Vitality Physicians Group Practice | New Windsor

Unfortunately for my son, he was referred to this facility against my wishes by his pediatrician. 2 weeks ago today was his first visit. They never told me who he was meeting with, otherwise I would have cancelled the appointment before we even went on April 14^th, 2016. Again the ‘professional’ they stuck us with goes by the name Ginger. Mind you, my son is 4.5 years old. Very happy child that knows what he likes. Yet, through no real interaction with my son other than 10 minutes of asking me questions, she diagnosed him off the bat with ADHD. Okay not a BIG deal, but when I strongly voice NOT to prescribe my 4.5 year old son a narcotic/​controlled substance and you do it anyway telling me I’m wrong… PROBLEM! Got to the pharmacy and they asked for my ID. «For what?», I asked. They told me, because the prescription is a controlled substance/​narcotic. ARE YOU KIDDING ME… that’s the second problem. I researched the drug that was prescribed and found that in a study of the side effects, almost every child that was in my son’s age group experienced the absolute worst side effects. Since then, I have been trying to cancel the 2 week ‘follow-​up’ they tried to force on us and finally today I was able to get through to someone. The person that answered today, April 28^th 2016, was as smug as smug could be. I told him that I’ve been trying for two weeks to cancel this appointment and he said «I don’t care, you’ll still be responsible for our $ 40 charge for cancelling.» Umm… Excuse Me? I’ve since contacted my lawyer. So, if you’re a drug-​seeking junkie that doesn’t care to live or die, feel free to schedule an appointment with Ginger at Vitality. She has an opening at 3:15pm today.
