Dr. Brown is a friendly dentist and he never judges you based on
your size. In fact, nobody in the office has ever made a comment
about me being fat! He also has larger sized dental chairs too,
with ample open space on the sides for your hips to fit in.
Dominic L. Ricciardi, MD, primary care

I've finally found a fat-friendly primary care doctor in Las
Vegas. Dr. Ricciardi specializes in bariatric type medicine, but
he is a great primary care doctor (you can see him as your
regular doctor even if you haven't had or don't want to have
weight loss surgery). I see him for my regular checkups (I've
never had nor considered weight loss surgery). He is very
thorough and spends tons of time with you to answer all of your
questions. He has never lectured me on weight ever, and he never
scolds you if you've gained weight. He seems to truly care about
his patients and he wants you to be healthy. His office is very
high tech and his medical records are all electronic, so he
always has your health history literally at his fingertips. He
also has several very large armless couches in his waiting area
so there is a comfortable seat no matter what your size, and he
has large blood pressure cuffs. And best of all he is PROMPT! I
have never had to wait over 5 minutes to see him. If you are a
fluffy person who avoids going to the doctor, don't put it off
and see Dr. Ricciardi. You won't get any stern lectures and you
won't leave humiliated.

Barbara's statement elsenet:
I assist patients with developing a recovery plan which is
individualized to their lifestyle and situation. I help the
client to begin to nourish their body with an eventual goal of
becoming an intuitive eater. I combine CBT with nutritional
guidance and help the client to overcome their fears with food.
I also work with families and significant others to help them
understand and learn how they can help their loved one. My
office is located in a professional building and I am a
registered dietitian in private practice.
She occasionally does Intuitive Eating Group therapy as well.
