Medication & Prescription Refills

Current Medications ~ The Summary and Instruction Sheet you received at your office visit lists the medication you are currently taking at home, either over-the-counter or by prescription. Please make sure this list is accurate. If it is not, please call and advise us of the correct medications you are taking. If you have a hard time remembering what medications you are taking, you can carry a list with you. We can print one out for you at your request.

Refills ~ We ask that you contact your pharmacy if you need a refill on a routine medication, even if the label reads, “0 refills” or “Doctor must authorize.” The pharmacy will call or fax our office for authorization. Please follow up with your pharmacy to check the status of your refill request. Our office requires 24-48 hours to process refill requests. We advise that you plan 1-2 weeks in advance to request your refill in order to allow adequate processing time. If your last office visit was more than six months ago or if we have not previously diagnosed your condition, you may be asked to schedule an office visit. Refills are not processed through the clinic nor by the doctor on call during evenings and weekends.
