Q: Where to find doc in ohio who isnt afraid to prescribe methadone.

Ive been living with pain for several years tried everything until i met a doctor who prescribed me methadone. I had to quit going to this doctor because they no longer take my insurance. The new doctor i go to now wants me to try yoga, nerve blocks, botox injections,etc. She doesntly believe in medications. Methadone has saved my quality of life. I take 3 10mg.a day and am able to have a happy normal, life with no side effects from the medications. She dropped my meds to only 2/day. and now im in pain again. Not to mention she tells me what shes going to do with out asking my opinion and barely talks to me its rush,rush,rush. I need a Pain Management doctor in ohio that isnt afraid to prescribe methadone. All my other doctors werent. My family doctor even did for me til i found her. But he just knows i need a pain doc. Anyone have any advice. Thanks in advance.
