Dr. Ronald Paul Vandegriff, DO

This Dr took over for Dr Anthony Tomassi when he left 430 North 2nd st Reading PA. I was on my medications with no problem for 9 years and he comes in and says I don't need them. He thinks tizanidine is a narcotic or a controlled substance when it is not either. It is a muscle relaxant. He took me off my percocet klonopin and tizanidine that I have been on with no problem at all for 9 years. Unjustifiably. For absolutely no reason other than he is a white racist who thinks everyone who lives in a poor area must be a drug addict. With absolutely no regard for the danger of withdrawal, grand mal seizures or death from withdrawal from 3 medications at the same time that need to be tapered. But I should not be off my medications at all because I never abused them, sold them, traded them, did anything but what I was supposed to do with them. I had the hospital send my medical records over there and they claim they never got them. I have a signed receipt for the date and time they were sent… there. I brought a print out of all my meds from CVS and he didn't care. He said I don't need to take my inhaler or my prevacid. This Dr doesn't want to give people their medications. Any medications. Pain medications or any medications. Why is he a Dr??. I have high blood pressure. I could die detoxing off meds I'm not supposed to be taken off of. The general lack of concern for people just because we live in a poor area is palpable. Don't see this Dr at 430 North 2nd St in Reading PA

Conscientious, caring

Very rude and talks about his own staff
