So, I asked him what else could I do, like with my diet or vitamins. He said he did not know. He is a first class jerk, believe me. I did a internet search on him and found out that he has had 2 DUI's and he served 30 days in jail for it last Xmas. My husband got in our car and was going there to tell him off and I had to stop him.
I wish I knew who to write to about him and get his license taken away. I would do it.
Anyway...it does no good to go on about him because I can't change that. I can only hope that the new DR is a god send.
He may be working under a limited license due to the DUIs ...hence no control DEA permissions!

Here is a link to most of the state licensing boards. Look him up in your state and see if he even has a license anymore. DUI in my state will revoke MY license if I had a DUI..that is. They are very strict nowadays. I know a guy who had a DUI and was put in jail for it, and he lost his license and had to do 1000 hrs with supervision like an intern. He was not a doctor, but I think the same rules apply. Check your state's health code, and you may see the same thing.

He may not be referring you because he is NOT LEGAL to do so.
He may be seeing patients with a revoked medical license!
He may have had his control prescribing license revoked and that is why he can no longer give you Percocet.

Some doctors engage in fraud big time, and this one may be too.
What you saw may only be the tip of a huge iceberg of problems, including drug diversion and unethical use by himself!
