Had a Hysterectomy a week before and a psychiatrist appointment who also drug tests me. I've never failed a drug test. She wouldn't let me give blood at my expense, a more advanced urine test. Nothing. She wanted me gone and made that up. I got a notice labcorp has class action law suit. So I logged on to labcorp and the orders to test my urine said " problem requested " ? Then the lab said the sample hadn't been refrigerated and couldn't test. Then " written instructions ". Then the fentanly parent drug was 27 and metabolite was 0. The metabolite norfentanyl is what shows your taking the fentanly. My patient id had changed. I had legit spine problems and no where to go. I don't do illegal drugs. She could have been straight up. I have degenerative disc disease and I haven't been seeing anyone. I lay in the bed every day. I fell 10 days ago and broke my lumbar 1 burst fracture. Has anyone else been accused of false positive? I thought they were nice too until they lied to ky face and wouldn't let me go to hospital for another drug test or do whatever they wanted. They sure charged my insurance alot. Im still pissed off and if I could sue them I would especially seeing the labcorp notes. Sketchy AF.

I don't call him doctor because he didn't treat me with the standard of care provided by an MD. Not in the US anyway. I have serious doubts about his motivation. $$$$ I suspect. There's nothing wrong with that if you are paid because you have a skill, talent etc. I didn't witness the skills of a doctor in Sanapati. He came across as a very bad character actor trying to portray an angry Indian doctor with poor English speaking skills. This character and clinic needs to be investigated by the FBI, DEA, TN Medical Board and any other relative agency. Perhaps a class action lawsuit by a motivated attorney would get his attention . Good luck and God Bless.

He takes his medicine, PRN-when needed. he also suffers from PTSD. What I witnessed when he came out was something I have never seen before. it is his story to tell, but what I will advise, always have an advocate with you. Before scheduling, ask who you will be seeing . If it is this one, I would definitely ask for someone else. you should be seen as a person seeking help in a safe environment.

Being a former patient of Northstar for almost a decade I must say the staff from the front desk to…read morethe nurse assistant and lab technician have been nothing but nice throughout the years. They all accommodated my pain and different ability. Until recently when all the nice doctors or practitioners nurses and even lab techs left Northstar. I was handed to a lady named Karen that never asked or was concerned about my well-being. The energy left when I was assigned under her care. A physical mishap happened to me and I repeatedly called and This lady purposely didn't respond to my messages about my pain. (As I was told) Then this lady went on and accused me of something on my mother's grave I'd never do. This lady has caused a case of defamation of character. Today I departed with North Star because Racism is so real. This is a poem I wrote about this situation. Let me be very transparent..... Why did the universe send me a Karen... The stress is wearing... I find myself swearing.... I pray to heaven ... Knowing God is caring.... My goal in life is prosperity and peace. Simply because the enemy is working without cease. I try to live a life of balance ..... But this brown skin girl has been challenged..... I never imagined people in the medical field would abuse their authority.... My health, my reputation and character is my main priority. I've read about it, cried about it, prayed about and now I finally have some personal experience. I demand equality and respect and I will make a difference..... Over fifty years ago Dr. Martin Luther King had a dream. And yet we're still pleading "Let Freedom Ring" To think where in another century and still being pulled by the white man string. I will stand tall and justice to my name I'll bring .... If you don't stand up for something you'll fall for anything.... ©

Northstar pain management had two locations. One in Murfreesboro, TN and one in Cordova, TN. I was…read morea patient at the Murfreesboro office which was abruptly and permanently closed. I received a generic letter in the mail explaining I could travel to Cordova to continue my medical care. I live in Nashville, my only form of transportation is a wheelchair accessible uber. It would cost approximately $500 to take a monthly trip to Cordova. Not only do I not have the financial means but my body physically could not endure a 6 hour round trip every 28 days. I have repeatedly tried to contact any and everyone both at the Murfreesboro office prior to phones being disconnected to the Cordova office. I do not have my medical records because they weren't provided to me. I have asked for them over and over. They are legally my medical records. I can't go to another pain doctor without them. Because of that, I had to detox off on my medications at home which is dangerous. I'm now in more pain than I have ever been & have been trying with zero success to get my medical records. I also have been trying to find a sympathetic pain doctor who will see me without my records and referral from my last pain doctor. I haven't been able to do that. I've been trying for 8 months. I had hoped that they would have handled this professionally but it is quite clear that won't be the case.
