I thought she was going to be an easy doctor to get along with. I called and got an appointment for the following day. In the waiting room, she was pleasant to a few of the patients waiting. When I got into the room, thats when it all changed. I was there for a general exam, my first one. I had no idea what to expect. She barely spoke to me when I got into the room. She actually walked in on me before I had completely gotten the hospital gown on. When I got on the table, she took me off gaurd. She didn't tell me what she was doing nor did she show me the tools she was using. This is procedure. There wasn't even another nurse in the room like there should have been. After I complained of the exam hurting (she shoved it inside me) thats when she told me to breathe. I felt violated. I also bled more than I should have after this exam. (my mother is a nurse and knows all this stuff)
When I asked her about birth control, she told me about a type and I had to keep prying in order for her to tell me anymore. She sugested Depo Provera and mentioned that the only side effect was weight gain. There are definetly more side effects than that including depression, lack of sex drive, headaches and nausea. I am disappointed that she strongly suggested this one because I did mention earlier I had problems with depression I think the only reason she wanted me to be on this one, was so I would pay an extra co-pay for the appointment I'd need to schedule for the shot.
I felt like walking money to her and I felt disrespected. I would never suggest her to anyone and I would strongly suggest that others looking for a gynecologist look somewhere else.
