Doctor directory

Find a PCOS-friendly doctor in the Philippines

The most common request from Filipinas with PCOS (now called PMOS) is simple: a doctor who will not shame them. Here is how to find one, and the community directory we are building.

Editorially reviewed on October 29, 2026. [TODO: medical reviewer] How we review

Quick answer

A PCOS-friendly doctor follows the 2023 International Guideline, explains options for your goal, orders the right tests (including a 75 g OGTT and lipids), and treats you with respect at any weight.

Our directory lists community-recommended OB-GYNs and endocrinologists by city, built from public listings and public threads, never as our endorsement. It is still growing. Meanwhile, you can book through a partner or use our checklist below.

Why a PCOS-friendly directory

Many threads on r/PCOSPhilippines are just one question: “recos for an OB or endo who won't judge me?” Filipinas report doctors who “mocked and made comments about my weight”, who said “forever na nandiyan yan”, or who only said “pills and lose weight”. One wrote that it felt like “parang ako pa may kasalanan na may PCOS ako.”

The 2023 International Guideline agrees this is a problem. It says weight stigma is common, its harms “should be recognized”, and clinicians should address their own weight bias (Rec 3.6.1, 3.6.2). Good care is not only about the right prescription. It is about being heard.

Directory by city

No community-recommended doctors listed yet.

We only add a doctor after checking a public listing and a public recommendation, so this list grows slowly on purpose. Know a PCOS-friendly OB-GYN, endocrinologist or dermatologist?

Suggest a doctor by email

Please do not send your own health details. We only need the doctor's name, clinic and a public link.

Browse by area. Each city page also lists lower-cost and government options we can source.

What to look for in a non-judgmental doctor

You can tell a lot from the first consult. Signs of PCOS-friendly, guideline-based care:

  • They ask about your goal. Regular periods, skin and hair, metabolic health, or pregnancy. Different goals have different first choices.
  • They order the metabolic tests. A 75 g OGTT (Rec 1.9.9) and a lipid profile regardless of age and weight (Rec 1.8.3), not just an ultrasound.
  • They talk about weight without shame, or not at all unless you want to. Lifestyle advice is for everyone, at any weight, and no single diet is best.
  • They explain options and trade-offs, including why a specific pill or medicine fits you, and what to do about side effects.
  • They ask how you are feeling. The guideline asks doctors to screen for depression, anxiety and eating disorders.
  • They plan follow-up. PCOS is long-term. A good doctor tells you when to come back and when to repeat tests.

Questions to ask at your first visit

  • Which of the three PCOS features do I have?
  • Do I need an ultrasound, or is an AMH test or no imaging enough?
  • Can we check a 75 g OGTT and a lipid profile?
  • What are my options for my main goal, and what does each cost per month?
  • When should I come back?

Our consult prep tool turns these into a printable sheet.

How we choose entries

  1. Public listings first. We confirm the doctor exists and practises where stated, using public sources such as hospital directories and booking platforms.
  2. Public community recommendations. We look for recommendations in public threads, such as r/PCOSPhilippines, and link the thread with its date.
  3. Clear labels. Every entry is labelled “Community-recommended” with the date and source thread. It is never our endorsement, and no doctor pays to be listed.
  4. No patient names. We never publish who recommended a doctor or any patient's details.
  5. Removal on request. Any doctor can ask to be removed by emailing corrections@pcosphilippines.com.

City pages are kept out of search results until they have enough verified entries to be genuinely useful.

The PCOS-friendly pledge

Clinics and doctors can opt in to a simple, public pledge. Signing it does not buy a listing; it is a statement of how you practise:

  • Weight-neutral care. No shaming, no blaming symptoms on weight alone, and lifestyle advice offered to everyone at any size, in line with Rec 3.6.1 and 3.6.2.
  • Guideline-based care. Diagnosis and treatment follow the 2023 International Evidence-based Guideline, including metabolic screening.
  • Shared decisions. Options are explained by goal, with costs, so patients can choose.
  • Whole-person care. Mood, eating and body image are part of the conversation.

Opt in to the pledge by email. We will show a pledge badge next to entries that have both signed and been community-recommended.

This guide is for information. Talk to a doctor before starting or changing any treatment.

Frequently asked questions

May OB ba na hindi judgmental sa timbang?

Yes, and you deserve one. The 2023 Guideline says weight stigma is common and harmful and asks doctors to recognise their own bias. Our directory lists community-recommended doctors as we verify them, and this page explains what to look for in the meantime.

OB-GYN or endocrinologist for PCOS?

Start with an OB-GYN for diagnosis, periods and fertility. See an endocrinologist if your OGTT, HbA1c or cholesterol are abnormal, or to discuss metabolic medicines.

Are the doctors on this page endorsed by you?

No. Entries are community-recommended, based on public listings and public threads, with the date and source shown. They are not our endorsement, and we do not take payment to be listed.

I'm a doctor listed here. How do I get removed?

Email corrections@pcosphilippines.com with your name and the page. We remove entries on request.

HMO-accredited OB for PCOS, saan makakahanap?

Your HMO's provider list is the most reliable source. Filter for OB-GYN at your nearest accredited hospital, then use the questions on this page to check if they are a good fit. We will add HMO filters as the directory grows.

Is it okay to change doctors?

Yes. If a doctor shames you, dismisses your symptoms, or will not explain your options, it is completely okay to get a second opinion.

Is PMOS the same as PCOS?

Yes. PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) is the new name for PCOS, announced in The Lancet on 12 May 2026. It is the same condition with the same diagnosis and the same treatments. Both names will be used until the 2028 International Guideline update.
