I went to my first appointment at 4pm and I didn't get out of his office until 4am. I would have just left but since I didn't have insurance I could not get help any place else. I am in have been in severe pain for years. I got oxycodone 30mg and Xanax 2mg my first visit and I overdosed because they were just too strong. It would have been nice if the DEA would have left my suboxne DR away because I was doing so good and I was working and paying my child support and living a normal life. I think that the DEA has finally figured out that suboxone helps people live a normal life and they are not high all the time. It took the government decades to figure out that some people can not have traditional pain killers like oxycodone and vicodin. I will never understand why they busted DR Larry Lea, he was helping a lot of people that were in pain or addicted to drugs. I will never understand why.

He was a very knowledgeable doctor when it came to alternative meds. I was given medicine for what he thought was gout in my toe and it mad me so dizzy i couldn't even drive he made me lay down in his office for an hour and half until it wore down some. Ending result i had a pinched nerve in my foot that had to be removed by a real surgeon. Always really late and had a terrible bedside manner even crossed the line once which is why i switched doctors. I never was able to retrieve my medical records from him or his staff and he tried to sue me for a bill that was already paid to him through 3 different collection agencies.GOOOOOOD RIDDDINS TO HIM!!!!!!! HE should have lost his license a long time ago.

This doctor is so busy he doesn't really have time for his pts.He is good at what he does.You sometimes have to wait3 to 4 hrs the waiting room too see him. He changes his hours without notice. Crazy hours 7a to 10a on two days the the other are suppose to be until 7p.You can almost never get ahold of anyone in the office even on days he is in the office.It's hard for the pharmacy to reach him for refills sometimes it takes up to a week.His bedside manners are terrible.Schedules test you don't need.If you miss one appt he won't schedule you for a month or more out. Doesn't know if you called in to cancel or not. Staff changes frequently. Insists he see you every month wheather you need him or not.
