You aren't alone!: Many people are afraid to see the doctor. Some people are so afraid that they delay important diagnoses - and that can be a real problem. You might have your partner or a trusted friend go with you. Get a recommendation about an especially kind doctor from someone you trust. It is perfectly ok to tell the doctor that you are nervous - that way, the doctor can be especially conscious of your fear.

See below: Outside of the doctors office, try to figure out why you seem to panic there. Try to determine if there is something that you are afraid of by going. Did you have a bad experience in the past? Once you determine why you panic, it may be easier to deal with in future visits.
