Find Out Who Prescribes In Your Area

I'm not surprised, I almost sent you a PM regarding this. How did you use it to your benefit? Did you just look for the highest prescribing pain doctor?

 
This is so awesome! Thank you Bjenkins, I found my APRN right away and just had some of my questions about her answered.

Basically, yes. I'm looking for a doctor who will be at the minimum willing to prescribe medication. Some seem like they won't at all. Now you don't have to guess.The full site allows you to search by the doctors prescribing the highest percentage of schedule 2 drugs. The top in my state had over 90% of patients on schedule 2s.

Will see if I can find someone in my area....fingers crossed.

 
Good luck! Use your desktop/ laptop for best results. I noticed the mobile version seems harder to navigate.

Thank you, I will try that. I was on my phone and felt like I was missing something.

 
Thanks so much for this particular topic. The website has a wealth of information. One of my local doctors has over 25,000 claims where everyone else averages between 1000 and 5000. Also this particular doctor $ is over a million whereas most are in the K's. Very useful info!

 
I was amazed to see a doctor in Tampa with over 90% of patients on schedule 2s. It is probably also a double edged sword. On one side you find a doctor willing to help with your pain issues and the other side maybe not so concerned with finding the underlying problem. I am using mine to get the help I need managing pain while getting the referrals to see the specialists who may be able to help me nail down my issues. 

 
Well, I experienced my double edged sword yesterday. I went to my appointment at 2:00 and sat waiting to be seen until nearly 5:00. The doctor was more concerned with me being LE than addressing my issue. He did however finally write a script for nor co along with the referrals for xrays I need to get referrals for an mri. All in all I think I'll be looking for a new general practitioner, but this guy really is a pill dispenser if you have a good reason.

What did he do/say that made you think that he was worried you were LE?  And do you know if doctors have a maximum or a ceiling on the amount of sch. 2 they can prescribe?  I was thinking I would make my appt. with not the top prescriber but maybe the second or third.

 
He came into the room and his first questions were " What are you on, if I drug tested you right now what would I find? " He asked me why I showed up for a physical and then complained of pain. I haven't been to a doctor for so long I said I thought that was what we had to do first. I told him all I really wanted from him was a referral to get an MRI done. It wasn't until after I'd shown him the stretches i do each night to releive my sciatica that he seemed to change. He came back in with a pain assessment chart and paperwork asking if I was LE. He asked me to my face if I was LE.

I don't know about maximums in general but he did tell me he couldn't prescribe stronger than hi dro until I had my xrays and or MRI done. He gave me 35 for 11 days at which time I am to return with xrays in hand. He said walgreens would hassle me and sent me to a mom and pop pharmacy.

I truly want to get my back fixed, and I truly need some pain relief until then. I think he's just so inundated with junkies its his first reaction to suspect that I'm either a junkie or a cop.

Thank you MA I am also in Tampa and now drive over an hour to my Dr. for my prescription.  Hopefully now I can find someone in the neighborhood without wasting a lot of fruitless visits. 

 
This is an amazing website! Thank you so much for sharing this with the community. I'm in the process of sourcing a different PM Doc and this is very valuable info!!

 
Thanks for the amazing link!  I am surprised at the results for my doc in Horseheads, NY. The whole place seems to give out a lot of scripts but the numbers were not nearly what I thought they would be.  Only 26% for this doc who mainly sees 65+.  I had no issue once he knew my condition, guess I got lucky.  

 
I just wish I could find a doc in my area that would prescribe x@n@x without a hassle . Used to have several that I knew that would . Now all of them will not take new patience.

  1. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  11. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
