I just wanted to respond to the last poster about Dr. Mulvey. Of course, he wants his patients to be healthy and at a healthy weight. However, insulting them and pressuring without any advice or strategy is not helpful. Telling me to let my baby cry when an obvious pat on the back or a toy will help is not my idea of how to raise my child. I would not have brought her to my appt except that she had one scheduled too.
I felt rushed and insulted in this office. I did not feel that Dr. Mulvey was sensitive to my needs or to my concerns as he did not seem to have time to listen to what I had to say. He simply prescribed medication that, in my opinion, was not needed for a symptom that I had not even gone in to talk about.
When I look for a doctor, I am looking for someone who is sensitive to my needs and yes, to my feelings. I want honesty but I want someone who I feel can empathize with me as well. I have found that in another doctor.
