I don't feel that a complete physical takes place anymore, ever since I went through menopause. And sometimes I feel pressured to take prescription medication I don't feel I need; I will advocate for myself if I felt I needed something other than what I am taking (and I've been taking it for many years). Also, I'm very distressed to learn that Dr Dardeno will no longer be in my insurance network and I am not happy having to find another physician I like as much, that knows me S well as Dr Dardeno does. I will be fighting this as far as I can, I also don't want to change my insurance company from what I have and am happy with.
