Patient Modesty Friendly Doctors
We have provided an online directory of patient-modesty-friendly doctors who have honored patients’ wishes in various ways, including:
1.) Same-sex medical team: For example,
no female nurses assisting with men’s intimate urological procedures.
2.) No sedation or use of local or regional anesthesia: This
allows patients to remain awake during procedures. Awake patients are better
able to speak up for themselves and advocate for their modesty preferences.
3.) Allowing a spouse or personal advocate not employed by the medical facility to be present during surgery.
Please keep the following in mind: We cannot guarantee that the information in this directory is current, as staffing, policies, and practices can change without our knowledge. Many doctors, particularly urologists, may have female nurses assisting with intimate procedures. Before scheduling, clearly explain to your doctor and office manager that you will not accept opposite-sex nurses or assistants for your procedure. Always put your wishes in writing as well.
If you find outdated information or would like us to add a doctor who has honored your wishes for modesty but is not yet listed in our directory, or fill out the form to submit a doctor for inclusion.
