She addressed my concerns with kindness and went over my options

She is very kind overall but I was not happy with my most recent appointment. She recommended and almost insisted that I will need to discontinue taking my Zepbound shots. I explained why I feel that I need to stay on them and she wasn't receptive. She recommended counseling with a food specialist at Novant. I surely wasn't expecting this news from my appointment. I am researching other providers that are willing to listen to me and my requests to stay on Zepbound. Originally I saw Jamie Szymarek, who I adored, but I believe she may have moved to the Kernersville office? The next person I saw was Mandy Sperle, who I also enjoyed seeing. Then all of a sudden I stopped seeing her. I work In Greensboro so I would need to stay at the Market Street location. I think Jamie or Mandy would have definitely handled my appointment differently and would have been more open/flexible to listening than Carentxa. I'm really upset that I feel like I need to look elsewhere, but I may have to if Carentxa is my only option. I plan to call the office and see if there is an appointment with Mandy.

She was amazing

Felt comfortable

I left this appointment feeling discouraged and upset. During my visit, the provider asked me what I would like my target weight to be in the future. I provided my answer and the provider busted out laughing. I thought that was very unprofessional. Regardless if the provider thinks I can reach the target weight or not, It was very discomforting for the provider to bust out laughing in my face. Please understand, I know I am overweight and have a long way to go to reach my target goal, but to have a provider laugh Is very disheartening. I am STRONGLY considering changing providers. I feel like if my PCP can prescribe the same meds I will just see her. There is no need for me to pay a provider to be ridiculed.
