Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I have had good experiences with the MDA clinics in Houston Texas and in Memphis Tennesee. I believe a lot has to do with the doctors they have on staff. The most I have ever waited for a doctor is one hour and it was explained there was an emrgency since on of the patients went into a seisure, the doctor went with this patient in the ambulance to make sure he was okay and then came back to the clinic. MDA has been very helpful in getting all my test run except they don't do a DNA test for me. but everthing else they pay for including AFOs (unfortunately the place that made the made them wrong). The doctors are happy to help me get my neurontin free and that is about 500 a month they save me . I hope you keep trying. call and discuss your problems with the lady who sets up your appointment. tell her what happened and that your prefer to have time to talk to the doctor more and see if you can be scheduled on a none children day. Both in Texas and in Memphis they have days where almost everyone they see is adults. also in Memphis I can call and talk to the nurse that accompanies my neurologist to the MDA clinic. I figure three tries and you are out. also don't forget you can call the MDA head quarters in Arizona to get further help.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Most MDA offices will help pay for things Rx'd by an MDA clinic doctor. Some also have lending closets for chairs, scooters, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Of course they do. Our office still thinks I think they paid the full $2,000, when they only paid $220.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I got my scooter from the MDA loan closet. Thank God for it! Without it I could never make it to go to the mall or for walking long distances. My Dr. at the MDA clinic is very good....she works with both my son and I....and stays on top of things much better than my family dr. In fact, when we get tests done, no matter for which dr. I always have results sent to her too. We hear from her with the results quicker then from the dr. that ordered the tests to begin with. So thank goodness for MDA....and our Dr. there.
