Appointment Review

[amarceau 0]

Hi All,

Just wanted to give a review/update on my Dr's Appointment this morning. Let me start off by saying WHAT A GREAT DR'S OFFICE !!

Here's what I was told on the phone to bring with me by the receptionist (who was VERY friendly)

- I didn't need the Interview Letter - I just needed something from the NVC showing my Case # on it

- 2 Passport Photo's - US or Canada size - Didn't matter

- Proof of Immunization Shots

- Passport

- $225.00 Cash or Money Order (No Credit Cards Accepted)

My Appoint was @ 11:00.

I arrived at Dr's office at around 10:40. Receptionist took my letter from NVC showing my Case #, my passport & my passport photo's & I paid the $225.00.

2 minutes later, she handed me a sheet of paper with one of my pictures on it and said to go downstairs to get my X-Ray done.

Went downstairs, waiting about 5 minutes, was called in and told to disrobe from waist up. Got X-Ray done. Was told to come back anytime after 12:00 noon to pick it up. (was approx 10:55 by that time)

Went back upstairs. Waited another 5 minutes, then brought into exam room.

- Had to sign about 3-4 different pieces of paper

- Had to write my name and address on the envelope that would be returned to me

- Told to disrobe "completely" and told to cover myself with the paper sheet. (yes, everything off!!!)

- All this was done very pleasantly.

Dr. Laity came in about 2-3 minutes later:

- He asked me all the normal questions about my past health history... heart desease, liver desease, etc....

- He then told me he would need to give me 2 shots (can't remember what they were for) since I had no records of my shots

- He then did the exam, normal stuff, listened to heart, had me breath in 2-3 times. Felt my chest area, felt my stomache and that was about it.

- He took 2 vials of blood from me

- He gave me my two shots

And that was that !!!

I got dressed, went out to the reception area. I was told my results would be mailed to me by Friday (I didn't do the Fed-Ex Option for extra $20.00) Receptionist told me when she mailed out the results, she would hand write a little note to tell if everything was ok or not.. (hopefully all is OK !!!). She advised once I received the results, NOT to open the envelope, that it needed to be given to embassy sealed. Gotcha !!

Went back downstairs, had a coffee and a bagle at the little cafe since it was only 11:30. At 12:00 I went to X-Ray, picked up my chest X-Ray and left.

All in all, very pleasant experience. Dr. Laity was VERY nice. He shook my hand and introducted himself when he came in. He explained everything he was doing. He shook my hand when he left and wished me all the best !!

I would highly recommend London to anyone out there.

Just wanted to share my experience... Cheers everyone !!!

My husband went to Dr. Laity too, and he said the same thing. Nice guy, quick, ez.

Isn't the receptionist such a doll?! She was the sweetest woman I've come across in some time.

Her note telling me the results of my tests was super cute, too, and very personalized. It was nice to see that she remembered what we'd chatted about before I left the office.

Just out of curiosity, did you get the pubic bone check? I ask because this was brought up in my review thread. It was so fast and non-invasive if I wasn't ticklish in my lower abdomen area I probably wouldn't have noticed.

Ya, I had the pubic bone check too... Your right thought... wasn't uncomfortable at all...
