Because the hassle doctors in Anchorage got from the head of the DEA several years ago!! He went to many meetings and offices threatening them if they sign the physician statement in the MM Registry packet. All my doctors were afraid to sign it after his visit. Then this time last year I found a posting on one of my websites about a new doc coming to Anchorage to help qualifying patients get a MM card. I found the new doc to very interested in helping his patients that qualify get their MM Card. I have several qualifying diseases or conditions. I met Mike last year also, he was very professional at the introduction meeting he had for the patients scheduled that morning. I made appointments for 2 of my friends that needed a new doc to help get their MM Cards renewed also. They also had a pleasant experience. I went to "The Healing Center" doctor to get my MM Card renewed. The doctor remembered me, we had a nice visit and the new receptionist was very helpful, both my 2 friends have an appointment next month. They were not any more expensive than most the docs I see regularly for MS. The address you have is the where I went last month, they share the offices with a couple of attorneys. Sorry you had such a bad experience cannabeans, I was happy to find someone to help me get my card renewed after several years of not being able too. I had been registered since the beginning in 99 !!
