Firstly, this is my first review ever on Yelp.
But I felt compelled to write this Dr. a positive review as he made this unusual process a breeze.
Now I came to his office with all my details in order ie: I am a chronic pain patient with all the docs from my health care provider detailing recent pain procedures. In other words I wasn't just another bloke trying to get access to med marij.
The building he is in is in a nice enough Mira Mesa industrial park, but it is under renovation which for me made things feel a little shady. I was very skeptical about this process. Also there is a working med marji. collective RIGHT next door to this Dr.'s office. Although the Dr. made it clear that they do not work in concert, (and cannot by law) the Dr.'s assistant did strongly suggest the collective next door as I was leaving. I did not visit the place next door.
This Dr.'s pricing ($125 or $100 after pre-qual coupon) may be a little more expensive than others you see online or in the reader, but I feel the thoroughness of the documentation process was worth it. I left with 2 originals of the letter, one for safekeeping and one to take while buying meds. And THE BIG TEST! I went directly to a collective, presented my letter and photo ID and was able to purchase meds.
Great job Dr. Blake!
Hope you'll still be around next year if/when I need to renew my letter! read more
