You only ever see nurses and they are all overworked/inexperience/just flat out don't care for your safety. When I first went there for help I was turned away because, and I quote "you don't have that kinda vibe". After I was finally accepted in, the nurse basically threw darts at a book to prescribe me meds, some of those combinations were listed in WebMD as having interactions. My GF had to do all the research and tell the nurse what to prescribe. When I was in between Integral Care and LoneStar Circle of Care and needed a refill of my meds before I could be seen by the new doc, the nurse refused to write a script for even a weeks worth of medications. I ended up having to go to a friend (a pdoc) and tell them I was diagnosed with bipolar and needed a med refill to get me to my next doc.
Unless you have no other choice DO NOT use Integral Care!
I pay very good money for insurance so that my illness can be treated properly and so I do not have to rely on these "last hope" services. I have spent a lot of time online looking for pdocs. Right now I am asking you guys if there is a SPECIFIC pdoc you recommend. Not a service or mental health center. I know of all of those in the Austin area already and know them well enough to avoid them.
