Don't actualy know- I was sent to a radiologist to be Dx- for a hystosalpinogram- because my OB's office couldn't see me for over a month-(and I was hysterical in the office by this point!) I'm having a follow up HSG tomorrow- don't know whether I'll see Dr Palter or not- I'll let you know!

Hi Cheryl,

Some drs. are there and some are not. Here in CA it seems quite

typical to be sent to a radiology clinic for the HSG. This usually

means that your regular OB/RE is not present. But the radiologist

sends a report and the films to the OB or RE afterwards.

My RE tried to send me to a radiology clinic for my HSG, but I asked

my OB/GYN to do it instead. My OB/GYN is a very kind and gentle

doctor and I knew I would feel better with him than with some

radiologist I'd never seen before. So, my OB/GYN was there but my RE

was not.

When I saw Dr. Olive (for surgery consult), I asked him if he did his

own HSGs or not. He said he likes to do his own and would do mine if

I requested. However, he has found that the radiologists in CA and TX

(as opposed to the other places he has practiced: CT, AR, NC)

consider the HSG to be their 'territory' and frown on having the

OB/RE attend the HSG. Dr. Olive also mentioned that one of the

reasons he likes to be there (besides comfort of the patient) is that

you can tell more from watching while the cavity fills rather than

just looking at the xray film later.
