I was a patient here for 6 years. For that entire time, I was very happy with the doctor. After 6 years, because of the "opioid crisis" the doctor no longer felt "comfortable treating my condition" I never failed a urine analysis, never called in for early scripts or anything. I am disabled by the state because my diseases are incurable and nothing further can be done besides treat the pain from them. I have proof/documentation of this and notes from diagnostic doctor stating this. To tell a loyal patient to go elsewhere after 6 years is unethical and unprofessional. I was told by the medical board (LARA) that, because of my diseases, the severity of them, the fact that I am disabled by the state and that I have so much documentation of them, the new pain medication rules would not effect me. All the doctor would have needed to do was a little more paperwork to have me documented as a patient that has incurable chronic and painful illnesses and that all that can be done for me is treating the symptoms (pain) because nothing else can be done for the diseases. But obviously I was not worth a little more paperwork. I'm sure the doctor didn't lose any sleep over it either. I think I might even complain to LARA especially since I was told this should not have effected my care/treatment. It was wrong to treat me for 6 years, then claim to not be comfortable treating my diseases anymore. Pathetic, immoral, unethical, incompetent. Especially since I see someone else leave a review raving at the care he/she gets from the meds the Dr gives them. Shame on these doctors!!
