For some reason the OB/GYN's at Legacy push Gabapentin for pain and NEVER want to prescribe actual pain medication when it's necessary. This stigma has GOT to stop! It is doing actual harm to people. Including after surgery!! I have actually decided to have my upcoming and all future surgeries elsewhere because I'm terrified I will not be properly cared for, concerning pain, after surgery.

Dr. Pendergrass was very thorough. She did not rush and took the time to fully explain the plan for care and the reasons for each part of the plan.
