(More) Recently began work in the White Hall area and contacted Dr. Phillips office so that I would have a family doctor nearby in case of emergencies and in regards to convenience. The scheduling clerk asked if I would be a new patient and followed that question with "have you ever taken pain medication"? I answered that I had, in the past, taken pain medications for a back injury at which point the clerk informed me that they could not write prescriptions for pain medications and that I would need to see another doctor as they could not accept me as a new patient. I was not requesting drugs of any kind. Therefore, I can only conclude that new patients are looked upon as "drug seeking junkies" who receive care from a skeptical MD who may or may not believe their symptoms are real. Therefore this doctor is basically a nurse practitioner who'd be happy to take your money as long as the diagnosis doesn't involve pain relief. I'll spend my money elsewhere.  (Hide)
