      Dr. Thomason is absolutely rude. I have been dealing with being overweight my entire life as is probably the issue with the majority of the patients coming here considering this is a Bariatric center. She has no regards for people’s feelings or their struggles. She gives them a “plan” to follow and thinks that they will be able to follow it without any hiccups. She needs to understand that people have to change everything about their ENTIRE lives in order to be successful with weight loss and this doesn’t happen overnight. She shouldn’t belittle patients for making mistakes or not being able to follow the diet perfectly. Making patients cry is not the way to help them lose weight. If anything, it makes them want to give up and go the opposite direction. She is not supportive at all and honestly I no longer wish to see her. I would rather have my PCP manage my weight loss. It may not be her specialty but at least she has better bedside manner. I would not recommend anyone see Dr. Thomason.

      About 25years ago I helped in Vietnamese resettlement . I asked how did a skinny Vietnamese Girl (lady) get involved in weight loss program . She replied that she had many obese clients whom she did not know how to help; so she went out of her way to discover & learn what she needed to know . And with her new-found knowledge she helped them & her husband - it's pleasant thing to know !
