Tara, he is a quack from what i hear too, but, he's prescribes meds. I know a few people that go to him. Personally I really don't know what you're looking for you know . If you're looking for a doctor that really cares about your paid and what you're going through I wish you all the luck and Friday at one as I still haven't found one that's very caring and compassionate . However if you're looking for pain management and to get out some form of pain medication , whether he's a quack or not that would be your guy to go too. You may want to check out some urgent cares in your area as well some of them in Allentown have a pain management programs. Good Luck!

Nikki,
I'd love both, compassionate & pain relief. But if i have to pick 1 if would of coarse be relief. For 8 plus years my pain was controlled with oxy...u know started out 5mg 4x a day..and then kept upping me...the last 2-3 years was 30mg 6 times a day....im sure i wont get that again right off the bat brinf that ive been off 8 months and on the suboxone (which i totaly dislike-doesnt help pain as much)
I have to start all over woth MRI and whatever else...last Dr is shut down and isnt releasing records.....crazy right? Has to be illegal.
Anyway thanks so much for all ur replies. Best of luck 2 u too. Ttys

Can someone direct me to a doctor in lancaster,pa that would prescribe pain meds. Just moved here a month ago and its hard to find one especially if you on medicaid you have to pick a pcp asap, they dont give you time to find and explore the right doctor.

Can you give me the quack doctor. Just moved here from Arkansas and is having a hard time finding a doctor. Hard to find a doctor fast who would prescribe if you are on Medicaid and you have to pick a pcp fast. They dont give you time to find one and try them out to even consider the best one for your pcp. Also im in the lancaster county

Q,

The Medicaid issue will be a problem for this so called doctor. Cash is what seems to work best. Medicaid draws the regulators in and they choose not to be under the tight scrutiny of such. Now private insurance companies are a different story since they can easily pad the bill for unneeded inj's and diagnostics. No matter who you see for any hope whatsoever to be considered for oral narcotic containing opiates/opioids medication therapy, physical therapy is mandatory. If you can meet those standards I can recommend someone in your general vicinity.

Q, the doctors aren't anywhere near Lancaster County, they are Stroudsburg/Allentown area which is about 2 hours from you. Look up pain management clinics in that area on East Brown Street. Good luck!

Also he doesn't accept Medicaid. Most of them don't. You need to pay cash per visit. I know mine is $80 cash every 2 weeks, but I am lucky that Medicaid picks up the cost of my RX.

Tara, if you were looking to start doing paid management again personally I don't know if I would tell them that I was on a Suboxone maintenance program. Even if it was for pain. Most doctors when they see that you are on a Suboxone program think that you are addicted to opiates and I hesitant to prescribe . I know personally that in my pain management practice they do operate a sub program to, and if they see that you were on the sub program they will not prescribe opiates to you ever again. It is pretty unfair but be careful with what you tell them.

Tara,

I agree with Nikki. Even if you are on the subs for pain management, I imagine most doctors do not go that route unless the patient is admittedly at high risk for abuse/addiction. If you want to discontinue subs in favor of more traditional pain medication, I probably wouldn't disclose that info, unless absolutely necessary. I'm not sure if it will turn up somewhere else for them to see. It's hard enough finding a doctor to take your pain seriously and feel comfortable prescribing certain meds. I imagine that factor would increase their hesitance in prescribing. Just my opinion.

Nikki,
So unfair. I was forced to go on suboxone bc of my pain dr suddenly shutting down & giving NO referrals. I hate to lie about the situation but ur probably right and damn it its so unfair. The brown st dr i hear he only gives Norco 10mg. But of coarse thry wont start me out on anything high dose off the bat. This hole thing sucks. Don't know wht to do. My insuramce jas beem payimg for the sub for the last 8 months Dr appt and rx so i maybe screwed period with insurance paying for rx
Sigh......just the thought of spending the rest of my life in pain coukd make me cry

I have the same one nikki has thats 80 per 2 weeks........hes been great but i would never give his information out he has enough patients already....another plus is my doctor owns all his pain managment practices...ive had him for three years... no pill counts as id never take a doctor with pill counts....cuz were always in pain u never know when a few extra is needed.... if u really want and need your narcotic pain meds then u will search till u find one...and u never stop searching for instance i had a pain doctor who was giving me 10 millogram oxycodone i made the decision to leave him...for a doctor that i found on my own just from doing research and reading signs paying attention to EVERYTHING pain managment....now i get 30s....4 times a day.....nobody told me i found him on my own....if u want a doc bad enough ull find one!!!

@antman, I wasnt asking for u or Nikki to give me ur doc info. I dont blame u for not giving out his info on line to someone u dont know, I wouldnt either, i had a great dr too for years, no counts & prescibed me 6 30's a day! But he found himself in some trouble & lost his license.....put me & a bunch of other legit patients in a horrible predicament....
as far as"searching until i find the right pain mngt dr " that's easier said then done. Insurance frowns upon jumping from dr to dr especially pain mngt, even tho i think it mkes sense to leave a dr and look for another if ur not happy, and i def cant afford jumping from expensive pain mangt dr to the next, the inital pmt is always the highest. Sigh.....

I bought some Kratom yesterday i hear its comparable to opiates, I dont agree but thrn again i bought it from a local head shop, might order something more authentic online.

I did call 2 pain drs in area one isnt excepting new pts & tge other only take Medicare, which i dont have.
Do u & Nikki live in the Stroudsburg area?

Antman,

Do u go to the same Dr as nikki.. and if so how did that happen, that u ended up at the same place....

TARA,

If u need a place to order kratom from... order it from smart kratom..... they're absolutely amazing... and their product is always fresh and the top of the line.. I've turned a few people on to smart kratom, because they had the same experience as if u bought it from a local headshop and it was s***. All 3 people have used it to come off opiates, and different strains do different things. Well I wish everyone luck.

Tara, i'll give u some clues willowgrove...northeast philly....mongomeryville.... there's hundreds of pain doctors in all 3 areas but if u need a good one read profiles and reviews, check ratings n you will stumble across clues that will show u where to find a compassionate pain doctor. I will not release any other clues......it will take a little digging. There's 15-20 percent of your search. I hope u can put it together. If u do stumble across anything tara don't put it on here...u will find her or him...

@ Antman, thank u for ur info to!!. The towns u mentioned are pretty far from me 90-120 mins far....im in Stroudsburg, the Poconos. But again thank u very much for sharing ??. U never know i may have to travel that far to find the right Dr( compassionate & understanding )
I will keep u & Nikki in the loop thru my journey.....
Hope everyone has a????peaceful night & a lovely weekend
