"I saw Dr. Pannain for over a year and left my last two appointments and cried because I felt like she was pushing me onto medication I did not want or have a medical need to be on. She lacks an understanding of nutrition for someone who is weight specialized and recommended a 1200 calorie diet for an adult woman (the recommended calories for a toddler). I felt her treatment plan was pushing me into disordered eating behaviors and when I tried to advocate for myself I felt walked over. She continued to prescribe medication without getting follow up blood tests to see where my health was outside of my weight. "
