Absolutely unbelievable experience. I found out EX was bringing our child to see the Dr and getting medication prescribed without my knowledge or consent. I brought divorce decree (a legal document) showing this cannot happen w/o my consent. First I had to battle the Latina gal at the front who clearly thought she was an attorney a/or a mom/women's advocate. She was looking for a fight the second I walked in to retrieve my child's records. When I finally had words with the Dr., he informed me that he would continue to prescribe medication because the mom has the right to do so regardless he has the legal documentation in his possession that clearly says otherwise. He also implied that he being a doctor, outweighed me being the child's parent. What?? When I mentioned his participation in violating a legally binding divorce decree and it's prudent that he pays for malpractice insurance, the tune quickly changed.
Furthermore, it was clear that they had personal information from my EX because the B*$%tch behind the counter knew things she shouldn't have that could have only come from my EX. Although Dr. Machi and I ended our conversation on a calming note and he agreed to stop prescribing meds for my child, he is quick to diagnose and too quick to prescribe. Unless you are a lazy parent looking for some panacea, this is not the place for you. All you'll get are meds. There's so much more but this gets the general idea conveyed I hope. read more
