The First visit was bizzare. I was up front & honest with the doctor. I was never asked for a urine test & was honest with the doctor about why I can't pass one. The doctor told me they do NOT do medical management which is what my PCP sent me to them for. The visit ended with me not contracting with them. 4 months later I'm back because the doctor lied to me (according to my physician); they do medical management. Again, I was never asked to give a urine test. Wasn't looking for nacotics; I was looking for relief from what turns out to be nerve damage in my foot. The original doctor was not in & I saw another doctor who was really kind & found a non-narcotic pain reliever (no NSAIDs) and off I went. 4 days later I realized that I was having an allergic reaction and when I contacted this office was told to stop taking the medication and go to the emergency room. There was no need for the emergency as we have the necessary medication to counter the reaction and as soon as I stopped taking the medication, the reaction went away. I contact this office the very next day as I didn't want another 8yrs to pass before I found pain relief. O...M...G...the office manager accused me of lying; of REFUSING to give a urine sample & Oh, by the way, we're firing you because you have a "socially unacceptable habit" and it's illegal for us to prescribe you narcotics (again, I wasn't looking for narcotics). Hmmm...after checking with my attorney about her statement, which is untrue, I will NOT ever use these people again. They are experienced in pain management, however, I will not be lied to; treated like I'm scum of the earth by an office manager that likes to practice law in a doctors office. And according to Tricare, a medical provider is violating Tricare policy when they demand payment up front. Your choice to go there, but you better have a clean urine sample or you might stand before their office manager to get fired.
