Help finding obese friendly doctors in Nashville
Hello everyone, I am trying to find an obese friendly Doctor in Nashville, TN. I have been home bound and not seen a doctor in nearly 10 years, I am 6'0 and around 500lbs and need to find a physician to start seeing that actually knows the ups and downs of an obese patient and that can deal with normal things and gynecological problems as well if possible. Before I stopped leaving my home, the doctors I would go see weren't always very friendly and their offices were definitely not set up to deal with a patient of my size.
I could really use your help if any of you know of any really nice, caring, friendly, non judgmental physicians that take time with their patients where I can start getting everything checked out and in order to hopefully be able to get surgery at some point. Thanks so much for your help.
Wendy

Oh, I have Medicare part A & B if that might help.
I don't know any Primary Care Doctors myself. YOu might try calling the Centennial Center for the Treatment of Obesity and asking for a referral. That is the center I had my bariatric surgery through and they are fantastic.
