Dr. Bernstein is great. He listens and explains things I need to know. I told his nurse at least 3 times, I DO NOT NEED MEDICATION REFILLS. I explained that I see the doctor every 6 months and every time they send a 1 year script refill. I told her I have too many pills already and I'm fine until my June appt. I left the doctor's office about 9:30 and at 9:42 I received email from my pharmacy that they were processing my new scripts but they were received too early and would be held. I knew that when I told the nurse, I don't need refills. Now I'll end up with too many pills and they will send another 1 year script in 6 months. Very frustrating.
