        Wonderful women's health practitioner that really cares for me!
        She treats every woman she sees like a goddess. A patient may
        "pass" on being weighed if there is no medical reason to do
        so. She has soft, cloth gowns that fit and makes sure that a big
        woman gets a big gown without having to ask for it!  (at 6'1"
        and 325 lbs, I can wrap the big gowns around me almost twice!) I
        never have to remind her nurse to use the large blood pressure
        cuff. She makes a point of having only comfortable, large chairs 
        without arms in her office. She has the lab tech draw blood in
        the comfort of the exam room. She helps me to look at ways for
        me to be a healthy woman of size. -- Evelyn, Yarmouth, Maine

	I was 230lbs when I started my pregnancy and she has not
	mentioned a word about my weight, as all my vitals were perfect.
	ALSO...due to previous pergnancies that ended tragically
	she has been an angel about making sure I received all the tests
	I requested to help me keep my mind at ease. She is upfront when
	answering the list of questions I bring in to every appointment
	and never makes me feel that any question is ridiculous.

	I recommend her not just for fat people, but for anyone. She is
	kind and friendly, treats the patient like a person, capable of
	respecting boundaries but also sticking up for the health care
	the patient needs. She is also aware that health care costs
	money and seeks to help her patients navigate the system. I've
	been seeing her for 10 years and have recommended her to several
	friends.
