Ridiculous wait times to get refills
When I first started with Alpha Medical for weight loss, I got timely responses to messages & visits. It is now 11/11 & I still have not received my prescription or responses from my multiple messages from my visit on 10/29. My last injection was 10/30. Even it if it was sent today, it takes several days for my pharmacy to order & then get it in, so I will be almost 2 weeks without an injection. As a registered nurse, I am aware of how important medication compliance is, especially with this kind of medication. There is no option to call anyone & the only response I get to my messages requesting assistance is essentially we're overwhelmed & it now takes at least 7 days to get a response (as opposed to the previous 72 hours). If you are so overwhelmed, stop taking on new patients until you can learn to manage your workflow. I see my PCP in 2 weeks & will be asking him to take over this prescription as I've seen good results with it. If he won't then I will be looking elsewhere for care.
