Pediatric Gynecology

FAQs

You can make an appointment by calling our Call Center at 513-636-9400. Some insurance companies may require a referral to a specialist from your primary care physician. It is your responsibility to arrange the referral prior to your child's appointment. After normal business hours, you may request an appointment by emailing gynecology@cchmc.org .

If you think that your child will need surgery or your primary care doctor has referred your daughter to Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology for surgery, call our Call Center to schedule a preoperative evaluation appointment with one of our gynecologists. You can reach the Call Center by calling 513-636-9400.

Before a surgery is scheduled, a gynecologist must see and evaluate your daughter to determine whether surgery is appropriate and what would be the best procedure for your daughter.

Once the gynecologist has evaluated your daughter, she will explain the surgical procedure and the risks and benefits of surgery.

If you decide to proceed with the surgery, the gynecology surgery scheduler will arrange a future surgery time with you. Surgery is not usually scheduled the same day as the first doctor's appointment.

Once you have been given a surgery date, you may call our team if you have any questions or if you need you need to change the date. Our scheduler will give you a packet of information with phone numbers to reach the scheduling office directly.
