Telephone Calls & Rx Refills
Our trained staff will gladly answer your health, billing and other related questions. If you need to speak to your provider or nurse, or have an urgent problem, please inform the receptionist. Urgent calls will be connected immediately or returned as soon as possible. All other calls will be returned as your provider's or nurse's schedule allows.
We have voice mail so that you can leave a detailed message if the person you are trying to reach is unavailable. When we return to our stations we are immediately notified of waiting messages, and will return your call as soon as possible.
In most instances, we believe it is not in your best interest for us to prescribe medicines by phone. If you have not seen your provider for a year, you must do so to have a prescription refilled. Always contact your pharmacy for refills rather than calling the clinic. If needed, the pharmacy will contact us and the request will be processed within 48 to 72 hours excluding weekends. Please do not call the clinic before that time as the refill is in process.
