This intake meeting was an hour an twenty minutes, the provider spoke to me in a way that felt challenging and invalidating while I gave an oral report of my mental health history. After the hour and twenty minutes the provider told me she did not prescribe the full range the kind of meds I was looking for. Only extended release and no short release stimulants which is a problem as I have always been prescribed both. She told me I would have to go to two separate appointments with other providers for a physical and a drug test which was misleading because she appeared under the hybrid schedule but she herself is only online + I picked her because she appeared close to my job on a map. She told me that the time slots later in the evening were only for intake appointments which was misleading because I chose her practice for the 7pm time slot that wouldn’t interfere with my job.
