Please advise if it's normal for doctors to prefer you naked at all appointments no matter how simple?

I say "No": Even for something relatively challenging, the physical exam can done progressively so you never need to be bare-butt naked. It's normal to allow the patient to keep the genitalia and butt, and breasts for a woman, draped during most of the procedure. It's also very shabby to examine through clothing.
