Dr. Vallejo-Craig was my PCP for a few years until she took an obvious dislike to me during an office visit because I had been on a pain med prescribed and followed by a pain specialist. She told me everyone abuses that medication and that included me. She accused me of exaggerating and lying through the whole visit. I thought she knew me, and understood us to have mutual respect. I discovered later, in reading her note from that visit in my medical record that she lied and misrepresented me, apparently to defend her behavior and prove me to be a drug seeker. She quoted me repeatedly as saying things I have never nor would ever say- including that I demanded pain medication from her, and lied and exaggerated. She documented fake details to make me sound like a typical drug seeker, including indicating that I was irresponsible with self care and health maintenance like dentist visit, physical, mammogram, etc. This was plain ridiculous as I'm scrupulous about regular health care and screening, and my last dental cleaning was the day prior! She went on to write misleading lies about our entire interaction. I've completely lost respect for her as a physician and as a person. I stopped seeing her and spoke to her very kind MA about it a few weeks afterward. She listened and validated me and that helped. However this experience of being accused, lied about and misrepresented in my medical record had a negative effect on my mental health and certainly caused me undue distress. I recorded every detail of this visit and a copy of her notes. I considered reporting her to her Practice Manager and the CO Medical Board, but decided not take the risk of her negatively affecting my relationships and earned respect in this medical community. read more
