NO: Find a doctor you are comfortable with who will listen to you and understand your anxiety. It may take a little time, however when you find the one who you are comfortable with and listens to you everyone wins. When i alleviate a patients fears and anxiety it makes my day and theirs.

Agree w' Dr Karsant: No doctor should treat anyone like a joke. Before you choose a new doctor, interview a few and tell them that you suffer from anxiety. Ask them what they do to help clients who suffer from anxiety. Do they work with a psychiatrist? What medications do they recommend? Consider finding a psychologist as well to help you learn techniques to reduce your anxiety.
