I am a black female, age 46, in Savannah, Ga.  I have been to several gynecologists and just don't feel comfortable with them. I feel they don't respect or consider me as a patient as seriously or caringly as they do their white patients.
   Are there any black doctors, specifically female doctors, in the southeastern part of Georgia?  I have had no luck on the web locating a list of black doctors.
    I have a very large fibroid in my uterus. The last doctor that I went to says that it is the size of a 7 month pregnancy. I have had severe anemia in the past but didn't know that this was the possible cause until I started hunting around on the internet for information about my condition.
   Both of the white, male, gynecologists that I have visited recommended surgery. One even told me that I shouldn't even bother getting another opinion and recommended a radical hysterectomy with a very brief examination.  I went to a second doctor who recommended the same with the exception that he said that I could keep my ovaries.
   If you can give me any information about black physicians in this field, in my area, I would be tremendously grateful.
