I have been overweight since i was a child. I went to see Dr Rocha about general medical concerns and his primary focus was on my weight. I don't have high blood pressure or diabetes as I am pretty healthy for an overweight adult. He continually recommended that I read a book that he used to lose weight. He did this regularly without any consideration of me being on every diet as well as having two gastric surgeries. I didn't need a book referral. I had extreme pain in my left arm due to tennis elbow. I told him of the pain and his response to me was "I will look at your arm once you've lost some weight!" I was horrified by his reply as I left the building. I had gone back to him for a follow up visit & told him about my arm again. He then gave me a Cortizone injection without x-rays of the arm, no counseling regarding exercises or supports to be used to help alleviate the arm pain. I told him that his comment during my last visit was unprofessional and I didn't appreciate it. He had no response or apology for me as he just remained silent! If you are overweight, don't go see Dr Rocha! I wont be back to be fat shamed by him or for subpar medical care. read more
