Neurologists - Greenville, NC

"I went in to establish myself as a new patient. The nurse and the rest of the staff was great. When Dr. Evans entered the room I extended my hand to shake hers and she hesitated like I was contagious. I have had MS since 2001. I brought in all of my medications including pain meds I had left over from an oral surgery I had in August just to prove I do not abuse medications. I told her the two medications I am on to control my pain was working well and also told her what types of medications I had bad reactions to. I have lived in this body for 51 years and know how my body reacts to medications. She flat out told me that I was not going to tell her what she can and can not prescribe. She also told me she was not going to rewrite one of my medications even though it worked well for me and I take under the prescribed dosage. She wanted to send me to a pain management center when she has the authority to write the prescriptions I need. I am not made of money and have to pay a $50 co-pay every time I see a specialist. She did not listen to me at all and told me that she was there to treat my MS. Well since there is no cure her job is to treat my symptoms which she apparently doesn't want to do. She wanted me to to get another MRI and I told her I didn't have $2500 for another MRI. She flat out told me in her holier than thou attitude that "I guess we're done here". I had an MRI done two years ago. Since I pay my insurance premiums and my co-pay she works for me and she did not provide the service that my insurance company and I paid for. "
