Hashim Chothia DDS MSD

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am receipt of your letter dated October 13, and have noted the contents thereofI have attached the response to the letterAlthough I did not see the patient myself, the Associate doctor did She is a skilled, kind and compassionat e person, and the allegation s
against her are nothing short of ridiculousRecently we are once again inundated with requests for prescription medication sALL medications are prescribed at the doctor 's discretion and when we have people asking for medication s by name it raises red flagsThe DEA is doing regular utilization reports now and we have to abide by their rulesWe DO NOT MAKE THE RULES , but we are required to PAY THE FINES IF WE BREAK THEM! The problem has reached such enormous proportions that the DEA is cracking down severelyIf there is a problem with the way we prescribe the medication s, please ask the patient to contact the DEA directly and lodge a complaint that we are NOT PRESCRIBING STRONG NARCOTIC ANALGESICS which they feel entitled to have
The clinical notes from the doctor and the staff are attached for your review If you require any further information please feel free to call our office
Sincerely,
MJ
