynecologist or OBGYN, so we have a female-centric staff that can offer the care you need in a comfortable and confidential space.

Because it is a preventative measure to protect your health, your annual well-woman exam is covered 100% by insurance. That means you will have no out-of-pocket expense for this vital appointment if you choose an in-network gynecology provider. However, other appointments with your gynecologist for specific issues or specialized follow-up care may not be covered by your provider. The best way to determine whether an upcoming appointment will be covered by your insurance is to contact your insurance company and ask specifically. Your gynecologist may also be able to tell you when scheduling follow-up appointments whether you can expect to pay out-of-pocket for the specific treatments or procedures you will be undergoing.

For many women, the best place to begin seeking a gynecologist or OBGYN you can trust is to ask friends or family for recommendations. You can also speak with a trusted primary care physician about doctors they have worked with and would recommend. However, it is important to remember that your gynecologist or OBGYN should be an expert with whom you feel comfortable discussing difficult topics. The doctor your mother thinks is a perfect fit may not be right for you, and that is okay. The relationship you have with your gynecologist or OBGYN will be one of the most important healthcare resources you ever have, so taking the time to find the perfect provider for you is essential.

Most women visit their gynecologist once a year for an annual well-woman exam. This visit focuses on evaluating your overall reproductive health through several key steps. Following an open discussion about your medical history and health goals, Dr. Michelle Trandai, MD will perform a clinical breast exam to check for lumps or unusual tissue changes. She will then perform a bimanual and speculum exam to assess your pelvic organs. For women starting at age 21, cervical cancer screenings (Pap smears) are performed periodically based on clinical guidelines to test for abnormal cells and ensure long-term wellness.
