I don’t usually do reviews, especially negative ones, however if 1 is ever warranted it is here. I would give negative stars if I could. Marcantel and her husband are experts at collecting money, and nothing else. They work as a team and it was very clear to my wife and I both that this is their top priority and expertise. Marcantel (she can’t decide if her 1st name is Tina or Mary), after our 1st visits, would always request a phone call with us to “go over lab results”, and she would time it to be EXACTLY the time slot that she decided to charge us for, I mean down to SECONDS. This happened both to my wife and I, we both checked to see. She would act like she cared and talk about unnecessary things with us both until the hour was up, and then abruptly end the call. I have a severe under active thyroid which has only gotten worse under Marcantel’s “care”. When the medication I was prescribed by Marcantel was pulled off the shelves nationwide by the FDA, as has happened several times over the years with natural meds, I had to explain to Marcantel that using a Compounding Pharmacy would be the best as the ingredients are precise for both T4 and T3. She should know this after so many years. She was argumentative through text, angry that I wouldn’t call for another “Quick paid phone call”, and initially dismissed my wants and needs for this medication. Eventually, after several angry texts from her (I kept the texts), that she would be on vacation for 2 weeks and this was my last time to call or I would be without meds for 2 weeks minimum, when I didn’t call she did eventually call in the prescription to the Compounding Pharmacy, that had a small amount left of the pills left over from the FDA recall, she did not have them manufacture the precise ingredients that I needed and asked for, but more of the recalled pills. The Compounding Pharmacy now routinely compounds this medication due to the recall, and offered to do so for me when I called for a refill, we only needed Marcantel’s permission, and I still had 4 refills left on the prescription THAT SHE CALLED IN HERSELF, and like always Marcantel refused to do so, and left me without a supply of meds until I can locate another Dr. and start the process over again. She likely wanted another paid call, labs, go over the labs etc..she also recommends using supplements from a specific brand. I would not only pass by this “practice”, based on both my personal experience and my wife’s, but run from it. You have been warned!
