Topic: Searching for a PCM with friendly and understandin manners in Fort Lee, VA area
Hello Everybody,
I had my surgery last year at Fort Lewis, WA Madigan Army Medical Center. Now we received orders to Fort Lee, VA and I am desperate to find a new PCM that is NOT judgemental about people that are/or had been overweight. I know this must sound weird to you but I met a couple of PCM's that were rude and did not understand people with weight issues. My last two PCM's were absolutely wonderful, friendly, kind, humerous and most of all they did NOT push me into tests etc. They listend and took their time explaining things.
Can anybody help me finding a PCM like that again?
(Richmond, Fort Lee, Colonial Heights, Chesterfield area would be great)
Thank you so much for all your help!

You are having normal thoughts and frankly if you weren't worried about it then I would worry. I know that this group isn't a person to person group but if you need help just ask and those of us who have went through this already we will help the best way we can.
