physicians were evaluated. While there was a difference between aggregate physicians at each location (P<.0001), there was no difference in patient satisfaction for individual physicians across location (P¼.6975). When subspecialists were aggregated, there was no difference seen between those practicing at hospital-based clinics (P¼.395) and rural locations (P¼.112). Urogynecologists were associated with higher patient satisfaction as compared to gynecologic oncologists (P¼.003), while no difference was found when compared to minimally invasive gynecologists or reproductive endocrinologists. Asian American physicians were correlated with lower patient satisfaction scores than their white colleagues (P¼.046), and no difference was seen when comparing African American and white physicians (P¼.558). Female physicians were associated with higher patient satisfaction scores than male colleagues (P¼.006). CONCLUSION: Practice type and location of individual subspecialty gynecologists does not have an impact on patient satisfaction scores though patient bias towards providers may exist towards non-White gynecologic specialists.
