[QUOTE="lunchbeast, post: 261973, member: 17414"] For what it's worth, I fought this battle early on as well. I got nowhere until I complained directly to Dr Saya during one of my routine appointments, at which point he volunteered that they will happily call in prescriptions to a local pharmacy, but there is a $30 admin fee for each call. I was satisfied with that, and even more so the first time I went to take advantage of the option and it was explained by the tech that the $30 is per call, not per prescription. So if I changed the pharmacy for multiple scripts all at the same time, I only incurred the $30 admin fee once. I have also been successful at getting my testosterone prescription moved several times in spite of it being a controlled substance and me being out of state in AZ. I felt Defy extended me a lot of flexibility when test seemed to be in short supply and hard to find. Several times a pharmacy would tell me they had it, only to find out they didn't and didn't know when they would AFTER I'd moved my script there. Tracked down another pharmacy, called Defy, had them move it again, only to find out said pharmacy also was mistaken about it being in stock. Repeated that three or four times, but Defy only charged me the one admin fee even though I know it was a PIA for them. Finally ended up (for now) at Amazon pharmacy - you might want to check them out. If I recall correctly, I was initially given the option of consulting with a doctor or a PA, with the PA option being a little cheaper, when I first inquired about treatment. I took the doctor option for the extra peace of mind and don't regret that. While I do occasionally have minor problems or aggravations with the staff, you'll have that anyplace you go, and I've been very happy with Dr Saya's attention and treatment. If you were not comfortable with your first consultation, I'd request to transition to one of the doctors, or a doctor specifically if you have one in mind. [/QUOTE]
