Review for Summer Gilmer, MD

Gynecological Problem Visit

The office staff and the ultrasound tech were great. I was disappointed that my doctor believes that severe pain is "just what your normal cycle is like" and then, without any further discussion, inquiry, or education, told me the medication I could take that might mask the symptoms. I don't expect my doctor to perform a miracle, but I expect her to have and share some basic understanding of what is happening to cause my severe pain. I didn't receive information about what my diagnosis was or education on the possible causes or biological processes at play. I spent a few hours researching myself and now I understand that I have primary dysmenorrhea, I learned the most current understanding of what causes it, and some ways to support healing from this really awful pain. I feel sad thinking that other women with less education, self efficacy, or access to resources might believe that severe pain is normal.

Dr Gilmer and her nurse, Anna, are kind and compassionate. They both asked about my medical needs but then went beyond that wanting to know about my overall situation after the natural disaster we experienced a few months ago. I feel very fortunate to have a physician that genuinely cares.
