GoogleI had an IUD inserted for the first time almost a week ago and feel compelled to write about my experience at this clinic. I was quite nervous about the procedure as I had heard many horror stories about IUD insertion, not just pertaining to pain but also to the doctor's level of professionalism. I first had a phone call consultation with Dr. Yurkowski, who did a great job answering any questions I had. Upon getting to the clinic on the day of insertion, the staff member I initially spoke with was very friendly. They then had me wait in a waiting room for Dr. McGruthers. All I have to say is that Dr. McGruthers is the real deal. She was very friendly, didn't make me feel rushed as I asked questions about the procedure itself and the aftercare, and was very realistic when it came to what I might experience - she said that what patients feel during insertion is variable and this kept my expectations in check. During the insertion itself she informed me of what she was doing every step of the way. For anyone wondering, yes, it was pretty painful, but over very quickly (I have definitely felt worse pain in my life!). One of the reasons I chose this clinic was because I wanted a doctor who had done this many times before. Of course there can always be complications with any medical procedure but thankfully I did not experience any and the process was very quick for me, and I have to say that Dr. McGruthers' skill and experience certainly contributed to this. I feel very blessed to have been assigned Dr. McGruthers as my physician for insertion and look forward to seeing her for my follow up appointment. Thank you for the great experience!
