Perfect! 👍
Thanks!

Grace Rogers said:The exam covers everything: first, they chat with you (asking about what birth control you're on, if you have any specific concerns, issues, or anything else)...
Then comes the ultrasound for your ovaries, uterus, and everything else down there, plus a breast ultrasound and a Pap smear (you'll get those results in about ten days). If you're looking to start a pill, they'll refer you back to your doctor for blood work—basically liver function tests and probably hormone levels—just to figure out which one fits you best.
Normally, you should go in once a year, maybe every two years at most. It really depends on your health history; I'm fine, so I just go every two years. Good luck, hope everything turns out okay.🙂

Yeah, this sounds incredibly thorough. Ultrasound, Pap smear... Great!
When I remember my ex-gynecologist, she’d barely glance at me, snap at me whenever I dared to ask a question, and then just kick me out!
🤣 Everything is fine with me, but it's been way too long since my last checkup, so I definitely need to get this full panel done..

Thanks!

Grace Rogers said:I’d highly recommend Dr. Olujić over at Mayo Clinic. After some pretty terrible experiences elsewhere, she was a total lifesaver..🙂
A full exam including a Pap smear and ultrasound is $150, which I know sounds steep, but it's worth every penny!😉

Everyone seems to rave about Dr. Oluic, so that's probably where I'll end up...
By the way, what actually goes into a full gynecological exam, and how often am I supposed to be getting one done?

Kimberly Moore52 said:Over at Medica, Dr. Oluić is great, but obviously, you're paying top dollar for that expertise. The catch? You'll be waiting forever. I've also heard things about Dr. Brnčić Fischer. I haven't seen her personally yet, but I have an appointment early next month, so I'll update everyone then. From what I gather, she's excellent, has a lovely office, her own ultrasound machine, and is actually personable. However, trying to book an appointment was a nightmare. When I finally got through, the nurse was incredibly cold—honestly, she was borderline rude. They scheduled me for the 15th, which is a Sunday, so I had to call right back to fix their mistake...

Let us know how it goes!!! 🙂

Yeah, I’ve heard about Dr. Oluić over at Medica—people say she’s top-tier...
But honestly, I have no clue what they charge.

I’ve had some absolute horror stories with gynecologists working through socialized medicine.
That’s why I’m looking for a private specialist now—does anyone know someone who is actually, genuinely great?
I heard about one doctor over at Medica...

Has anyone here actually dealt with the dental and oral surgery clinic
run by Komadine and Volf over on the coast near San Diego? (feel free to shoot me a DM if you'd rather stay private)
😕

They’re fantastic. They have two guys and two women on staff. I see this one young woman there—if you want her name, shoot me a DM—and she is incredibly gentle and attentive. She’s meticulous about every little detail. My teeth look perfect thanks to her (I’ve spent about $1167 with her over the last year, but I really needed a total overhaul 😬).

She actually cares about the aesthetics too, so she does regular cleanings and scaling for free. Her fillings are so seamless you can’t even tell they’re there. Plus, she sends photos of the work so you actually know what’s going on with your teeth...
If you're terrified of pain, don't worry—the anesthesia is painless (and also free).
The office itself is great. There’s zero waiting time. They offer you coffee when you walk in, and they’ve got a huge TV and plenty of magazines to keep you busy...

They even have a specialist who focuses exclusively on root canals...
Let me know if you need anything else. Just PM me.

That sounds awesome. I'll send you a DM to get those details...

My apologies if there’s already a thread about this somewhere, but I couldn't find one...

So, I'm looking for a solid, high-quality private dentist in San Diego.
Who is hands down the best in the San Diego area?
I have several cavities, and honestly, a massive phobia of dentists—which is exactly why my teeth ended up in this disastrous state.
But enough is enough. I've finally decided to fix this mess. I want to commit to getting my smile back to a point where I can actually look presentable and laugh like a normal human being again...
Can anyone recommend someone who can actually handle all of this and get me right?!?!

Thanks....
