Yes, sometimes it can be such as if someone is going for help with back pain. It can be easier to find the areas of pain by having the gown on than thru regular clothes.
But each Pain Management doctor is different as well. When I went to a Pain Management doctor for the very first time I had to put on a gown to make it easier for the doctor to examine my shoulder to find out where I was hurting.
With my second time to a Pain Management doctor (the doctor I have now) I didn't get undressed for the first visit to evaluate the problem I went to her for.
She just asked me some questions about the pain and we talked a bit more and then started to come up with a treatment plan.
dammit I knew I should've been a doctor

If the doctor made you feel that uncomfortable,go to another pain management doctor.Also start doing the buddy system where you do not see any doctor without a friend,boyfriend,mom,or just someone you feel comfortable to take with you in the room at the doctor's office.If you feel in anyway that doctor got off sexually turn him in.In the phone book under government you can make a complaint at what he had you do.I see a pain manag.Dr.every month and have since 1998.I have never had a Dr. have me do something like that and i have had 6 surgeries on my neck and lower back. be careful. lots of prayers for you.
