Patients are walking in already convinced they know what treatment they need
A parent keeps asking about their child who won’t eat because of textures. A patient wants GLP-1s before a wedding. Social media is making recovery increasingly harder to maintain.
Patients are arriving with information, opinions, and expectations before the conversation even starts.
