I don't think she understood what my pain was I'm having. She didn't seem to reveal that info to the scheduler or directly to dr zepeda right away so I could be seen faster. I also had to wait a long time to see her. Even though I expressed how much pain I'm in, I know have to have a mri and that won't be till next week.
Providence Patient
She was very personable.
Providence Patient

I unerstan that prescriptions of a controlled substance is controlled by the Feds, but she didn;t even try to work out a solution that would solve my problem and still keep the FEDS off her back. It is going to be her way or nothing at all.
