Have you been to the gynecologist yet? Dr. Heather Irobunda is an obstetrician gynecologist based out of Queens, New York, and she has all the information you could hope for ahead of your first visit–and then some. Her time spent as an active duty OBGYN has set her on a mission to transform doctor-patient relationships, as she has witnessed a major gap in access to reliable information. On top of that, she knows it’s hard to feel comfortable with your healthcare provider–especially for women of color. So she unpacks it all for us today, from first periods to IUD insertion and of course, your first trip to the gynecologist, so you can feel empowered when seeking medical care.
