Dr. Brent Laarz With the West Coast AIDS Foundation The Doctor who arbitrarily dismisses patients to cover his own insecurity. New Port Richey, Florida
For several years I was a loyal patient of Dr. Brent Laartz. I did everything and anything that this doctor told me to do even when he was doing little to nothing for me other than to prescribe large amounts of Morphine. Then one day, I recieved a letter from Dr. Larrtz's office telling me that I was being dismissed from their practice for "Non-compliance". Needless to say, I was floored by this.
I contacted Dr. Laartz's office to find out why they were saying that I was being non-compliant. I was told that because I had requested that they send in the next month's prescriptions to the pharmacy a week earlier that they were due, I was being non-compliant. I explained to them that the month before, I had gone almost a weekend without my pain meds because the pharmacy that I was with (AHF) had recieved the prescriptions late from the doctor's office.
I explained to them that I was under no circumstances trying to get my meds early but rather that they send the scripts early to the pharmacy. They would not hear of it and told me that I needed to find another doctor. I then contacted the pharmacy and requested that the head pharmacist send Dr. Laartz a letter explaining the situation. She did but still they would not take me back.
I went for a long while before I was able to find a local doctor to take me back but I am infuriated at the fact that this docotr, Dr. Laartz, who never really did anything for me, other than to spew numbers and surveys and percentages, was accusing ME of being non-compliant.
The worst part of it is that because of what he said, I could not have the doctor that I REALLY wanted to take me as a patient because they belong to the same practice and once one of the doctors dismisses a patient, none of the other doctors will take the dismissed patient as their own.
Dr. Laartz's saying that I was Non-compliant truined it for me from getting actual quality care. I am HIV+ and good quality care is essential to my well being and my life. There are so few GOOD HIV doctors in the Tampa Bay area and the one doctor that I believe IS ACTUALLY a good and reputable doctor, now will not take me because of what Dr. Laartz said about me.
Dr. Laartz is one of these yuppy Dr.s who was born with the golden spoon in his mouth and went to Ivy Leauge schools. He is one of those doctors that got to where he is, not becuase of his expertise or knowledge but rather becuase of the money he comes from and the people he knows. When asked any serious questions, he will dance around the answers by spewing percentages, and numbers, and surveys and so on, and so on. SOMEONE HAS TO STOP HIM FROM DOING THIS TO OTHER PATIENTS!!!!
