But then you discover your Doc is in a rush, doesn’t really listen and you get invoiced for an appointment that was a waste of money. When you call to complain, you hang up because of being on hold. So you email and never get a response. The closed market of products sucks when you discover your needs are not typical. The dispensing and dispatch of medications is very slow compared to my new way of accessing medications. I believe they are very understaffed, so all goes ok as long as you’re not trying to resolve an issue. It’s really not acceptable for a company dealing with a medical service to drop the ball on patient care. Very happy with my new clinic, doc and scripts I can take anywhere

Stupid expensive, stupid wait times, stupid big-business monsters trying to pretend they care. The police should arrest them for pretending to be doctors.

Montu/Alternaleaf were my first clinic and I didn't know any better, if I could go back in time and save myself getting absolutely ripped off with trash product I absolutely would. I was paying $180 for 10gs of flower and $150 per vape. A regular order would set me back over $450. I'm currently with a new clinic who charges me $69 for 10grams and $88 for vapes. It really is unconscionable for Alternaleaf to act like they care about patients and then proceed to gauge the absolute living heck out of them. Alternaleaf to me are like Big Tobacco, they don't give a screw about anyone, it's purely profits they care about. If it wasn't "reminding me to refill my medication" every single week, they were trying to push ridiculous $550+ vapes on me through what I'm pretty sure were illegal promotional emails that incentivised me to smoke more medicine. Alternaleaf should be avoided at all costs, choose a small clinic who actually has a reason to care about your outcomes.

The doctors don't seem to care about anything at all other than making cash. They are more than willing to prescribe to anyone, I get 28-30% flowers for anxiety (lol) and I didn't even have to prove my diagnosis. They take it at face value. They're great in that sense. They also do budget flowers 10g for $85 for people with concession cards. The ordering portal is simple. My concern is that they charge $15 for express shipping and it still sometimes takes a week. Another concern is that they frequently are out of stock of things. If all the flowers in your active scripts are out of stock, they expect you to pay $59 again to get scripts for flowers that ARE in stock. They also will not let you ask for certain scripts in your first appointment. You must make a follow up (another $59 for them) to ask for specific flowers after they initially prescribe the weakest flowers available. I had to email my concession card to them multiple times before they acknowledged they received it. I think they are a great entry path, but in the coming year, I will be switching away from them.
