Dr McClain has been trying to treat me for Rheumatoid arthritis for over two years with no success.  He prescribed a new medication a month ago and the pharmacist would not fill it since it would cause afib problems with my heart condition.  Then he prescribed a medication that he had already prescribed two years before that didn't work.   He is not reviewing his patients medication history prior to prescribing. His staff has not responded to calls for a month despite multiple calls asking for a new prescription.
