In our discussion with dr Townsen, we determined I needed more specialized care than what he as an ob/gyn could provide. And knew exactly what to do and he made some calls and got me to the right place and was very helpful!

Couldn't tell me what was wrong with me, just came in and denied that I had endometriosis from tests that were done in March. Didnt send too interested in the symptoms I have, the pain I'm in, or anything related. Put me on estrogen pills without telling me the possible side effects, just that I WILL be taking these. Did not discuss any other treatment

Dr. Townsend was very kind, thoughtful and thorough. His nurse was wonderful and the assistant 3rd year student was the same. I offered for her to do the pap and to do her own checks so she could get as much hands on as possible.

Dismissed my concerns without even addressing them until I directly asked. just said your fine, let's get on with the pap smear which is not why i came in. only tested me after i still had concerns and then had other tests done that I was not aware of. never called me to go over my results. I only found out my results after calling twice before finally asking for the email to activate my mychart account.
