      Dr Ayad knows her stuff but her communication style can be difficult to understand. She doesn't give much detail. Since many bariatric patients have similar concerns, it may help to have a website with FAQ. It would save the doctor's time, answering the same questions repeatedly while providing the information patients need.

      Dr. Ayad's interaction seems scripted. She misunderstood my questions and did not seem interested in understanding my concerns. It's as if she wanted to walk in, say her part, and leave without having to have the trouble of answering questions or understanding her patient. I left feeling defeated because I wasn't able to express my concerns as I had hoped.

      Idk if the dr was having a bad day but I felt I couldn't really ask questions without her talking to me like a kid repeatingThe same thing. I was trying to explain to her What I do so I could learn what I'm doing wrong that I thought wasn't wrong. She just kept repeating the same thing. I felt I couldn't really ask much.

      Sometimes it can be hard to interject into Ayad's conversation since she is extremely knowledgeable and tries to share her decision making thoughts and any risk or advice. With a short appointment it can be hard to have time to ask more than a few questions. She is always helpful and knowledgeable which is great.

      The information came at me all at once. It was difficult to understand until I sat down quietly to think about it afterward. Suggest Dr Amira has a video and written info on her website for those who need to take it all in slowly. I understand I'm starting in phase 1 but I don't know how many stages there are and when I will progress.
