Metairie New Orleans
3 Topics FoundMy pain management doctor has gone MIA (Dr. William Knight, Metairie, Louisiana). He has gone- there's no trouble reported to Louisiana Medical Board. Just gone. The 3 months worth of prescriptions he wrote me for Norco & MS Contin are almost gone too.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! ## I live in californa and here it's called medical and it covers the clinic. I have been on the clinic for two now and I have not spent a dime so you should ask the clinic if they accept it or call your worker and find out becuase you might be able to get it for free! ## I live on the westbank... Bridge City. There is a clinic in Marrero that I go to dude. I don't think they take Medicaid but its a lot better then 25 miles away! Its ...
