I had an appointment at 11:40. I checked in 5 minutes late because I got lost. When I got there, there was only one other patient. I waited for over 2 hrs to be seen. Everyone in the downstairs clinic was so so so very rude. They tried multiple times to get out of seeing me. When the nurse practitioner came in, she was nothing short of horrible to me. She treated me absolutely awful. She spoke to me as though I was not even human. I specifically made the appointment to get a pap because I have been having symptoms and a family history of cervical cancer. This nurse practitioner acted like my fears were stupid. She made me feel like I was a complete waste of her time. She also, tried over and over to not give me a pap. She told me if my results came back abnormal there was no rush to do anything. I'm not kidding, you read that correctly. She actually told me that if my pap results came back abnormal that it was no big deal and I didn't have to rush to seek further treatment! When I told her my mother and aunt both had cervical cancer, she said cervical cancer isn't hereditary and that it doesn't matter that they had cervical cancer, it has nothing to do with me. Even though I am having many of the same symptoms they had before they had to have radical hysterectomys. I could not for the life of me, believe what was coming out of her mouth. I called my primary doctors office (who doesn't do paps which is why I went here) and spoke with the nurse and then my doctor. My doctor was absolutely appalled by what she had said.

I paid about 150 dollars for a pap smear. I was treated awful by the downstairs staff. From the receptionist to the nurse practitioner. The only person who was nice was the medical assistant. Seriously considering reporting that nurse practitioner. I'm awaiting my results still. I was told I would have them in a week.
