The provider asked several questions about my sexual health that I felt were not relevant to the visit. Unprepared for these questions, I refrained from asking her to clarify their purpose. Instead, I focused on the medical concerns that brought me in, hoping to steer the conversation back to my primary reason for the appointment. However, I couldn't shake the feeling that addressing my sexual health was somehow important for my overall well-being.

This was my first appointment with Dr. Girard. She had taken the time to review my chart and medical history. She understood why I was sensitive and following up on the issues that I was there for. She had printed reading material for me and spent a considerable amount of time explaining what she had researched and her opinion on what we should do. Very impressed with the personalized evaluation of my circumstances ahead of time so that the time together was very productive. The succeeded in my expectations and I would highly recommend Dr. Girard to others.
