Southern Illinois Associates, LLC

Ive been gradually weining off suboxone for 2 years (started at 24mg now im on 4mg) and my suboxone doctor in St Louis retired very suddenly because he was being investigated by the feds for faking drug tests & cheating insurance. I called Southern IL Associates right after my STL doc gave me my last 30 day refill. I had no idea where my next script was coming from and was terrified that I'd be in withdrawal before I got in anywhere. The office called me back THE SAME DAY I called and scheduled me in for only two weeks out. I was so relieved, they responded so fast and saved me from going into withdrawal. Everyone in the office is very courteous and polite, I haven't had a bad experience since I started coming here. Dr. Nigam is great and so is Diana Jarman, same with the staff working the waiting room and I'm sure the other therapists and doctors are great too. I honestly don't understand the negative reviews on here and I am inclined to believe it is a problem with the reviewers ...

Overall, my experience has been a wonderful one. They offer a variety of different services and they stay up to date with current technology available. Jaime Mendoza the nurse practitioner is phenomenal. She genuinely listens, helps you make the right decisions about medications (yes they DO involve you in that part as well), and has plenty of other cognitive practices outside of medication therapy to offer. I’ve had a few hiccups with front desk personnel not being sensitive to the nature of their business; however, humans are...well...human. Bad days happen to us all.

This Dr has been phenomenal. I had great anxiety about switching, but it was the best thing I could have ever done.
