Do you have a problem now that you have to go, or are you just feeling that it is time? I would ask a friend or someone if they have a Dr then I would look online about the Dr. and find out as much as you can about this Dr.or Dr's
Then I would just make a visit to the Dr's office..see what it looks like,( maybe take a good friend) maybe talk to a couple patients in the waiting room...Observe the staff..Are they friendly? Does the office have a "feel good' feeling...I think of positive Karma.....Maybe with a little luck you will be able to see the Dr. in passing....
I would do this with a couple Dr's you find until you feel comfortable..at least half way comfortable. Then if you feel you can make an appointment, call but also express your concern on the phone . Then for the appt. definately take someone with you for support!!!!
When you see the Dr. just be honest why you are afraid and explain. I have had some great Dr's in the past. I know you will find one that you feel safe with.
Thinking of you;
