Prescriptions

Medication refills are handles only during regular office hours. Call your pharmacy for refills before you have used all your medication, at least 24 hours for authorization to refill the prescription. In certain circumstances, a repeat office visit may be required before the medication is refilled. Try to anticipate your medication needs before weekends and holidays. Please do not ask us to prescribe medication by phone for illnesses we have no had an opportunity to evaluate in person. Potential medical risk far outweighs any advantage gained in convenience.
