“Dr. Alexander was very respectful and non-judgemental when a friend and I went to her to ask about IUDs and subsequently had them inserted. She was not fazed by our 'unmarried' status and asked relevant questions about our sexual activity, accepting the answers without censure. She was a comforting, positive and simultaneously no-nonsense presence both during the procedure and during a subsequent check-up. She explained the procedure and the benefits of the hormonal IUD, without pushing us to take it - as we had previously decided on the copper IUD based on internet research. She was respectful of our choice, and her assurance made us rethink our decision and trust her judgement. The other doctors in the clinic are slightly judgemental and one nurse proceeded to give us a lot of advice about 'settling-down' after taking a look at our files and seeing that we were 'unmarried' and had come in for a procedure that clearly indicated we were sexually active. However she was not overtly offensive, and given her life experience we could see where the lecture came from. She was also unintentionally racist to my friend - though again, in a well-intentioned way. Do call before you go in and ask specifically if Dr. Alexander will be available and if you can see her, for an unambiguously positive experience. Otherwise you are likely to encounter the other doctors - who try but don't quite manage to mask their discomfort with women's sexual autonomy - and well-intentioned moralistic nurses like the one we met.”
