Remember that you are not just choosing a doctor. You are choosing a long term medical partner. The initial evaluation is just the beginning. Doctors operating under Prop. 215 are responsible for ongoing evaluations, verification, law enforcement support and much more. Sadly, many of the doctors’ offices in our field are shoddy at best. They are definitely not something to gamble on. Here are just a few of the benefits of IME compared to the rest of the industry:

    24hr Patient Verification Services

    One of the most important functions of a medical marijuana doctor is verification. There are mainly two circumstances for being verified, both are extremely important. The first is when you go to a dispensary and they need to confirm that you are an active patient. The other is law enforcement verifying your status if you are ever confronted while carrying your medicine. Most doctors’ offices do not have the infrastructure in place to ensure your verification every time. Many doctors’ offices are extremely hard to get in touch with. At IME we have a 24/7 phone verification team ready to speak with whoever is calling to verify. We also have an online verification system as an additional way to show your patient status. When it comes to verification nobody is better and more reliable than IME.

    Attorney Protection Program

    Exclusive to IME patients is our Attorney Protection Program. While you would have a difficult time getting any of our competition to help you deal with legal problems, IME has devised a program to work side by side with you in such cases. IME has associated with a local Attorney who specializes in medical marijuana law and will work together to give you your best defense. In the event you have an altercation with law enforcement regarding medical marijuana, IME has paid for you to speak with the Attorney and formulate a game plan to defend yourself. In addition, IME will do whatever we can to help and be there for you as well. This can save you hundreds and hundreds of dollars and give you piece of mind. There is no other company doing this much for their patients.

    Multiple Office Locations

    Dispensaries and law enforcement all over Southern California recognize our company which brings added security to our patients. The problem with small offices is their limited exposure. A police officer in San Diego may not have any idea about an office in Hollywood. When you are with IME you are with a recognized doctors office with a far reaching presence. IME will continue to expand throughout California and on to other medical marijuana friendly states. Each time we expand, our patients enjoy additional strength in their recommendation. IME also enjoys economies of scale which allows us to deliver more products and services than your average doctor. At IME we have top of the line verification systems, high cost materials for our multiple forms of recommendation, high quality  Patient Verification Cards, a program and staff for legal problems and many other high cost functions of structure and support. Most offices simply cannot afford to give you the support you need as a patient.

    What you get with IME

    Our patients get so much more than those of other doctors offices. Most will give a plain recommendation letter with everything handwritten in. They may give you a subpar verification card and maybe a lighter or some other worthless novelty item. IME prides itself in being the best service in the industry and gives you a long list of highly usable items to further protect you and improve your experience as a medical marijuana patient. Here is a small list of what you get as an IME patient:

    • Professional recommendation letter with photo copy of your ID on the letter, your name and info typed into the letter and the option to have it laminated.
    • Our highly sought after Patient Verification Card. This card is free if you show up to your first set appointment.
    • A Pocket Physician’s Statement so you always have an original signature recommendation on you. It is very small and will fit in your wallet, purse or pocket.
    • A Glove box Physician’s statement so you always have an original signature recommendation in your car.
    • Attorney Protection Program contact information card so you know exactly what to do.
    • IME also gives generic caregiver letters, informative patient handbook and much more.

    Our Stability is your Security

    Unfortunately, many of the small one office locations are here today, gone tomorrow. The worst thing imaginable is for you to be a patient of a company that no longer exists. No more verification, no more support, no more service. All it takes is for the one doctor not to want to do it anymore, and suddenly, their doors are closed. At IME we have teams of experienced doctors ready to help you and many more new doctors trying to get on board. We have big plans to be the biggest and best doctor’s office in the Country. Along with everything else you get from IME, you can know with confidence that IME will be here to support you now and far into the future.

    Now is NOT the time to go with the “low price leader” or the small company with ONLY one office. There is a significant amount riding on this decision. The smart decision, the correct decision is to call us and have the best team in the business in your corner. We will be there for you in ways the other doctor’s office can only hope to aspire to. There is really no other choice than IME.
