New Appointment FAQs

 

Q. What can I expect from the first visit?

 

A. First, Dr. Spitzer will review in detail the history of the symptoms and complaints that brought you to the office. He will then review with you, in detail, your past medical and surgical history, medications, allergies, family history, etc. as you completed on the new patient history form. He will then do a physical examination directed towards your complaints. This will likely include a colposcopy of the cervix, vagina and or vulva (depending on the complaint). If a biopsy is necessary it will be done. Smears and cultures of your vaginal discharge will be done if necessary.You will then get dressed and return to the consultation room where Dr. Spitzer will provide you with a thorough explanation of your condition and treatment plan and to answer all their questions.  No parts of the visit will be rushed, and you will not leave until all of your questions have been answered.
