I have been Dr. Ferris' patient since she first started to practice. During this visit she became angry/annoyed with me because I am back on a keto diet which I was on in 2019 and lost 63 lbs and my blood tests were stellar. She was all for it back then. This time she pushed the diabetic diet and was visably angry that I would not do it. Keto works for me and it is my preference. [...] Her entire attitude was defensive to anything I said, constantly correcting me and I was ready to walk out. I am not looking for another doctor after more than 30 years. I will not be treated like a dummy who can not make he own choice. She backed me on the keto diet before now her tune has changed and I don't like going to the doctor and being challenged by everything I say. It's unprofessional and personal hurtful, especially after all this time. [...] I am so disappointed with her.
