Bonanza Clinic — Local services in Bonanza

Takes a week just to get my chart notes in so I can get my pre authorization of VERY important medication and makes me sit for DAYS off my meds because they don't care what kind of pain in puts you in. And this is NOT for pain management, this is for a rare bladder disease that takes special meds for it and they won't do anything to help but drag their dang feet as much as possible till i call in crying for help then they say oh we will start on it now, but then it takes insurance another 3 days to process then needs to be filled at pharmacy. AND they refuse to give any help during this. This is UNHEALTHY for people to do, you are not suppose to stop medication like this and specially not abruptly. They don't care.

UPDATE: My last pre authorization for my meds only took 2 days (after I called the doc office myself, pharmacy had contacted 4 days before that) which is the first improvement to the issue since I posted above previously.... BUT my last appointment I left crying, I don't know if the doctor was having a bad day but he was very mean, I was trying to ask for an update for a referral to my ENT because the Urgent Care forgot most of the reason for the referral in the first place. This was asked of me by the ENT doctor and i told Dr. Sheets (bonanza clinic doc) that I went to specialist and that they were the ones that asked me to do this and he blew up asking me why I was self diagnosing and that I need mental health care (already am and he knows this) for my severe TMJ and there is nothing wrong with my ears. I told him I saw specialist already and THEY were the ones saying there was issues before he FINALLY listened to what I said and wrote the referral. BTW, I ended up having severe eczema in my ears... nothing indeed... and I need a jaw surgeon because of how bad my jaw is... again, this has nothing to do with pain meds, I know a lot of people who complain about docs not giving pain meds but they skirt around it in reviews but I have not once asked for pain meds nor gotten them the entire time I've known Dr sheets and I have not gotten them nor asked for them from anyone else in this situation either. Another thing, I had questions of Dr sheets about menopause because I've had a hysterectomy and was having issues that may be pre menopausal things and he told me to just ask my mom or grandma cause it's almost always the same for a family line. We've all gotten hysterectomies at different times in our lives and even if we hadn't, I've found that statement to be untrue. After explaining this he said there is no way to know if I am or not and there is no treatment for the symptoms anyways so go home and deal with it like everyone else. So if you are female and have female issues, Dr Mike Sheets is probably not for you. PS the female issue and ENT referral issue were same visit and I had an older friend from church with me (I needed support and a ride cause my dad just had died) that backs up my story. I promise I wasn't just being a "karen" (I hate using that term) I'm a very submissive people pleasure type of personality. In fact writing this is giving me an anxiety attack cause I hate being mean even though I'm only saying truth of what happened.

One good thing about the clinic.... you can just walk in any day and be seen that day with average couple hour wait cause they don't do appointments, only walk ins. Probably not a long wait cause it's in such a small town and its 30min from center of klamath falls. If this was in town KF it wouldn't be that way. So if you urgently need a doctor to hold you over till you can get a better doctor in town which right now is a 5 month wait for appointments. So I will give this clinic that. AND the nurses are really nice at least.

ALSO Dr Sheets, on my other visits, was very fast and to the point and seemed knowledgeable so I didn't have to sit around trying to explain myself and actually knew about my rare bladder disease which most docs don't so I didn't have to convince him about the expensive meds I need for it, so I thank...

I was treated like a drug addict cause i was prescribed pain meds years ago and none since. I have degenerative ankylosing spondylosis in my spine which all doctors are given a quota and still allowed to treat severe pain for this severe disease but he denied it until he sees the results of a blood test proving i have it. News flash there is no blood test for it, only an mri can definitely show spondylosis. Now spondylitis can show for inflammation but spondylosis is degenerate not inflammatory. So mri is the only way. I have 2 mri that clearly shows i have it but his personal oppinion is in the way of his professional oppinion on this with his rash decision. Hes a quack. And i will be reporting him. Its malpractice and derogatory to medical ethics and the hypacratic oath he took when given his license. This is patient stereotyping and discrimibatory...

We'll have to do this somewhat publically. My disabilities extend beyond .my hearing. Finances are not the least of that extension. Driving has become extremely painful as I am unable to shift to a more comfortable position when the sciatic nerve decided to visit it's furies on my hip leg and back. I have gone with out food rather than drive to town for groceries. I choose not to expend the time pain or gasoline to make an hour and a half drive to do a face to face review of my recent test results. I have recognized the typical aggravation of a heart attack sufferer when having to deal with my hearing loss. I am sorry for your debilitating condition but wish you could grasp ho debilitated I am presently. Send my test results by mail and I'll not further...
