Dr. Baksh has a policy regarding the prescribing of controlled substances, and every patient who receives a prescription for controlled substances needs to read and sign an agreement regarding these medications. The agreement can be viewed in the Patient Welcome Pack. Not all patients are candidates for this type of medication, and not all patients will benefit by this type of medication. Each patient will be evaluated on an individualized basis and some may not be a candidate for this type of treatment.
In order to protect your health and Dr. Baksh’s prescribing ability, patients are monitored very closely for possible addiction, abuse, and diversion. This monitoring may include frequent follow-up office visits, urine drug screening, and the sharing of medical records between your physicians and your pharmacies. You should not expect to receive a prescription for a controlled substance at your first visit, and Dr. Baksh reserves the right to not take over the prescribing of controlled substances from other physicians on a case by case basis.
