Letter to Dr. Harry Taylor and Shannon Suhr, NP, at Aviva Health regarding worsening cognition and physical coordination of one of their patients that they seem to over-medicate without proper monitoring.
The chiropractic board has repeatedly failed to discipline their chiropractic members for violations of state law, namely that of releasing requested medical records within the 30-day time limit set by state statute. In one particular case, Dr. Steven Finlayson of Chiropractic Spine Associates located in Roseburg failed to respond multiple times to a properly completed Release of Information form signed by his patient. It took over 130 days to get the medical records. Repeated faxes went unanswered. One of his staff was quoted as saying “Dr. Finlayson handles records personally. All I can do is leave a note.” Multiple faxes = no records. A formal complaint to the chiropractic board finally got the records sent. But after 130 days and repeated delays in patient care, the board should do more than just give Dr. Finlayson a call to get it done. Where is action to address violation of state law?

Dr. Hoyne wastes patient's time "investigating" other doctor's practices by grilling them on how they operate, what they charge, and more. Yet he charges the patient's insurance for his time that has nothing to do with true patient care!
Per a letter I wrote awhile back, I see that the Oregon PDMP is finally reporting the refills properly per my suggestion.
Pulled out some records to check some things and refreshed myself with something I had been meaning to post earlier but got distracted.
I find it amazing that so many clinics, especially pain clinics are ignoring the requirements of having pain agreements and Material Risk Notices with their patients.
