Wonderful and caring doctor
Pam Schwedler, WHNP-BC
She came in after the assistant had left and basically asked me the same questions that I had just answered. I asked about estrogen and she told me that because I was beyond the 10 year mark of perimenopause, that the risks were too high. When I asked about the risks, she basically quoted Google, without providing any other alternatives/suggestions. When she’d my pelvic exam, she said, “Well it looks a lot better than it would if you weren’t using estrogen.” I will not be seen by her again.
