They must understand the disease process of your diagnosis….. The one I was referred to had no idea what to eat for gastroparesis. I knew more from reading & searching on web sites than she did. I do have a medical background as an RN. I think she had pregnant brain & needed to take some time off for her delivery was in a few weeks of seeing me. Some are better than others. By trial & error & researching I have a better understanding of my own diagnosis. Educate Yourself. Good Luck!
