“Not first time at this clinic an...”

Not first time at this clinic and my first time with this doctor. First rate all the way.

“I was scheduled with Dr. Weather...”

I was scheduled with Dr. Weatherford after receiving my pap smear results from my annual exam preformed by a different provider that is a NP. Dr. Weatherford and I had never met before this appointment. I found her bedside manner to be off-putting and felt both vulnerable and uncomfortable throughout the visit. I found her interactions with the nurse to be patronizing off and on throughout the appointment, which only added to my discomfort. If I need continued care under Dr. Weatherford (depending on the results of my colposcopy), I am hopeful that this was simply a one-off less than ideal encounter. I'd like to feel that my questions are welcomed, that my concerns are heard, and that I have not, in some way, been an inconvenience during my next appointment.

There was a nurse practitioner In training with the Dr and she shared In the exam. She was good and kind and Dr Weatherford was very patient with her.

“I've never felt more confident a...”

I've never felt more confident and comfortable with a gynecologist--her patience, knowledge, and experience are deeply appreciated as well as her skill at truly listening and providing feedback and advice.

I had a previous terrible IUD experience and Dr Weatherford not only eased my worries but also provided a drastically better insertion experience than I had before. I would definitely recommend her.
