Maria Companioni, APRN

I just ended a visit with Teleo Video Visit with Maria Companioni, APRN, whom introduced themselves as "Doctor Campanioni."

It was a TERRIBLE visit.

First off, they are not an MD, at least not according to how My Psychiatry lists them, which is as an APRN: Advanced Practice Registered Nurse.

They are just another practitioner looking to prescribe patients medications for "off-label" use which are far more toxic in long-term use than actually safer "Controlled" Medications like Xanax and Ambien, which have been around for decades.

Immediately Maria let it be known that she will NOT prescribe more than one controlled medication and that any other controlled medications that I've been on would each need to be prescribed by a separate physician.

She cited this as "The law" which is a DANGEROUS lie. In Florida, access to controlled medications was actually expanded to include Telehealth visits! Furthermore, there is no law in Florida that prohibits her from prescribing more than one controlled substance.

I have been on these medications for years. I had SENSITIVE, PERSONAL MEDICAL RECORDS sent to this person whom just treated me as a number!

Whom made it clear that she's willing to be liable for a patient to decline in mental health by stopping medications they've been on for years versus actually treating them for their diagnosed conditions.

Based on my visit, I strongly recommend that anyone who reads this avoids My Psychiatrist and, especially, "Doctor" (who is not an MD) Maria Companioni at all costs, including that of their life.
