Been a client for many years. Sustained numerous injuries d/t my physically challenging work. Most recently, another injury sidelined me and I arranged all the surgical care advising the pain clinic as per their protocol. This happened to coincide with the cdc's guidelines on opiate use, something that they were routinely prescribing over the course of years. Less than 2 months post-op, I'm reassigned to a NEW, prejudicial, evil and uncaring piece of work nurse practitioner. Citing the CDC reports but not asking my history to any extent, she decides to withdraw my medication 10 mg at a time. It's to be known that I had already dropped down by 30 mg over the course of the previous six months. My PT following the surgery was horrendous and subsequently I continued with PRN oxycodone, from the surgeon, PREVIOUSLY arranged with the clinic as noted, and as documented in my chart and two months later on my second visit, when this is brought up following a urine screen in (which I was brutally honest) as I had followed all the rules, the evil nurse practitioner who should be ashamed of herself for her poor patient skills, announced to me that I was being dropped as a patient because I was receiving medication from my surgeon. In addition I had just been fired from my job for not returning in a timely fashion which I had told her one minute prior to her bombshell announcement. It was Advanced Pain Managements idea to start me on methadone some six- seven years ago and as a result I have now been forced to stop. I urge all of you to think twice before becoming a patient here. They had three clinics back in the day and now they have 30. I have watched them start out driving Lexus's, advance to Mercedes and eventually Jaguars. To get an songleinjection in your back will cost your insurance co at least $3,000 for the doctor and $3,000 for laying on a simple OR table, most of the surgical sites they own so it's double billing. I encourage you to try something other than APM so that you can explore the possibilities of alternatives other than three shots a year at Great expense to your insurance company. These folks do not care. Incidentally, there was no teaching as to what to expect with my withdrawal symptoms, only a blood pressure medicine called in. Is left me high and dry.
