A member asked:
If my dr is a male & his assistant is a male will a female assistant come in the room while dr does a pap smear? or his male assistant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Another female: Male physicians or midlevels should not be performing pelvic exams without a female assistant in the room. If that does not happen, you should decline the exam and speak with their center's manager.
