Other than that I pretty much agree w/ Jo*mar's assessment; these folks are working for you, and the PCP should have your back and go to bat for you when/where necessary (within his/her purview).

Thank you
Up untill this point mp PCP has been great, but now im not so sure. I am definatly going to looking for a new one. I switched to this new specialist because the other one (who did my refills not my pcp?) charged me a 50 copay to not even look at my feet after i told him things had gotten worse and treated me like i was looking for pain meds
