Rate My Gynecologist?

I’ve read a couple of posts here about unfortunate experiences with gynecologists, making me all the more wary as I have to find one on my own for the first time.

This is my 5th year living in NYC, but four of those were during college, when I just went home to my gynecologist.  Finally got a real job (yay!) complete with health care (although really shitty birth control coverage, a whole other story).  So, I’m faced with the daunting task of picking a gynecologist here in the city.  A search limiting by zip code and looking for a female doctor still leaves me with an overwhelming list to go through…

Any suggestions on how to find a gynecologist (in general) or specific suggestions (in NYC)?  I wish there was something akin to "Rate My Professors" out there – if there’s anything you want to hear from other people on before selecting, its your gynecologist!!
