I have never felt so degraded by a doctor I was trying to get help from before. If you have an eating disorder, she is not informed at all about how they work and told me I “should be healed from it by now”. I told her I was anxious because I had waited 6 MONTHS for this appointment and she latched onto “anxious” and made me so uncomfortable the rest of the appointment. I felt like she didn’t listen to me at all- I am relatively active both in my job and in my everyday life and I don’t drink sugary drinks- she told me to workout more and don’t drink my calories. She gave me a blanket recommendation of 1500 calories. She discounted everything I had already been working with a nutritionist about, who was appalled when I told her how this appointment went. I canceled my follow up and have since lost weight no thanks to her “advice”, which was all things I had tried before and didn’t work long term - the reason why I made this appointment in the first place. If you are truly desperate to lose weight, I’m sure she’s fine, but I could’ve saved my copay and my mental health by just working with my PCP.
