They had quite a few interesting magazines, which made my time in the waiting room go by much faster. I wish they had given me more information about my treatment's risks and benefits. I still had to do my own research. Whenever I make an appointment, I'm always confident that they're going to be ready for me at my scheduled time. At other places I've been to, it's always bothered me when they postpone my appointment, but they've never done that here. They have a very good professional reputation. I know that I'm under the care of an expert.

I have lupus anticoagulant and crohns and fibromyalgia. I was sent to a ruematologist who put me on percocet and told me to come back in 2 weeks. I got to the desk for appt. but they gave me one for 2 months. The percocet was not working ,Iam in terrible pain so I try to call the doc and they dont return my call, I tried everyday to get him but no answer. I went to my regular doc and said these dont work and gave the med for him to distroy. He sent me to a pain management but the prescription was for methodone it scared so I gave the script to my doc.' I tried the ruemy again but no answer. I even tried late night call and he didnt respond. Finally I got him. They mailed me a prescription but I didnt fill it. I told him I needed to see him. He finally answered. When I got there I waited a long time. Finally Im called in and a large woman told me that the doc dismissed me. i asked why. She put a paper on the counter and I didnt get to look at it. I old her I wasnt on any drugs and she is wrong. I took the prescription out and she snatched it out of my hand and said THANK YOU FOR giving my prescription back. I told her she is wrong about me. I saw the doc behind her look at me and he went into his room. The lady told me to leave, I was crying trying to understand. She said she will call security. I left not knowing why or not being able to say I didnt take the meds. Later in week I got a 3 dollar invoice for me to pay for them mailing me that prescript she snatched from me. She did not take time for me to ask and tell things that happened. I was dismissed
