"I want to say something about my primary care doctor. First he is the " Best" in have been through 2 neurologist one that I had to wait 5 hours literally in the waiting room for an appointment which is ridiculous to see him and when I just couldn't do that anymore because " my time is valuable too" he discharged me. Because I just couldn't make it an all day thing. Then, the next neurologist " never filled my meds" and when my next appointment came. I was like why am I even here? You never even bothered getting the prior authorizations for my meds. The pharmacist calked you 8xs, I called and spoke to the nurse and left detail messages and even printed out the form but it was still " never done in time" it was discharged because I questioned that.
My primary care has made sure that my meds are current and that I stay on top of my neurology stuff while trying to find a decent neurologist it's been hard. Look you have to research them. They are not all the same. Look at the reviews. Trust me! After this last " jackhole" I really cannot believe he is in business and not investigated. He treated my father sooo bad. Do your work. And " you have the right to question them" you have rights! You can fire them just as fast as they fire you. You are valued as a person and patient by other physicians just find the right one. "

  1. thank you for this update!! I know it can be hard to speak up for yourself. When you learn how, it can be so uplifting. I am so glad that you do not just put up with anything from your providers.
    I wanted to share this article on what helped me learn to advocate. https://migraine.com/living-migraine/my-life-of-advocacy.
    I also wanted to share this resource as well. It is the Patient Advocate Foundation. https://migraine.com/living-migraine/free-case-managemnt
    They can assist patients getting the help they need. Did you know that they existed? They can also help with appeals. Just wanted to let you know they were out there.

    As patients, there are things we have to do, but our doctors have a job also.
    Again, thank you for sharing. Hope you are well today. (Tonya, team member).
