All sensitive visits require a chaperone and may not occur without one. Chaperones are an industry best practice and assist both patients and providers in completing visits in a consistent, safe, and respectful manner. Additionally, patients may always request a chaperone be present for any appointments at Yale Health. If you feel uneasy or you need more information about what will happen during your exam, please ask us. We are here to help you.
