How do I get a prescription refilled?

Refills may also be requested through your patient portal account if you have one.
What is the after-hour answering service number?
If you need to reach the on-call provider for urgent MEDICAL related needs, please call our regular business number and follow the directions to reach the on-call provider. Our providers do not do refill requests after hours or on weekends or holidays.
When should I arrive for my appointment and what if I am running late?
We ask that you arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time in order to ensure that we can get you checked in and ready for your appointment (please note: New Patients are asked to arrive 30 min in advance). This allows for any demographic or insurance changes to be made to your record without delaying your appointment. If you are running more than 15 minutes late for your appointment, you may be asked to reschedule but PLEASE contact our office in these situations so that we can attempt to accommodate your needs.
