I have to have my spine fused so I understand how a lot of you feel but a doctor in Austin, Tx has really helped me physically and mentally. He is very cheap and understands the Ryan Act which is where you are only required to see him once a year and he will call for a phone consult every month to see how the meds are working and what pharmacy to call in your medication. He determines how often you see him judging by your condition and the type of medication he prescribes you. He is a really good doctor that will actually take the time to hear about your problem and really help you with your pain or other condition. I make the 5hr drive to see him every 2 to 3 months and it is definitely worth the drive. If you are interested in making an appointment or if you just have questions please email me at Endo24@live.com.
