While the nursing staff was wonderful, Dr. Mahon is only pleasant so long as you don't question her methods. According to her preventative medicine is only valid if you pay a licensed professional (IE HER) to care for you, so don't bother with those monthly breast exams ladies! You'll need Dr. Mahon to do an annual exam because "YOU'RE NOT A DOCTOR" Nevermind "recommendations" regarding your health. All recommendations equal "requirements" in the eyes of Dr. Mahon.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a pelvic exam and/or PAP exam for oral contraceptives gets a Category C. That is "does not contribute substantially to the safe and effective use of the contraceptive method." However, Dr. Mahon believes that a woman doesn't have the right to dicate her personal health and decide for herself whether or not an exam is to her benefit. She will outright refuse to perscribe birthcontrol without a PAP and Pelvic, and she will dimiss any argument you may have on the matter because "YOU'RE NOT A DOCTOR"
She's as pretentious as they come. Don't be fooled by her friendly demeaner. She insisted that she have a baseline for my health through these exams before I could get my persciption, and yet she wrote the perscription immediately following the exam when I wouldn't see the results for another week! This simply proves what a coercion tactic this is, and I find it completely unethical that she would enforce what is essentially a medical rape.
The worst part is that when I blatantly stated that I needed to maintain a sense of control over my health and my situation, she told me that I needed to "let go of control" and did everything in her power to make me feel inferior to her during the exam. She did not listen to me. She made me feel belittled and judged, and she spoke to me as though I were an ignorant child rather than a woman taking responsibility for my reproductive and sexual health. read more
