Second Appointment
Dec 11, 2011
I had my second appointment with the dietitian at Virginia Mason. I'm blown away by how helpful and friendly everyone is. When I was checking in, the receptionist was giving me directions to the dietitian. I guess I looked a little overwhelmed because she said there was a shortcut. She literally took my hand and took me outside, She pointed to the building and then she described the entrance (we couldn't see that was around the corner). Wow. What a wonderful woman.I had my appointment with the dietitian. She is this very small woman who was so kind and so encouraging. She really made me feel good about the small strides I'd made over the last month. She gave me very realistic goals for our next meeting.
Now comes the part of the day that blew me away. When I was making my appointment for my January meeting with the dietitian, I told the receptionist that I had my meeting with the psychiatrist next month and I'd like to make it for the same day (because I live about 90 miles away). Well, folks, Seattle is a really big city full of really aggressive drivers, one way streets, steep hills, streets that go off at crazy angles and then change names, and expensive parking that's not always easy to find or convenient. It's not always easy to find what your looking for even if you have GPS in your vehicle. Get this...the receptionist at the dietitian's office told me about a shuttle that will take me to my psychiatrists office. Again, she took me upstairs and showed me where the schedule is and then outside to show me where the shuttle will pick me up and THEN she said she offered to take the shuttle with me to make sure I find it. Virginia Mason has an amazing staff!!!
