Worst office ever! I was referred here by my family practitioner for pain management. I had previously had really good visits here UNTIL I had an emergency.<br>I was a patient of Dr McPhersons but saw his PA for the last few visits. I was called back into a room only to have my nurse called out. She was gone about 10 mins then came back in and said "you are seeing Dr. P today". I asked what was going on and she said she didn't know. ( BS)<br>I was asked to do a urinalysis which I did expecting no issues. Next thing I know Dr P comes in with a severe attitude telling me I was doing METH!!!!!! ( I couldn't believe my ears) I asked if that could be the diet pill phentermine that I was on only to receive more attitude. I was told he sees this twice a week and it basically the urine test doesn't lie but final results take a week. He has no clue I have a sister dying with only 15% of her heart working and a son in rehab for Meth. I was put down, disrespected and humiliated! The conversation got heated, I was upset and crying. I HAVE NEVER DONE DRUGS IN MY LIFE! It gets worse. He reprimanded me for "violating" the narcotics agreement. Said they do a DPS report and that I had a narcotic filled by another dr. ( I told him I had a procedure done with a plastic surgeon and filled my rxs, I didn't think my T3 for my back had anything to do with different type of rx for my plastic surgery). I was talked to severely after he said he could lose his licence and that he was stopping all meds and referring me. I was in shock!!!<br>He reprimanded me again for not doing a nerve study and a procedure for my back pain. I told him I couldn't afford surgery center being a cash pt and he suggested I do it without anesthetic. When I saw his PA the for the first time, he disagreed with Dr P and suggested an injection in the office, I went with this since it was WAY less expensive. Dr. P said that the PA is entitled to his opinion but he was his boss! Then asked me how much my plastic surgery cost and said " I bet that was a pretty penny, huh!"<br>I left the appt after Dr. P said he was exiting the room, I walked out after that. My drug did come back the following Wednesday absolutely clean except alcohol. I said I am not giving up the occasional glass of wine. I then demanded an apology which I got a standard.. " I'm sorry and wish you well" which probably came from the nurse reading me my results in which she said she thinks that's a good apology. She then faxed me a referral and list of other pain doctors.
