Once I made a friend come to a doctors appointment with me. As soon as we got into the room and sat down I said, "I made her come!" And the doctor said, "Oh, it's good that you said that. She can stay."
So unless you specifically request to have someone come with you, I think doctors generally say that you can't have a friend there (I think sometimes boyfriends or family members come along and can make it difficult for the woman to talk openly about why she's there, her medical history etc).
