From the first time I have try to make appointment with y'all I had problems. Even though I could have went to Vanderbilt weight loss center. I decided to give you a one more chance to make it right. The receptionist was one of the nicest and sweetest woman I ever met if you want for her I probably would have walked away and went to another office. From the time I met Amy she looked at me like why you doing here and I had to bring my 15-year-old son and he was quiet all he asked for was a bottle of water and she just kept cutting her eyes at my son like he was doing something wrong. I felt so uncomfortable disappointed in the way she try to make excuses keep for me seeing a doctor I took the quiz I only missed one on the quiz and she told me if I passed the quiz then I can talk to the doctor unfortunately there was a lot how can a woman that only talks on a on the internet tell me you're not ready to make the doctor yet because I told her the truth or what kind of foods I like to eat and what kind of food that she prefer for me to start eating I agreed to do that I've been a nurse for 25 years I am a person that goes by what somebody tell me in that office from the way I eat from the way I drink from the way I exercise. The only good thing she did for me is gave me a sheet of different types of meals that I can incorporate and after I lose weight and I agree to it in fact I'm right at essay on it. She made me feel so I'm disappointed in her and lied to me about passing that test. I've been following directions from the time I started this I in the future know that because they cuddled my skin the way I dress don't mean that I don't know what I'm doing I thank you for the help with the food schedule but I in my opinion instead of you finding something to stop me from seeing my doctor it needs to be more than changing how to schedule out of mail plan and she just had a nasty attitude one thing in about know about me I'm very blonde very honest I would love to recommend people to y'all but until y'all get Amy together then I can recommend you somebody hundreds and hundreds of nurses and doctors all my life. I am just disappointed but I'm not going to let her discourage me because I work too hard to get to this place so I can have this surgery. My name Lipford Murphy maybe I can be able to fix the criticism that people have towards y'all
