Doctors Who Will Prescribe Methadone For Pain Management Phoenix Arizona (Page 3) (Top voted first)

I have been on methadone for about 6 years and had to start going to a maintenance clinic a few yrs ago after my pain dr lost his license here in Phoenix, Arizona. I tried going to another pain clinic after mine closed but they wanted me off the methadone and forced me to taper off of it in one week and demanded I took gabapentin which DOES NOT work and they didn't care. Anyways, I went to mmt clinic and have been there since but there are so many things wrong with it, I'd end up writing a book. Does anyone know of a pain Mgmt doc who writes methadone scripts in Metro Phoenix area?

Hello, my name is Andrew. Your husbands situation sounds exactly like mine. I doubt you'll see this but does your husband still see him? Could he refer me to his doctor?

Hello my name is Andrew. Are you a pain management doctor? If so are you accepting new patients? I currently take oxycodone 6-20 mg a day and am struggling and my current doctor just moved into a new office and they want to completely change my script amongst other things. I know this is an old posting but hopefully you'll see this. Thank you for your time.

Is methadone how they handle pain management here in az? This state is seriously screwed up with its prescribing laws and tendencies, doctors don’t even know how to properly prescribe a medication then they just take you off. But nobody should be given methadone for pain management, liquid handcuffs, gonna go through the same it not worse w/d’s off that then a pain pill.

My doctor is being reviewed by the board for prescribing me so much and could be in trouble, i don't know its all the dea they fear but the boards who license them, i have legit reasons but my tolerance is high and I'm on a TON of stuff!!! Did you find doctor? With all i am on thinking methadone may be better, on 100mcg patch every other day, 30 mg oxy every 4 hours and morphine er 100 mg twice a day

Nope, I still don't have pain mgmt dr, still at mmt clinic (notice it is a year later! IF anyone even is reading this thread?!?!) but PA there last week tells md she wants me to find a pm dr. But hey, I tried to get my PCP to send me to a new doc and they wrote referral for an orthopedic specialist, basically they are sports med. docs, that wasn't really what we talked about in the last appt., pain medicine is a LITTLE bit different!!
Did you get meds straightenened out, Jenny?
