This woman was absolutely awful. It was my first time doing any kind of physical exam, and she berated me throughout the entire procedure, which only made me more uncomfortable and upset. I ended up bawling, not from the exam itself, but because she made me feel like I was stupid because I was too nervous to complete the exam. She actually said, quote unquote "I don't know why you're making this so difficult, no one's ever complained or had problems before."
She ended up referring me to another doctor because she said 'I made the whole procedure miserable for me AND her.' I left the office crying both times I went to see her, and the second time she threw a hissy fit so loud in her office that the whole staff had overheard. I was so mortified I canceled all appointments in that facility.
I'm now absolutely terrified over my yearly exams that I'm afraid to go to any doctor. I felt like I was being judged instead of treated, and she was so cruel to me that I felt like there was something wrong with me just because I had so much trouble during my exam.
This woman made me feel embarrassed, ashamed, humiliated, stupid and worthless. No one should have to feel like that, and I hope this helps other young women steer clear of her. read more
