NOT professionals, NOT offering healthcare
Y'all, believe the bad reviews. I didn't & deeply regret it. I was a customer (I say that and not "patient" bc that's how they treated me & made me feel) for MORE THAN 4 YEARS. I took my assessment, paid extra for talk therapy, & started medication in late 2020—before they DOUBLED their prices. I was a loyal "customer", only stopping talk therapy after I found an in-person provider, never missing a follow-up, never causing a problem. I had MANY issues over those 4 years...i went through 5 different "providers", the turnover rate is ridiculous—red flag #1!—couldn't ever reach someone when I called for a year, when they seemingly solved that problem, you have to wait days for a response, & the people were rude half the time...just utterly ridiculous, to be honest. However, the medication helped me enough to put up with it. After all, I didn't finally go back to it after several years for no reason. I had finally gotten my life under control, thanks to a combination of talk therapy AND meds, & I was grateful for it. Well, fast-forward to last month. I had paid in full the $99/month, then OUT OF NOWHERE $169/month for YEARS, without issue...then my mom passed & we went into debt to take care of her. I asked ONCE—for the first & ONLY time—if I could have a ONE month appointment (not the 3 as is the norm) *just once* so I didn't CONTINUE to go without meds...I was already out at that point but was trying to figure the money situation out. I'm a proud person & it took a lot to even ask. Of course they were cold & it took several days for a response of "too bad/so sad loyal customer, we don't care" no surprise there! I had to take a loan out anyway to pay a bill (as I said, it was rough for a few months there), so i got almost $200 extra to go ahead & make my appointment, which they were more than happy to make at that point, obviously! Well, after speaking with the receptionist & explaining my situation, she said she would reach out to the "provider" & ask about a bridge RX to last until then—almost 2 weeks away. I thought that sounded like a great idea since I was out of my meds already. Not to mention, my year-long (latest) provider (who was amazing, btw!) had just left, so I had to choose a new one. Of the 2 choices, I choose an MD I had already seen before...who had already written my script (Keep in mind). This was a Monday. I hadn't heard anything by Wednesday & called—got "hey, she has the request, someone will reach out soon" ok...crickets...called back Friday (4 days later) & someone FINALLY decided to be HONEST with me. That same day I had called originally—Monday FOUR DAYS earlier—the MD had looked at the request, denied it & in fact, just by a quick glance at my RX on file—including 2 old ones I NO LONGER TAKE & the old dosage for another—decided she didn't like that I was on a "high dose" of my meds (after 4 years THIS TIME on them &< a decade on them when I was a teenager...& 2/day is absolutely NOT a high dose for an adult!) & because she noticed i was taking 2 RXs with a "potential for abuse" she wasn't going to treat me. Mind you, I was actually on a higher dose of one of those meds the last time I saw this SAME provider & she WROTE ME (the USUAL 2/day—the same dose) & I was still on the other medication, that I've since stopped. So, to recap...I was made to wait a week for an answer they had the day I called, an answer that directly contradicts provider's own history with me & FOUR YEARS of history with this company, was insulted by the implication that I'm drug seeking—after I AGONIZED over the decision to get back on meds, with an ACTUAL provider who knew ME—oh, & ofc she had canceled my appointment & SAID NOTHING about the almost $200 I had just paid! I was in shock & I was upset. It made no sense, was the least professional thing I had EVER witnessed—from people who claimed they were "healthcare providers"—& was a slap in the face from a company I had faithfully dealt with for ~4 years. Not only that conclusion,but she also made sure to call the only other provider in my state so I couldn't be treated by her, either—another provider who had ALSO written me before, btw! Then after all that, they made me call & get jerked around for A WEEK when the 2/3 people I spoke to HAD TO see that note...THAT upset me more than anything. It's laziness and 100% disregard for their "patients" from the ground up. The nice guy I last talked to that Friday (after I had been hung up on, too, btw!) authorized a refund (finally got ~2 weeks later), apologized & said himself, he couldn't believe they treated me that way & was DISGUSTED by their behavior (his words). He never called me back for a rec to another provider, though, which he offered. They've done nothing else to help me...not even reached out. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR *CUSTOMERS.* I'm also depressed, disorganized, anxious & struggling all over again—so 100% AVOID!
