      Dr. Harlan has terrible bedside manner and did not explain to me what she was going to do. She then acted like I inconvenienced her when I chose not to have a cervix exam. This was my first gynecology experience and a compassionate doctor would have been welcome. I did not schedule my original appointment with this doctor. My original appointment was cancelled by this office and rescheduled with this doctor.

      I had some problems with medical transportation and try to acknowledge that I may be late due to the issues with the medical transportation company and I tried to explain this to the provider but she was very curt. No to mention upon the medical insurance supervisor tried calling to reach out to the provider and could not get through to her office after waiting on hold for 7 minutes. There was also issues with my prescription to which I had to return back to the office twice I should have left at 3:00 but I didn't leave until the offices were almost closed. At one point the reception is forgot that I was sitting there waiting on her to let the medical assistant know that I was having trouble with my prescription. The provider I had I experienced her bad attitude years ago and it has not changed.

It was demoralizing and felt shameful and embarrassing to sit bare naked with a thin paper sheet that didn't really cover all the parts.

      I had a very negative experience at this visit. I scheduled an appointment because I had a serious health concern. While there, I was offered an annual exam and Pap smear since I was already there, which I agreed to. When the doctor came in, she performed the Pap smear and annual exam in about 5 minutes and then started walking out of the room, without addressing my original concern for being there. When I stopped her, she said that I should have told her that I needed her to check that. I had already extensively discussed the issue with the medical assistant and it was the reason for my visit so I felt frustrated that I had to force her to address the issue. She spent another couple of minutes examining it, said some words describing what she thought was wrong that I didn't understand, without explaining anything, said she would refer me to a general surgeon and left. She explained nothing about what was going on with me and didn't bother to ask if I had any questions. I left the office feeling scared and knowing nothing more than when I went in. I don't understand what the doctor thinks is going on with me. She didn't offer or suggest any additional testing. She didn't offer an explanation or even pause to allow me to ask. And now I am left not knowing anything and trying to figure out my next steps. I don't feel I received an accurate or thorough evaluation. I don't trust what the doctor said. And I don't feel comfortable making any medical decisions based on my interaction with her.
