Prescription Renewals

Please contact your pharmacy for a prescription refill. Sometimes, your prescriptions can be refilled without calling your physician. The pharmacy will handle getting your prescription. If you have medication that cannot be refilled without returning to the provider, please make an appointment before your medications run out. Always bring your medications or a list of them when you come for an appointment.

For an emergency during office hours, please call the office and state you have an emergency. The nurse will speak with you immediately and give you further instructions.
