Im in a position to where I can't always pay a fee. Some days I have to decide between buying food r paying bills. I do my best i dont get enough funds. Some days I go to bed hungry r not eat n the little i do have is enough for junk food. With my health i don't know what else to do. I do know I stress about my bills, how im going to eat among other things. In all Prisma is doing a great job. Thank u

Dr.Kari Allen is the worst doctor I ever had she showed hardly any sympathy to my concerns she didn't even examine me she left the room before I could finish asking questions about my health she only read notes from other doctors I felt bad leaving like I wasted my time coming in

Allowing the providers to lower the price of medication medication is just too expensive
