My Pain Management Doctors front office is denying further treatment based on my 3 missed appoints. Yet they will not hear my reason which is due to my disability. In addition, my back symptoms are getting worse and are effecting the nerves in my right hand and foot. I want to cite disability law and my right to be seen. Thanks
