Prescriptions & Refills

Ideally, prescription refills are best handled at your regularly scheduled office visit. At this time, we are able to review with you proper dosages and any potential problems. With this in mind, we are requesting that you bring all your current prescription medications including vitamins and supplements to each routine appointment. In this way we can verify your medications and coordinate your refills. Hopefully this action will help eliminate the many phone calls for refills that should have been handled at the last office visit, Remember too that some medications require laboratory monitorig, and again, this is best documented during your office visit.

One final request is that you make every effort to schedule your follow-up appointment at the time of your office visit. This will prevent you from having to call the office at the last minute for an urgent refill because you have run out of medicine. Optimal care requires teamwork and your cooperation.

Our current policy is to no longer refill standing medication (i.e. cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, etc.) except at the time of a regularly scheduled appointment. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
