Funny, I've been prescribing medical cannabis since 2021 and I just read in the news that Texas has become the 40th medical cannabis state. Huh! I guess it's a big surprise for someone?
The great news is that the list of qualifying medical conditions has expanded to cover more health problems. See below.
In search of help for my own rare autoimmune condition, I found many things that were beneficial. But in some cases they are taboo or stigmatized. During that search, I discovered that cannabis has a true value in obtaining better health for many people. After becoming a doctor who listens to her patients, I cannot justify withholding cannabis from those who need it.
We can proceed with in-person appointments, which are preferred if you live in or near the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Or, if you are unable to come to the clinic, we can have a telehealth visit.
We also perform ordinary primary medical care such as annual check-ups, managing diabetes or high blood pressure, treating colds or flu, prescribing medications, etc. Contact us if you need a primary care doctor.
You can visit our webpage at https://ramiturner.com for more information on our services for people who just need a doctor who is also cannabis friendly.
There is no telling what was the final straw. Maybe it was the TDAP vaccine. Maybe it was the accumulation of cognitive dissonance from hustling patients out the door with minimal care due to corporate dictates. Maybe it was previous trauma and stress in my life, or maybe it was just going to happen. We all get something.
I went to medical school because, over and over again, I would go to a doctor only to be rushed out. I felt that my issues were not even "on hold", but simply dismissed. I wanted to be different. I wanted to be a doctor who pays attention to the patient. After all, we see what happens in many cases when a patient is not heard. For me...well...I am disabled for life unless I find a cure for the autoimmune disease called SPS.
First of all, I can't see tons of patients. My body will wear out. But I can see three or four, and sometimes five patients in a day. I have a wonderful nurse practitioner who works with me. She can't prescribe cannabis but she can get you prepared for your appointment and even make a diagnosis in some cases so that you don't have to send medical records every time to prove your eligibility under the Texas Compassionate Use Act. Between the two of us, we have the ability to take extra time with difficult cases.
We have survived the most difficult year, the first year, and we are still here ready to move forward to see more of you. We also focus on weight loss, hormonal imbalances, general medicine, and much more. Call us for an appointment, or you can visit my other website at ramiturner.com
Click the "We Take You Seriously" button below to learn more about the doctor you are choosing. If you make an appointment with me, we will have a genuine discussion. I actually care about what you are going through, and encourage those who can to come to the clinic in person for a full visit.
Telehealth is still okay, of course, for patients hundreds of miles away. But no matter the distance, I still actually care. I won't keep you tied up on the phone, but I won't send you away with questions unanswered or instructions not available. Even if you forget something we discussed, you can call the office to get reminders.
