My name is Dr Sean Breen and for the past year in Long Beach I have dedicated my practice to seeing patients for medical marijuana recommendations. Our clinic, Medical Cannabis of Southern California, is located next to Cal State Long Beach in the Los Altos Medical Plaza. I want to take a second to thank my entire staff for working so hard to reach out to our community here in Orange County. We have seen almost 5000 patients and have done good work.
If you are thinking about whether or not you can benefit from the medicinal use of cannabis I encourage you to pick up the phone and give us a call at 877-721-0047.
Here are some things to consider when deciding on what clinic (doctor) you are going t o receive your recommendation from.
1. Do not use a clinic where you are seen by a physician assistant (PA) or Nurse Practitioner. You must have your recommendation signed by a licensed physician (MD/DO). These clinics that are being run by PA’s are slowly being investigated and shut down. Your recommendation will no longer be able to be verified and you have throw away your money.
2. Do not go to a clinic that has ANY affiliation or sits adjacent or even in a dispensary. Many clinics are advertising $45 recommendations because they are being run by dispensaries who know that you are going to spend money in their store. The problem is that if the dispensary gets raided the clinic will most likely be shut down as well. AGAIN YOUR REC WILL NO LONGER BE VERIFIABLE
3. Do not fall for the $60 recommendation fee. They charge that and then the doctor only gives you a 6 month recommendation and charges you to renew. The problem is that now you have to take another day to go see the doctor for the same thing and pay all over again. THEY WILL TELL YOU ITS 12 MONTHS OVER THE PHONE…. BUT WHEN YOU SEE THE DOCTOR HE HAS A CHANGE OF HEART. ITS CLASSIC BAIT AND SWITCH.
4. STAY AWAY FROM CLINICS THAT GIVE YOU A RECOMMENDATION BUT DO NOT REQUEST YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS! By law they have to have medical records on file. Clinics like this will not be able to back up their recommendations in court and the doctor can potentially lose his license to practice.
