Your doctor is not your judge, and I doubt that he or she will say much beyond a mild chiding as to the importance of the visits. I am glad that you have decided to make the appointment, and you are to be commended for confronting something that you are afraid of, but needed to be done. You would be surprised how many 27 year old first timers I see.
