It was quick, the women was sweet and helpful, and if you are like me that don't like doing this kind of thing it is very Secure with all your information. I recommend it to everyone.
Who knew that a video chat with a random stranger to verify my identity could be so lovely? Not me, probably not you either, but it was! Joseph was not only helpful, but he also made me laugh and encouraged me to follow my entrepreneurial aspirations. The chat was more of a therapy session than anything and it was free! 10/10 would recommend!
Arielle was extremely professional and helpful. I didn't expect someone to be there this late on a holiday weekend but they were. Thanks again!
The system for prescribing controlled substances is cumbersome and frustrating. From the point of view of a prescribe r, there ought to be an option in which said prescriber would be permanently authenticated without having to be authenticated anew each time he or she has to write a prescription for a controlled substance. Using "triplicates" in the "old days" was certainly simpler and infinitely more efficient.
