Has anyone had a psychologist tell them that they turn down 99% of their patients?

My mother just went to get her psyc eval today. Before she sat for the MMPI she was asked if she is still eating out of control. My Mother replied Yes.(Like none of are, right?) This lady then said she denies 99% of all who come to see her for this perpose until they understand why they eat, then refers them to a lady who does this kind of counseling. Does this sound a little fishy to anyone else. My Mom is bipolar and has been stable for years, her Shrink thought the surgery was a great Idea for her. Her Doc is Juarez, in Phoenix. Any Ideas???
