I was recommended to this doctor by several people at my work, but would never go back. I have been on the same pill for several years, have extremely low bld pressure (90 over 60), and have maintained about the same weight for the last 5 years. Despite all of these factors this doctor will only write a perscription for the pill 6 months at a time, he make you return (and pay again!) to get weighed in and your bld pressure taken before he writes it for the next 6 months. I have never heard of doctors doing this before. I understand that it could be a safety precaution, but if he was concerned about safety, as a young single female, you would think that he would recommend all STD tests to me for safe measure (instead of just recommending Clymida - which can cause you to be sterile but no other health effects). As far as I am concerned this doctor is a crazy christain republican who is trying to influence his views over his patients by making it more expense and difficult to prevent pregnancy through use of the pill and only promoting STD tests that effect preganancy chances not the single women's overall health. He should have his lisence revoked for this treatment! I should not get the appropriate treatment I deserve because I am a single female who is sexually active! I left feeling judged and would never return! I do not recommend!
