chronic illnesses. Our staff is committed to caring for your health

We want your visits to be as pleasant as possible
Prescriptions
and refills
Most prescriptions can be renewed by phone but only from 8 am
until 5 pm. We do request for all chronic medication refills
that we have at least 7 days advance notice. Please be advised
that for new prescriptions and antibiotics, you will be advised
to come in for an evaluation. Also please note we no longer accept
fax requests for refilling of chronic medications from local
pharmacies due to significant duplication of requests. For medications
that you take every day for chronic problems, when we see you
during your office visits we will give you enough medication
to last until your next recommended visit for this problem.
Calling for a refill on the same day you run out of medicine creates unnecessary
turmoil within the office and stress on the patient. When you call please have
your pharmacists phone number or location and names of medications with frequency
and strength.

If you are not going to be able to keep your appointment please

After Hours
If you have an emergency after office hours, call the regular clinic
number. Your call will be taken by an answering service which will
then contact the doctor on call. If your condition is life or limb
threatening, go directly to the emergency room, but be sure to

can be arranged. We do have a policy of not calling in narcotic
medications since we do not have the chart available.
