I was under his care when he diagnosed me with a thyroid disease and gave me the lowest dose possible. Checked on me two months later and he decided the lowest dose was enough to regulate. I ended up getting another job and moved to Sacramento, my job offered an insurance that only covered in the city I was living in. I was refilling my medication as normal when the pharmacy said that my doctor would not refill it again until I saw him. I called Dr. Duggal's office explained I needed one more month refill because I couldn't take time off work until after 6 months of being there and that I already had an appointment to establish care somewhere else due to my insurance coverage. Dr. Duggal refused to refill the medication because I was not going to see him any more. I told them it was only for 1 more month and that I didn't see the problem since it was the lowest dose possible (meaning it would not hurt me) and to top it off its a maintenance medication for a chronic condition. They still said no. I couldn't believe he would rather I be without the medication! Even the pharmacy couldnt believe he had denied it. Not very good primary care if you ask me. read more
