| - Hands down the most awful, dehumanizing experience of my life & I have gotten my annual/pap smear visit done every year since I was 16.
I waited over a month after reading reviews here to get see for my annual obgyn visit having recently moved to Las Vegas. I was very hopeful that I'd found my new doctor. The check in/new patient paperwork process went smoothly and my appointment was even timely - I was undressed and on the examination bed at 2pm, as scheduled. I was extremely nervous, but doctor Montoya came highly recommended from all of these reviews so I believed that this would be a good experience so I tried to be patient. 25 minutes went by when his assistant finally came back in along with doctor Montoya. I have never waited so long in a sterile cold examination room for any other doctor and I was definitely getting anxious but I tried to not be too nervous.
The doctor comes in and greets me, asks me to lay back and does the breast exam. Then he asked me if I want any birth-control which I thought was odd because no questions were ever asked about my sexual history or medical history for that matter. I told him I had been on nuvaring before, to which he replied "great, I don't even have to explain how to use it then." I used to work in the medical field and really have never heard such a lazy weird thing come out of a doctor's mouth, especially on the 1st visit. I was incredulous at this point.
The doctor then does the pap smear, with no warning that anything is gonna be inserted inside of me at that point. Again, I know why Im there but have some bedside manner, hello! He takes the culture, and then puts his hands inside of me and says "oh yeah everything's there, it's good to go" and instructs me to go down the hallway to the lab to get my blood drawn. I could have broken-down in tears at that point, but I was in absolute disbelief and could not speak for fear of crying in front of the doctor and his unfazed medical assistant.
No questions were asked about my history or my needs during this visit. The doctor seemed to be in a weird mood and his assistant was no better and extremely unprofessional with her remarks the entire visit. Ugh.
I was also concerned that my doctor didn't even mention what the culture taken would be tested for. On every other annual visit that I've had, there was one culture taken for STDs and another taken for a cancer screening. The doctor mentioned neither while I was in the exam room.
After crying alone while getting dressed, I went to the lab room to have my blood taken. According to the lab technician doctor Montoya mostly deals with pregnancies and was in a very bad mood- how unlucky for me since I'd taken the off of work, planned a month in advance for this visit & used my annual visit up on this crappy, unprofessional doctor who also refused to order the tests for my pap smear culture for the testing I actually came for! I got gardasil vaccinations years ago, which puts me at very low risk for cancer - I needed the culture to test for the standard yeast /stds and hiv screening- he would've known this if he asked me any questions, but nope, I wasn't worth the energy apparently. Ridiculous.
Ladies- do not subject yourself to the torture of going here for an annual visit - this is already a difficult yearly situation for most women to deal with an office of rude human beings on top of it all!
Dr. Montoya's assistant was awful towards me as well...not helphful with any of my concerns and with a very amateur, unprofessional demeanor for a medical facility.
I was able to speak to the OB advisor (I cried again in her office) on staff as the manager was out of the office, who was very understanding and recommended much better doctors for my annual visit.
I'm beyond upset because now I'll have to pay for another exam since nothing I needed was done and my annual visit is used up now through my insurance and take another day off of work.
