Reply to comment by shavedcow in Doctor recommendations? by Inevitable_Cap_744

When my previous doctor retired I was told the new doctor doesn’t BELIEVE IN pain medication. I have no problem with having to earn trust but I was deeply offended that my doctor makes decisions based on belief. A doctor should make decisions based on science first not beliefs. I took the phrase to mean she makes decisions based on bias. Every time I go there since then I have felt talked down to, and ignored despite never asking for pain medication. I feel like just because I took them in past they treat me like shit.

Same! My previous doctor was great. He was actually my first doctor as an adult at the age of 34. Took me in and treated my conditions relatively aggressively and I almost could not believe how much my life improved.
