I would like to give this place 0 stars, but since Google needs at least one star to rate a company, I had no choice but to give CCNC 1 star. Although the doctors and staff are friendly, courteous, and helpful, CCNC's medical practices are extremely self-centered and are created for the sole purpose of protecting itself at the expense of its patients.

Previously, my doctor had prescribed me 3-month prescriptions of the medication that I needed. However, once he joined CCNC, things completely changed. Initially, he would only prescribe me 1-month prescriptions, and wanted me to see him every month. After 4 months of this nonsense, I finally complained to him and asked him to give me a 3-month supply, to which he simply gave me 3 1-month prescriptions! When I asked him why I couldn't have a regular 3-month prescription, he told me that it was because of new state and federal laws related to Class 2 medications. I did my homework, researched NC state law and US federal law, called my pharmacist, and called my insurance carrier and they all said the same thing: "Your doctor can prescribe a 3-month supply of Class 2 medication on a single prescription to you and you will be able to fill it at the pharmacy without any problems whatsoever!"

Currently, I will be traveling to another country for a work-related business trip, and need a 3-month supply of medication. I scheduled an appointment with CCNC, met my doctor, and told him that I was traveling abroad and needed a 3-month supply of medication. I was simply told by the doctor that he could not do so, and that he could only write two 1-month prescriptions and that my family members would have to mail the medication to me abroad. After my husband, complained to him, he finally wrote the 3-month prescription that he should have been writing this entire time!

The moral of this story is know your rights as a patient. You are entitled to a 3-month supply of Class 2 medication on a single prescription from your physician in the state of North Carolina. If they tell you otherwise, they are LYING to you!!! I will never go to this place ever again and I will see a reputable doctor who actual cares about his patients and prescribes them the medication that they need and in the correct quantity too!
