| - I thought that I was going to be in an actual ER but that was not the case. It's located on the fourth floor *IN* a hospital.
Once I got into the waiting room, there was only one other woman there and she was finishing filling out her paperwork. When I approached the counter, the young lady working there was very soft-spoken and helped me ease through the paperwork which was not really all that much to begin with. She answered questions about my insurance that I had which was very helpful.
I had to wait maybe 5 to 10 minutes before being taken back, and when I got in there the young woman took my blood pressure and gave me a very strange paper outfit to wear.
This was my first exam of this kind ever, so it was a little strange for me and I wasn't sure what to expect. It took quite a bit for the doctor to finally see me, but when he did he was very nice and smiling and explained anything that I had to ask about very well and made me feel comfortable. He let me know whenever he was going to do the exam and he let me know whenever he was going to insert the speculum, so that I wasn't surprised by it.
Afterwards, he answered any questions I had such as "what is endometriosis?" (just because I wanted to hear what a doctor said), and other questions pertaining to my body in particular. He said that everything seemed to be fine and let me know that I could do a breast exam by myself (which is common knowledge but it was nice of him to inform me of that anyway, since I have never done it before, and he showed me how to do it).
The exam itself was very uncomfortable, but not because of the doctor, just because how many of you honestly want people poking around in your business down there? Especially with metal tools? Not me, but again, it wasn't the Docs fault. Just the experience of being a woman.
Would go back here again, it is nice, clean, and everyone was informative and helpful.
