Dr. V went on a month's vacation with no coverage. I admit I accidentally missed my last appointment with him which happened to be his last day before his vacation. I called his office the day of the missed appointment and received a return phone call the following day. I only had a weeks worth of my medications left so I asked who was covering his patients while he was on vacation. I was I was told that Dr. V had no one covering his patients. I was told to contact my primary care doctor which I did. When my primary care doctor's staff called Dr. V's staff they were told that I missed my last appointment and that they didn't think it was necessary to have my prescriptions filled. Thus, my primary care doctor would not write me a bridge precription until Dr. V returned. Please note that the prescriptions I was taking were Nortriptyline 75mg and Clonazepam .5mg 3x/day. Dr. V's staff made the decision that stopping these meds cold turkey would be fine and not an emergency. Fortunately I was able to find a doctor at a Patient First facility that would fill my prescriptions until I could see a new doctor to manage my medications.

Dr. V was my doctor for many years, he managed my meds and I THOUGHT I could trust him,until he decided one day I should change medications. I had a horrible reaction to them. I called him and went to see him... HE SAID INCREASE THE DOSAGE and I'll see you in 2 weeks. ???? I did what I was told and almost died from the drugs. When I went back again in a few days I asked him why he didn't follow up with a phone call to me when he knew he had a patient in danger?
He said: "Patients contact me, I don't contact them" I reminded him that I had contacted him and he put my life in danger!!!! I obviously quit going to him and sought another real doctor who cared!
