if you're reading this & considering becoming a Lonerock Clinic patient, DON'T! learn from my mistake!! these heartless excuses for medical workers BLOCKED ME ON FACEBOOK for calling them out. well, i won't be silenced. THEY ARE DANGEROUS!
and Lonerock, before you make the excuse that you've "never had a patient by this name" like you did with Billy - yes you have. not everyone uses their full name on Yelp, and you knew me by my nickname. i have no doubts that Billy was a patient as well, you would just rather not take responsibility for your actions.

i was an established patient, and Camille was great. it obviously did not stay that way.
she took my insurance & was recommended by someone, so when i was looking to establish care somewhere i could trust not to give me even more medical trauma, it seemed like as good a place as any to do that.
then one day out of nowhere, my loved ones (one of which had become a patient there on my recommendation) started to tell me that she was cancelling appointments without warning. one of them even went all the way over there (from an hour away) before they were told that their appointment wasn't happening, even though they needed their medication.
turns out there was an issue with our insurance. Camille had filled out the wrong form (they told us they were *sent* the wrong form, but after what happened, i don't believe that one bit). they then filled out the correct form & told us they'd keep us updated on when our insurance covered them again. that it should only be a couple of weeks, and then things would be back to normal.
they never even kept us updated on anything. when i finally got ahold of her, it had gotten to the point that i told her that even once she became covered by my insurance again, i wasn't sure i trusted her enough to stay an established patient of hers anymore. she said she would give me refills until i found a new doctor, even if it took a long time because care is hard to establish in this country - BUT THEN SHE STOPPED REFILLING MY MEDICATION! i literally started HAVING MORE SEIZURES bc i had to cut down on my dosages so that i didn't run out entirely.
it took call after email after cancelled appointment just to finally decide to check the website & find out that they had removed our insurance from the listed insurance companies that Lonerock takes, without any warning. she knew that medical neglect was part of my medical trauma, promised she wouldn't be a part of the problem, and then became one of the biggest reasons i don't trust doctors.
it feels like even the ones you think you can trust to give you equitable healthcare, you can't, especially if you're on MedicAid. we deserve better. fuck this place.
disrespectfully, eat a cactus, Lonerock. read more
