After 12 months the patient should be seen by a physician to insure that no adjustment in therapy is needed before refills. Because of problems with multiple drug regimens, it is best for a single physician, usually your personal physician, to know and refill all of the medications you are taking.

Refills on medications that we have personally prescribed for you can be handled through our office during regular working hours if you are unable to reach your personal physician.

In order to expedite your prescription refill request, please allow one week for authorization. Other refills will be made only on an emergency basis during office hours. No refills will be authorized after hours or on weekends.
