I am a Lyme Disease patient. I have been suffering with the disease for over ten years un-diagnosed until recently. Two months ago, I was refereed to this Dr for treatment as there are few doctors in the state that can effectively treat it. During this time I was also filing for disability. I had put this doctor on my application for disability, not as someone I had seen yet, but as someone I was referred to, and going to see on the 11th, just so they already had this information. The state sent there office a request for records for whatever reason, which the receptionist so condescendingly said was "very strange", suspicious, insinuating that I must have been doing something wrong.. I was automatically approved for Maine care simply because I applied for disability. I pay for another health insurance, and even offered to pay out of pocket. On top of that I told them I would be willing to cancel Maine care, just to be able to go see him. Today, a week before my appointment with Mr Dubocq, I was called by his office and was told that he is no longer going to see me because I was approved for Maine care. He doesn't want to care for these people any more, and is no longer accepting Maine care patients. Even after I explained that I put them down as a doctor I was GOING TO see, not that I have already seen, and I was absolutely willing to cancel Maine care and use my other insurance, or even pay out of pocket to see him I was turned down. A week before my Dr apt, after I have waited two months to see this man, they tell me he is not going to see me because I filed for disability, was put on Maine care, and the state requested records, which they find suspicious and very strange........ No suggestions of who I could go see to help me, nothing but too bad, basically they don't trust people who are filing for disability, that are willing to pay for there treatment however they need to, even canceling other insurance and paying out of pocket. I have never been so sickened by the lack of caring and concern in my life. This is the worst experience I have ever had. It was hard enough to find this Dr who I had such high hopes of finding even just a little relief from this horrible disease. Thank you for wasting so much of my time, and making it that much harder to get healthy.
Dr. Dubocq is one of the most knowledgeable and caring doctor's I have ever met. I have know doubt he saved my life. He does not rush me through my appointment, he listens, connects all the dots and NEVER gives up. I may wait a while for my appointment, but I never mind because I know I will get all the time I need from him, too.
