Dr. Bernard Okem Ogon, MD

This office is to work with patients who are addicts. For years now I have seen these patients get treated poorly due to being an addict. Sure addicts try to get over on people and they are known for it. But being in recovery for years given not 1 dirty urine and dping what you are supposed to be doing to becone a better person then why do the staff still treat u as if you do nothing but lie or try to get over on them? Addicts have regular problems to. We go thru same things that any other person in this world does. With every day life work, kids, ect. You shouldn't walk into your doctors office and feel degraded. Or have some issues going on and the office staff don't listen they just nod and say sorry can't help you. They leave u sick to figure out what to do next. But when they don't listen and leave u with no options if you show up next time with a dirty urine then we have to pay the consiquences. Thank God I have never went and used despite the treatment I recieved when I couldn't… show up on the exact 28th day to get my prescription. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that never had to go that far as to use and start recovery all over again. I'm sure many people have lost recovery time due to this. Anyone with a little common sense can tell the difference between a person trying to get over on a doc vs a person thats been doing great and has a few speed bumps because that person is human and things happen.. smh. . I'm very positive its only about the $ for this office. They don't truly care about the addict staying clean. If they did they would not leave us stranded! for. years I see the office staff and for. years they have only had 1 girl in that office that actually cared and would listen. She actually had common sense on who was doing right and wrong. Of course she didn't last long. Now its straight back to - sorry can't help you. Just suffer and see you when your able to make it. Even the doctor has his own belief system and feels its the right one. Even tho he doesn't know the feeling himself. Its like they don't care to know the true story or really get to know how addicts truly are. We have crappy peoplle in this world that aren't even addicts. So to think every addict is the same is just rediculous. So if you don't work or have any kids or ever have any life problems this is probably the best place for you to go. But if your a regular living person then you should probably weigh your options before your treated as if you don't matter, your situation don't matter, your withdrawal just doesn't matter, and your as bad as they come. I know everyone has some person higher to answer to, but that excuse for years and years is getting very old. Especially towards the people "addicts" that aren't giving issues qnd doing what they are suppose to. Rant over.

After being paired with this doctor for me and my children, I have had no luck getting ahold of anyone from his office. Weeks of calling, visiting as well as emailing his office left me unsuccessful. How do you run a practice when your patients can reach you?
