I originally called GA Outreach after moving from Atlanta to Tybee Island. I am bi-polar and I have been stable and on the same meds for more than 10 years. I asked for an appointment with the maintenance med nurse because i was not willing to entertain any other medications.
Dr Negron I insisted I see him via TelePrompTer instead of nurse. He is 90+ years old and his wife is in background repeating what I am saying so he can understand. He tried to imply that Lamictal could be replaced with Geodon. I told him I tried it, it didn't work and if my meds were not broken, why change anything. He would only write a 30 day supply of maintenance meds so I would have to come back in 30 days at $275.
I was not interested in seeing him again so I emailed Tuba (office admin) about replacing my next appointment with nurse instead of Dr Negron. On the 19th of October I was asked what day works bets for me to see the nurse. I made the appointment for November 4th because I knew I would run out of meds on Saturday, in particular was Cymbalta.
Tube called at 5:15 on the 3rd to tell me that I cannot see the nurse, he is cancelling the appointment but can get me in on Monday....and Dr Negron WILL NOT CALL IN ANY MEDS UNTIL I SEE HIM.
For those of you who don't know, Cymbalta has the most dramatic withdrawal of any medication on the market. There is a Mass Litigation against Cymbalta, in which they lost and are paying me out because by day #4, suicidal thoughts begin.
I begged and pleaded with them to call in the Cymbalta. They did not return my calls or respond to my emails.
I have to go to the ER today for 2 doses of Cymbalta so I don't have to go through the most debilitating withdrawal I've ever felt.
Don't book any appointments with GA Outreach. They have no sense of reasonable care or will they have your health in mind if ever in a pinch. Please call me for more details about this practice. I'm reporting Dr Negron and I will sue him for causing emotional injury, which I can prove by that mass litigation win.
