Lifrak Irwin L MD

WOULD NOT RECCOMEND this Dr..if you care about your HEALTH.I was a patient with him for 5 years maybe seen him 5 times during the whole period. My current doctor says I should of been seen every 3 months, during that time.. I originally started going to his office because it was convenient location and thought I could trust him with my care. However, Since Covid came he only would do virtual consultations. I really needed visits in person since I have medical concerns. BUT. He would just call and talk and ask questions. I wonder now what was billed to my insurance during that time. He didn't show much patience for my care now I think back of my experience. Then all of a sudden I got a letter in the mail saying I was terminated from his office without any explanation. I thought he could atleast given me a reason for discharge, especially as being a professional. When I spoke with and asked why he repeated IM NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY. In addition, to not referring any other doctors or and refill prescriptions. We Never discussed anything..he lied..and left me vulnerable because I needed medication..my advice seek other care

I want to change this review that I wrote the day that me and my husband went to Doctor Lifrak. We did have trouble finding his office but that's not his fault. Obviously the GPS was not updated for his doctor's office. My husband said that he was very professional. He did not judge him for how old he was, he looked at what was wrong with my husband, and what all he has been through obviously. Cuz my husband has been through so much with his health and honestly Dr.. Lifrak understood him and took everything into consideration. I'm so sorry about the bad review for the stupid GPS.

The first thingI liked about Doc is he does not have an answering service if you need him in an emergency you call him directly. He and his staff have treated me great

I have been seeing Dr. Lifrak for 2 years now. I have been to every single appointment and never missed one or was late. He prescribed me Suboxone which is a controlled substance that I need to take on a daily basis. I went to my regular appointment with him two weeks ago, and then the day after that, I got a letter in the mail stating that Dr. Lifrak was terminating me as a patient. When I called the office to ask why I was being terminated, the receptionist told me “ask him at your next appointment because I would like to know too”. So I went to my last appointment with him today, November 29th, and I tried to ask him why he was terminating me. He kept telling me that he didn’t have to disclose that information and he wouldn’t give me a reason. Then when he wrote me my prescription which is normally for a 21 day supply he only wrote me for an 8 day supply. There was still 22 days left on the notice he sent to me. He was supposed to provide me with a 30 day supply of medication to provide me adequate time to find another doctor, but instead he only gave me an 8 day supply so now I only have 8 days to find another doctor when the letter clearly states I have 22 days left out of the 30 days. He also didn’t provide me with another list of Suboxone Doctors in the area. He never gave me a verbal warning for anything, he never discussed me doing anything wrong. He failed to provide me enough time to find a doctor. 8 days of medication when I have 22 days left under his care is not right! There is no way I will be able to find a doctor in our area in that short amount of time because we live in a rural area with not many doctors around. Now I will be out of medication before I find a doctor which will make me sick and effect my health in a very negative way!

This Dr and his employee Theresa is very ignorant and rude. I'm just hearing they are relocating. My mother attends here. They have failed to let patients know. The are very nasty with their mouths . This Dr is arrogant because he is a good doctor but you have to respect your patients and talk to them in respectful ways, he hangs up on you and will walk away during an healthy discussion. Patients come to his office for help not to be treated like I might as well go relaspe. Everybody that comes to his office is not an addict. My mother was prescribed oxycodone for knee pain and she no longer wanted them so that's the purpose of this Dr but I will be finding someone else.

He's an expert at undermedicating. 4mg of Suboxone is not sufficient. I went to another doctor, and they started me at 12mg, and adjusted it to 16mg. Now I'm off the Suboxone all together.

By far, the best most knowledgeable doctor we have ever met! Would highly highly recommend him to anyone and everyone for all of your medical needs!

DON'T GO TO THIS DOCTOR. Very unprofessional and rude. Say one thing and do another, and then is very rude.

the BEST doctor in the world on ALL levels and any arena.

Best doctor I've ever been to.
