Had made arrangements back in early March to have an appintment with their Rheumatologist in order to have a local specialist along with my home state specialist to oversee my RA and my infusions while in Florida. Saw the specialist. Got the prescription and was referred to the Florida Cancer Center. They wanted me to see their doctor who is not a Rheumatologist and was told that doctor would decide what meds I would get. TVH will honor my specialist's prescription. In the meantime had to return to my home state to get my infusion.
SHOULD HAVE CHECKED WITH YOU FIRST! THANKS AGAIN.

I don't know who told you that the Florida Cancer Center doctor would decide on your meds. My wife was prescribed a medication by her Allergist, and we made arrangements with the FCC to get her injections. We did meet with one of their doctors and never, repeat never did the topic of a different medication come up.
You should spend some time there and see what they do, how they treat their patients, and how fantastic this facility is.
