JJ,
How're you doin? I can never figure out which "commenter" a reply such as yours, JJ, is meant for. I'm going to assume you're asking about the Dr I was seeing in Akron, Oh. Unfortunately, the clinic there closed suddenly after my March '14 appt. Since then I saw a PA at Mahoning Pain aka Tiffany Pain Management. The PA there was a nightmare. I went in to my first appt where I was handed a clean catch u/a cup as soon as I signed in. Alrighty. So I give my sample and an hour later I'm called back. The PA immediately told me the syndrome I have doesn't respond to narcotic pain killers. I hadn't even mentioned any narcotic pain killers or prescription. I hadn't had a chance to say anything because she was too busy assuming all I wanted was narcotics. She practically called me a drug addict to my face as she looked over my records! Yes, I'd been in the same dose of morphine ER for 12 years but hadn't had any for 2 months. I felt composed, had had a bath that morning and applied lip gloss. She wrote me a script for Neurontin, which I'd taken 2 years prior. It made me feel homicidal. Like enraged. It was crazy. I told her this but that I'd take one and see if anything had changed since then. She shoved me out the door, telling me to come back in 2 months for a recheck. At this point I was SO trying not to cry! I went to the desk and asked if I could please have an appt with a doctor which is what my referring dr wanted me to do. Dr only sees cancer patients with the PA taking care of his others. I made the recheck appt and returned 2 months later, took the u/a as before, which was clean btw.No matter. What a complete waste of time! What a complete shrew the PA! I wish I could be of more help. My advice is Google "pain specialist physician in your town, Oh or Pa". Also, go to website called healthgrade where you can do a search for specialty drs by filling in their "formula". You can get drs names and addresses with patient reviews on the site. Good luck! I'd avoid the female PA at Mahoning pain like the plague.

Warren66,
I'm sorry to hear of your loss! I typed the following; "doctors prescribing methadone within 50 mile radius of youngstown, oh" into my Google search bar. I found eleven names. Do you have access to a computer? If not I'll happily list them for you. To be honest, I'm alone taking care of a VERY sick & whiny dog that's driving me to distraction to say the least. Let me take care of her and when someone else(namely, my husband)comes home I promise I'll get back to you. I'm in the youngstown area....

With all due respect Meranda, good luck with your search for the Dr in Ohio who'll "write anything" and is "laid back". I can't be sure about Cincinnati/Columbus area but Northeast Ohio is going without pain management as far as Dr's taking on New patients. If I were in your shoes I'd ask my retiring doc to refer me to a colleague. If it's too late and your doc has closed shop, I'd like to offer my sincerest hopes and dreams that you're able to find what you described in your post earlier. Keep is posted!

Tim, Where exactly do you live? Are you nearer to Boardman or Niles? Austinown? I also was seeing Ranieri @allied. I've been driving to Akron to a Clinic there & its not the best scenario thats for sure! There are doctors around here its just a matter of getting in with one. Do you have a Dr will refer you if you have a name? It sounds to me the closer to home for you the better especially if you're trying to take care of an elderly parent? Yikes!

May I ask the name of the Dr you were seeing? I don't think I'm supposed to drop names here but I'd be happy to give you names of those located here. You can very likely do a Google search for pain managers in the area. Why not have your pcp refer you somewhere? You're going to need some kind of referral there's no question of that. They don't make appointments for new patients over the phone without a faxed referral and very likely will request the records come from the referring Dr. Why? They don't trust that the patient hasn't made changes to them!! It's THAT bad. l
