    I had some difficulty getting my prescription filled both times. Last year, when this issue happened, I think my old provider filled that prescription for me. But this time, there was just so many issues that I didn't get my prescription filled for like two weeks. And eventually it got filled and the doctor and the Somebody from her office, they apologized and things are resolved for now. But I just had to call insurance and the office and my pharmacy so many times. I think it could have been avoided.
