Questions about Gyno visits. Help would be appreciated!?

Here's my story: I'm 16 years old, I'm not sexually active (in fact, I'm a virgin), and I'm kind of scared about going to the gyno. I'm really not sure what's in store and I've got a fear of being exposed... Haha. I know it's silly, but I can't help it. I would definitely have to go to a female doctor, but even then I'm not sure if I could handle it... but my questions basically are:

1. What is the basic rundown of a gyno visit? What goes on?
2. When should I make my first visit?
3. What are some tips to help me relax a bit?

I'd appreciate any help you could give... please and thank you! =)

First of all, they are going to want to know your medical history, your family history and your sexual history. You will fill out a form while you are waiting to be called back to an exam room. A nurse or Physician's aid will take your weight, height and blood pressure. Next they will ask you to remove your clothes and put a gown on, they will also give you a blanket to lay across your lap while you wait for the doctor. (you will undress in private)
The doctor will come in ask you a few questions, verifying your medical and sexual history. You probably will have an awkward breast exam. Then you will have a pelvic exam (awkward too). The doc will put a lubricant on your vagina and insert a speculum. The speculum holds you open so that the doctor can look and perform the medical exam. She will take a small tool and scrape tiny cells off of the cervix and send them to a lab. Most people say this does not hurt, but some say it hurts a tiny bit. The cells are sent off to a lab to be checked for cancerous growth. The physical exam will pretty much end right there. The end of your exam is a good time to ask any questions you may have about yourself, your periods, birth control or any other concern you may have. If you have any moderate to severe cramping or moodiness with your menses, this doctor may be able to help you find ways to ease any symptoms you may experience. Keep in mind that they are professionals and they are there to help you. It is a little awkward but very important for your long term health!!
I hope this helps!!
