Finding a Gynecologist in Northern Taiwan: Appointment Inquiry - Obstetrics and Gynecology

Share to:

Could you please tell me which hospital in the northern region the doctor is seeing patients at?


Hello Doctor, I previously underwent laparoscopic surgery for a ruptured ovarian cyst at Min-Sheng Hospital in Taoyuan.
I would like to know if you have any clinics in the northern region, as your current location at Changhua Hospital is too far for me, living in Taoyuan County.
I look forward to your response.
Thank you!

Dr. Lin Wenbin reply Obstetrics and Gynecology


Dear LISA,
Hello.
Due to a job transfer, I have moved from Kinmen Hospital to Changhua Hospital.
It is currently uncertain if there will be any further transfers in the future.
At present, all outpatient services (including consultations at health centers in places like Shetou and Yuanlin) are limited to the Changhua area only.
However, there are still many excellent gynecologists in the Taoyuan area.
Alternatively, you can utilize the website of the Society of Minimally Invasive Gynecology to find specialists in this field (laparoscopy), and I hope you can find a physician you can trust.

As for any written questions that need answers, please feel free to raise them, and we can discuss them together.
I believe this will also be greatly beneficial for others with similar conditions.
Best regards,
Lin Wen-bin

- Follow-Up Care: After your appointment, ensure you have a clear understanding of any follow-up care or additional tests that may be required.

- Support and Resources: If you have concerns about your health or treatment options, don't hesitate to ask for resources or support groups that can provide additional information and emotional support.
