Poor. The MD that I saw was totally un-interested in hearing about my history. I took medical records and lab reports to verify what I had been being treated for. I thought that since I had been a patient at the Montecito office a few years ago that my current condition would update my file. I have been being treated for multiple connective tissue diseases. This MD immediately stated that I could not have Lupus since my facial rash was not present ( he's wrong) he also stated that a ANA blood test was the most accepted test to confirm Lupus ( wrong again)' then he made me sign an opiate user contract stating I won't abuse my meds,no [redacted]!! I've been using Hydrocodone for over 18 years.. He also states that if I get an Rx from any other providers or use a different pharmacy that I will NEVER get another RX...rather extreme. Chronic pain was been a part of my life for 39 years and I am upset that this MD only addressed what he wanted to. Referred to Rheumatologist and Ortho.
