BVCHD Family Health Center Bear Valley Community Hospital Aju Alex, MSN, MBA, PMHNP-BC Carly Bronson NP Refused to prescribe Mental Health Medications Big Bear Lake CA
Do not go to this clinic for mental health or benzodiazepines. I just moved back to the area. I suffer from extreme PTSD from childhood abuse. I initially made an appointment with Dr. Carly Bronson, who has prescribed 6-month prescriptions for Alprazolam many times over the previous years. Carly Bronson told me that the clinic does not prescribe Alprazolam even though she has written the prescription many times in previous years.
I was told to make a psych appointment with Aju Alex. The appointment with Aju Alex was a week later. During the whole appointment, I felt as if I was being treated as a drug user. The doctor was giving me strange looks and making me feel really uncomfortable. Aju Alex told me I would have to get off the medication after being prescribed it by multiple doctors over the last 18 years, including a doctor from this clinic.
I could barely drive home, suffering from multiple panic attacks. It is now almost 2 weeks since the initial visit and I have no prescriptions. Not even for the Paxil that was supposed to be prescribed by both doctors and was sent to my pharmacy. I will have to suffer possible deadly withdrawal symptoms such as seizures.
I will have to do a cold turkey withdrawal from both the Alprazolam and the Paxil at the same time. I will be contacting a malpractice attorney and the local/national media, Medical Board of California. I hope the doctors at the Big Bear clinic will like being subpoenaed to testify in court. This clinic does not care about their patients and has exacerbated my PTSD tenfold.
