My recent OB-GYN visit was very disappointing and uncomfortable. From the moment the appointment started, the provider felt extremely unpersonal and unwelcoming. There was no effort to make me feel comfortable, reassured, or informed — especially considering this was my first Pap smear. Throughout the visit, he moved through everything very mechanically, as if he was just trying to get through the appointment. He didn’t walk me through the steps of the exam, didn’t explain what he was doing, and didn’t check in with me about pain or discomfort. The lack of sensitivity and communication made the experience feel rushed, cold, and unnecessarily stressful. For such an intimate and vulnerable type of appointment, I expected a much higher level of professionalism, care, and bedside manner. Instead, I left feeling dismissed and uncared for. I hope this provider becomes more mindful of how important compassion and communication are in women’s health. following, I will be requesting a new gynecologist.

This office is wonderful, from the front desk staff, to the MAs and nurses, and my doctor, Dr. Knowlton. I am very grateful of everyone at my last visit, even though it was a chaotic and busy day for them; everyone remained very professional and happy through it all! I have recommended several of my coworkers, friends, and even family members due to the fantastic care I receive whenever I come to this office. Y’all keep doing what you’re doing! [...]
