Medical Cannabis Certification
Dr. Mulkey is a licensed certifying physician under Alabama's medical cannabis program and can evaluate and certify qualifying patients for medical cannabis treatment.
About
We recognize that for some patients, conventional treatments alone have not provided sufficient relief. As a licensed certifying physician under Alabama's Darren Wesley "Ato" Hall Compassion Act, Dr. Mulkey can evaluate patients and, where appropriate, certify them for medical cannabis treatment through the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission.
We approach this service the way we approach all care at Gardendale Pain & Wellness — with faith, honesty, and the patient's whole person in mind. We believe in approaching all medical treatments with wisdom and moderation. We recommend starting with the lowest dose, and then titrating up as needed to reach your best possible quality of life and functional status.
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally..." - James 1:5 (KJV)
