I'll repeat that that I stopped seeing Dr. Hamnik after her DUI (the messy office and foisting me off on her PA were also factors) and would certainly stop going to a doctor who was any kind of compulsive peeper.
These are matters of public record: Hamnik was sentenced to a year's probation here for the DUI. The felony charges for illegal possession of drugs were reduced to misdemeanors and then dropped after the judge ruled she had lawful prescriptions for the 251 pills found loose in her purse.
Hamnik was given a formal reprimand in 2012 by the Virginia Board of Medicine for her behavior in that state for (1) inaccurately documenting that she had personally seen patients when she had not, and (2) being impaired to practice medicine due to mental or physical illness or substance abuse. She has since let her Virginia license lapse.

You are certainly correct in leaving her practice since she always put you with her NP's. For me, it worked out. What I needed was scrips for testing and meds. I was able to accomplish this with the NP's. Sally seemed caring and tried her hardest to get to the bottom of my problems. Unfortunately, the Nuerologists here in TV are few and far between. I did meet a new one at a lecture last week here in TV. He seems good and I may give him a try.
