I'm glad you are pursuing another route. I thought from the way the website is worded that he just gave you a written prescription and you took it wherever you wanted......Sounds to me like he has something going on with a particular pharmacy-and that you'd end up getting screwed twice by that pharmacy charging an arm and a leg. Like you, I don't like the idea of not knowing up front about what medication you would get, the dosage, or even how much it will cost. It'd be a little better if you could take it to walmart or something-where you know it's cheaper.
I'm a little put off by the fact that I can't find anything on the net about this guy either. No prior patients talking about experience with him, no info on where he has practiced before this little clinic, NOTHING but an ad for this absolutely thin place.
On the first page of the registration, there are two phone numbers listed to call if you need assistance. One is all over the place, and it's the office where HE answers the phone. That's strange that he doesn't have a secretary or something. But the other number was a 212 area code I think-and I called it and it was a cell number that was answered "Hola", and when I asked if it was Dr Branch's office she had no idea what I was talking about.
Let us know what you get back from him.....when I googled his name, a hit for this site and thread came up. So that means other people looking into this will atleast be able to find something and see what your experience was-and know it's a scam before they waste their money
