"About a year ago, I made an appointment to see Dr. Meilahn. There was a three month wait before the appointment. The day of the appointment I was ofcourse very nervous but excited too. When I first walked into that waiting room, my nervousness almost turned to panic. Being a person over 300 pounds and being very shy and self conscious, I always avoid crowds. His waiting room is a shared waiting room with about 100 seats. When I walked in about 90 of those seats were taken. My appointment was scheduled for 1:00pm. I sat in that over-crowded waiting room for over 2 and a half hours. I was finally called at about 3:45pm. His nurse first walked me down a hall crowded with med students all standing around talking, then into a small room with a scale and another four med students, again standing there talking. Then into an even smaller room with a sink, table, one chair and one stool. In comes another med student. He wrote down all my information. Then in comes the doctor and another med student. The doctor took over and explained the procedure and asked if I had questions. The doctor was in the room maybe 10 minutes. Then he told me I could see Nyeesha at the desk to get started. I left immediately and have not been back since. This is in no way a "bad report" about the doctor himself. I did not have the surgery. The reason I'm posting this is because if someone reading this is considering going to Dr Meilahn, they should be aware of the waiting room situation. If I had known, I never would have gone. For someone like me, who has is obese and very self-conscious, it was a traumatic experience and I only hope to prevent it from happening to someone else. "
