Canal Women’s Clinic

Not a great place to go. Used to be a great gynecologist but not anymore. I had trouble breathing and I needed a xray done and they never sent me to get it. I ended up in the hospital and kept calling and calling so he can tell me whether or not to take those pills. His assistant kept saying he will call me back and he never did. He shows lack of interest.

I don’t do one star reviews very often, but… there are some things that when they are bad, they’re really, really bad. A gynecologist appointment is one of those things.
You don’t want the details so I’m just going to run through this quickly:
— I wasn’t seen until an hour and a half after my appointment.
— I was told to walk up to a window, where the woman behind it put a plastic cup on the ledge and AS A I REACHED FOR IT, grabbed my hand, turned it over and swabbed and jabbed my finger for the blood test. Unreal.
— Peed in the cup and then… more waiting.
— Finally the doctor came in… but he wasn’t the doctor. He was an intern? A med student? I didn’t care. Someone who knows more than I did was here to do my exam.
— He asked some routine «yes or no» questions. He did a pap smear test, which I had told him was the most important thing I needed, and then took his gloves off and said, «Okay, you can go.»
But WAIT, pre-​doc! I had other questions and things to discuss, things to check out! I’ve been here two hours at this point and I don’t want to waste the time I just lost without getting a thorough check-​up. He was gone. There was no point.
I didn’t even go back for my pap results. I’m going to find a real gyno and never go back to the Vagina DMV.

Really great place! Super friendly and knowledgeable. Sometimes busy and the wait may be long but never unreasonably so. This is the only review I’ve ever written if that says anything!
