@audriana ,
Thanks again for the info. That is quite interesting that clinic is offering this treament/therapy. A good thing, I hope for that community. It's just unusual to see that being done by a general practice clinic by a GP physician! I hope Pinehurst works for you.

From what I understand, the program is the first of its type in the US and was designed to serve the rural community. When I spoke with Andrew last week, during the height of COVID, he was administering Spravato via housecalls. Amazing!
I hope the Benson clinic works out for you.
Have you had Soravato treatments?
Even though I was seeing my primary psychiatrist through CFVMS, (and continue to do so) Carolina Psychiatry offered the REMS protocol treatments. I was monitored by a PA and medical assistants took my vitals, handed me the Spravato and observed me as I administered the nasal sprays...I have no idea why Dr.Chowdery discontinued the program. There is a void, a desert in Fayetteville NC when it comes to treating individuals with mental illnesses through the use of the most up-to-date methods.
I am going to ask my psychiatrist to contact the psychiatrist at the Pinehurst office. I'm motivated by something you said regarding the value of my health. If I needed Chemotherapy and a designated driver, I would push the issue...I know--I'm a cancer survivor and had to go to Duke Oncology in 2006-07.
Thank you @clutch
