Most of what Dr. Jen does is talk to you about what has been happening in your body. There's a lot of documentation which needs to occur and she does a lot of typing while she's listening to your history.
She also loves to teach you how to take care of your body, help you to understand why things may have gone awry and discuss options for what would work best to get you feeling better.
The physical exam is essential so she can use her senses to find the most common signs which can point to what is happening inside your body. It's generally a standard physical exam, but she is also capable of performing gynecologic examinations. If weight needs to be measured (rare), she does have a scale that accommodates up to 700 lbs. And she has a variety of blood pressure cuffs to accommodate almost any arm or wrist shape or size.
