Most women DREAD seeing their OB/GYN. It's not something we get excited about. Okay, maybe we get a pedicure and shave our legs, but that's standard for women whether we're visiting a doctor or finally meeting that creep online, Joe33Bos. We shave, we pedicure, we prep. But, it's not for them, it's a pride thing. Has to do with dirty underwear and that "car accident" your mom always warned you about. Anyway, we don't get excited about seeing an OB/GYN, and that's that. All the metal devices on that rolling table, shiny and ready to explore your inner sanctum... All the haughtiness and condescending questions from your Gynecologist, "why, when, how, you did WHAT with him WHERE?"... Let's get real, we need less steel - more feel. In other words, stop probing below the belt and start probing our minds - more feel - ask questions that could result in actually educating us. Oh, and please show some TLC when we answer. At the Evergreen Women's Health Care center, I feel I am on the right track. My favorite is actually a Nurse Practioner, Rebekkah Turner. She is very savvy, very sweet, and gets the exam over quicker than you can say, "That's so coooooold!". They also will hand out condoms (who knows, Joe33Bos could be a cutie), prescribe the RIGHT fit for birth control pills, patch, etc., AND they really listen to the ever-changing-ever-frustrating-ever-ohmigodding-stories
of your hormones and mood swings. I highly suggest
Evergreen in Nashua. Finally, an OB/GYN center that
makes such an uncomfortable office visit feel less clinical and more caring.
