My condition for seeing this doctor was not serious however I experienced a lot of pain. He examined me and that went well. The problem I had is that he sent one of his aids to provide me with information about my condition. He didn't bother to come back to ask if I had any questions. I thought his actions were thoughtless. I don't care what the situation is I am paying along with my insurance company for your undivided attention.
Awful. Left feeling ashamed. First a student comes in and asks personal and medical questions. No older than 25. Then, comes in with a doctor. Asked for you to pull down your pants. The doctor then props you up on a machine with students and nurse. Doesn't even ask if you're comfortable with who is in the room. Painful check. Then a rude nurse comes in to collect your signature to book the surgery. I tried to ask her a question and she just looked at me with a cold expression. No response. She then took me near the waiting area to wait for someone to book the appointment. I sat there feeling ashamed and embarrassed. Finally, when another man calls me ma'am to book the surgery, I said I wanted to think about it. And he said okay that's it you can leave. Awful experience. They will try to convince you to sign agreement for their research. Don't go here! They are looking for guinea pigs I ran outside the building fighting back my tears. Women, don't go here.
