What type of information will be communicated through the Patient Portal?

 The Portal is designed to communicate non-urgent information. For example, office visit reminders and routine test results will be available for your review, and you can send questions to your doctor/healthcare provider or request prescription refills.

How often do you check the Portal for incoming messages?

 Our staff checks the Portal throughout each office day and sends responses. Messages received after office hours are read the next business day. On the rare occasion when we receive a large volume of messages, it may take our staff a couple of days to process them and to send you a response. Remember: only use the Portal for non-urgent matters; if there is an emergency, dial 9-1-1 or go to the nearest Emergency Room.
