Well, here is an update for those who did use Dr. Branch. I called and was able to speak to one of his employees and she informed me that they have been shut down completely including his walk in clinic. The Medical Board sent a agent from the state of Texas and an agent from the DEA. His license for prescribing any and all drugs has been suspended. She stated that the Dr. is DEVASTATED.......as well as his staff. She also stated that they have been given the names of the "patients" that filed the formal complaints as she said that the lawyers for the Dr. will need these
identities for future legal trial in defense of the Dr. Aparently all it takes is ONE complaint for the Medical Board to investigate, not many or several or even 2!!!! Soooooo I guess we can only assume Castle you will be hearing from the Medical Board soon, as well a from his staff of attorneys to gain the damaged parties version, and perhaps even supeonas as a witness to the
damage the Dr. has inflicted on you and your wallet. His employee also stated that she is well aware of the person..persons who filed this complaint and much to that persons dismay they were considered non-compliant patients and they have the proof..the lack of cooperation in faxing your state ID requirement that they needed for the continuation of the RX for the Phen.The ID must be on file and some patients were not complying with this aspect of the process and then waiting the 7-10 days needed every month for your prescription to go thru your pharmacy  . Well... in any event I guess we all lost out. I expressed my gratitude for the months I did use the service without any trouble, 14 months to be exact...off and on. I was able to lose 47lbs and thankfully still have not gained it back. I expressed my concern for the staff and all the nice ladies I spoke with there every month. I am sure that they would like to hear good things about the practice as he will need emails in his defense. So on we go searching for the Doctors that will not rip us off or turn us away for the Phen. An added note I am at my desired weight now and have not taken the phen for over a month but I still feel bad for those who were in the middle of the program with his plan and never were able to finish.
