Sep 10, 2024
One of the worst experiences I've had. I felt zero interest from my provider in helping me manage either expectations or my health, much less active discussion of lifestyle, dietary etc. [...] I don't know. It was just awful. [...] She seemed more interested in nodding to her students with some sly knowing glance than in my history or needs. In fact she never inquired as to my needs. The whole situation felt awful once she and her students entered the room. [...] I left feeling unseen and objectified. Ugh.
