A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most of us dont bite: Fear and anxiety about seeing a doc is not uncommon really, so you are certainly not alone. Relax and imagine a pleasant interaction and channel that anxiety into asking around and finding which docs in yoru community have a warm and pleasant manner. Sometimes visiting a doctors website and seeing their face or smile even helps. When u go, tell the doc u r nervous - they will help reassure you.
