I started with Dr. Shane Huber, and because of arthritis, saw Dr. Karri Huber. I truly thought she cared as a doctor, and even though I had trouble at times getting in touch with her assistant, I continued with her as a doctor. After years of trying different treatments, I was put on a pain medication to try to help me with the pain while at work. I kept all my appointments, talked to Dr. Huber about the medication, etc., and was assured it was a mild pain reliever. I was due to see her, and was never told she had switched to working one day per month in Brookfield. To make a long story short, even after two confirmations, they screwed up my appt day so I made a trip for nothing, discussed my refill in front of other patients in the waiting room until I asked for privacy, and Jenna assured me I would have my refill (and she named the medication), by the end of the week. She also told me I would have multiple calls from them that day to fix their error. I never had the calls, and had to contact them to get some answer. In the evening, Dr. Huber called and said she had decided not to prescribe this medication (I don't know if this was the only medication she stopped prescribing, or if there were others), because "they" had cracked down. She said she told her staff not to tell patients she was no longer prescribing, which is different from Jenna telling me I would have it by the end of the week. Dr. Huber made the decision two months prior, but from what she said she was not telling patients until they needed a refill or came in. I was shocked, and never having been in this situation before, angry as I felt this was simply unethical behavior. She said she was telling everyone to go to their family doctor since was no longer prescribing. I question what kind of doctor does such a thing with no notice. I called the pharmacy and my insurance company nurse on line, and both warned I could not abruptly stop this medication, since I could suffer seizures, hallucinations, etc. That sent me into a panic, it caused a lot of work for my family doctor (and my family doctor had no idea Dr. Huber had made this decision, either). I refuse to continue treatment there, since my health was jeopardized in this manner. It's just very disappointing because if this caused by a doctor one trusts, I shudder what can happen with a doctor with a poor bedside manner.
