We moved to Brighton last August from out of state where my 10 year old daughter was treated under a pediatric neurologist for migraines for two years and her 9 year old sister under a pulmonologist for chronic barking cough and wheezing. Dr. Qalieh dismissed both needs for specialists saying that he would oversee these issues.
My older daughter has been on a daily migraine medication for two years and Dr. Qalieh promised to continue her same medication. I have learned that he only refills a prescription with no actual refills.
Every month, my pharmacy tells me that they need approval for a refill when our medication is due to refill. Every month I have to call Brighton Pediatrics for this refill. This entire process takes almost two weeks between getting ahold of the doc to send in the refill then having to wait for the pharmacy to fill it. It's incredibly frustrating for something that should actually be pretty simple after two years on this medication.
After a few months of this, I asked if Dr. Qalieh would send in the prescription with actual refills. He did this once in February with three refills. Now those are done and I'm back to having to call them monthly for a refill which is riduculous. I asked my pharmacy what's going on and they indicated that each month, the number of refills selected is always "zero."
I called Brighton Pediatrics a week ago asking again for our refill. I was ensured from the front desk staff that it would be sent to my pharmacy right away. Here we are one week later and no medicine refill has been called in.
I just booked new patient appointments with a different pediatric office. We are done with Dr. Qalieh. We need a doc who will listen and take our concerns seriously. Parents should not have to deal with the crazy antics of having to hunt him down once a month for a prescription that my daughter has been on for two years. As a nurse and a mom, I expected more from Brighton Pediatrics. read more
