I am a new patient—do I need to get my records from my previous provider sent the office?

If you are generally in good health and have only been seen for routine exams, colds, etc., then you usually don’t need to have your records transferred. However, if you have been treated for a chronic disease and have had more frequent office visits, blood tests, etc., then it is probably a good idea to have your records sent to our office.

How do I get my medications refilled?

The quickest way to get refills is to call your pharmacy and request a refill first. If you do not have any refills remaining on your prescription, they will contact our office. Someone will notify you if your physician has approved your refill or not.

Why do I need an appointment to get medication refills?

All medications have potential side effects that will require periodic monitoring. Also, as your body changes with time, your dosage of medication may need to be adjusted. Therefore, depending on your medical condition that is being treated, you may need to be seen in the office several times a year so these things can be evaluated.
