As an educated and enlightened 36 year-old woman in a committed, monogamous relationship, I was shocked to be denied contraception simply because Dr. Savage felt that I have not been in my relationship long enough to commit to an IUD. I was disappointed that freedom of choice is nonexistent only to be replaced by conservative rhetoric that has no place in a medical office. Her unfriendly receptionist could barely be pulled away by the computer when I arrived to an empty waiting room to check-in at 10 am. However, the assistant who did my stats was friendly and present. In all, there is no way that I can recommend Dr. Lisa Savage to anyone. Moralistic judgmentalism has no place in the intimate and trust-building setting of a doctor's office.
