Valencia Mitonya Covington

This is follow-up review to the one I completed on Valencia Covington yesterday, April 7. Today, April 8, Valencia refunded my $450. Although I am happy to have my hard-earned money back, I am saddened that it took my leaving a bad review to get my money back. Nonetheless, it is good she has recognized that refunding my money is the right thing to do and I applaud her for coming to that conclusion.

First, let me say that like Valencia, I am a nursing professional and so it does not make me happy to do this poor review on her. Also, please know that most nursing professionals are ethical, trustworthy, and honest. However, we must highlight the ones that are not as they do an injustice to the profession as a whole. Valencia is a dishonest individual. In the beginning, she presented herself as professional and honest but as the relationship progressed, it was apparent that she does not know what the word “honesty” means. I was referred to her as someone who prescribes weight loss drugs in her practice. Valencia and I had a telehealth visit and in September 2024, I paid her $450 for a month’s prescription of a weight loss drug, which she ordered and had sent to my home. We repeated the process for October and that went well also. For my November dose, I paid her my $450 but waited an inordinate amount of time and did not receive my medication. I reached out to her, and she stated… that she was having an issue with the pharmacy but that she had a dose at her office and would bring it to me, which she did. I took a break from the drug so did not order for December. In January, I spoke with Valencia about reordering, and she said that would be okay so on January 31, 2025, I sent my $450 to her via Zelle as I had done previously. She verified the receipt of the money and stated that she ordered the drug. I waited 7 days, and it did not arrive. I reached out to her to let her know that and she did not respond. I waited several more days and still she did not respond to my contact, nor did I receive my medication, so I sent her another text message on February 12, to which she also did not respond. On February 14, I sent her an email and asked her to refund my money. I received no response to my email. On February 20, I spoke with my friend who made the referral. My friend spoke with her and said that Valencia said she would call me. I received no call from her. On February 21, I sent her another email letting her know that I would seek legal counsel to retrieve my money from her. On February 23 she sent me an email saying she would send my money that week. As I write this review, it is now April 7, 2025, and I have still not received my $450 nor have I heard back from Valencia Covington. I usually do not do reviews but decided to do this one as I would hate for anyone else to be swindled out of their hard-earned money by this dishonest and untrustworthy individual. Valencia, you are a shame to the nursing profession that I love and revere so much!
