I’veLong-Term Patient Feeling Disappointed by Recent Care been with Better U for several…
I’ve been with Better U for several years, and for a long time I genuinely felt supported and grateful for this program. Ketamine therapy helped me when other options hadn’t, and I’ve recommended Better U to others in the past based on my early experience. Over the last several months, though, I’ve grown increasingly concerned. Since a pharmacy change, the medication no longer feels consistent with what I previously received at the same prescribed dose. I’m not claiming wrongdoing — but as a long-term patient, the difference has been noticeable and unsettling. Continuity of care has also become a significant issue. I seem to have a new doctor or provider nearly every appointment, which makes it difficult to build trust or feel that anyone truly knows my history. Phone calls are rarely returned, and when I do need to schedule a doctor appointment, the wait can be up to two weeks. One experience in particular was especially difficult. Around Christmas, my prescriber did not send my prescription to the pharmacy for over a week, even though I had clearly explained that I was out of medication and that the holiday period is a very hard time for me emotionally. I shared that I was struggling and having flashbacks. Despite this, it took four separate phone calls before anything moved forward, and responses only came via brief text messages days later. That lack of urgency and follow-through was deeply disappointing. I’m sharing this publicly because repeated attempts to resolve these issues privately haven’t led to improvement. When you’re already dealing with stress and mental health challenges, these kinds of delays and communication gaps don’t just feel frustrating — they add to the burden. I want this to work, and I’m not trying to attack the company or dismiss the many people who’ve had positive outcomes. However, given the ongoing issues with responsiveness and continuity, I’m now also looking into other programs. I truly hope Better U can take feedback like this seriously and make improvements, especially for long-term patients who’ve relied on this care.
