Are you going for a physical (in which case, you can probably leave most if not all your clothing on), or are you going for an annual check up and pap exam? If that's the case, they'll have you at least remove your bra (so they can do a breast exam) and have you strip from the waist down and give you a sheet or something to cover up with.

I normally take off everything except my panties and socks (my feet are cold) and they give you a paper gown to put on. My doctor doesn't do a physical without a nurse present so I'm never uncomfortable. Before the nurse leaves you in the room ask her what all to take off that will give you the exact answer that the doctor prefers.

For a normal physical at a doctor they just usually have you take off your shirt. You can often times keep your pants on because they dont usually check anything down there.

My doctor always request that his patients take evrything off except their underwear and then they give you a paper-like gown to put over. I didnt feel comfortable with that so i just kept my clothing on and they said it was ok.

No. I usually take off nothing unless the doctor asks me too. Most of the time they do not.

Usually you take off everything except your underwear and they give you a gown to cover up. If you feel embarrassed, ask if you can keep your clothes on.

Ask how much he/she wants you to take off.
But expect to have every part of your body examined. If the doctor is male he should be accompanied by a female assistant.
Males are generally gentler than females at the job.

not all of them, usually only your shirt (you usually wear this paper shirt thing though).

I do if the doctor requests it. Any excuse to get naked!
