Prescription Refill

 

Please request refills for medications during scheduled visits or have your pharamacy fax a perscription renewal request to our office.  Please note that prescriptions require 5 business days for processing to accommodate managed care authorizations and precertifications. Some prescriptions cannot be renewed by telephone.

 

If you want to call us for general medical advice, our nurses will be happy to assist you. If necessary, they will speak with your doctor and return your telephone call. Because our doctors and nurses are usually busy with patients, we may not always be able to respond immediately to your questions. However, we will respond within the same business day. If your case requires you to speak with your doctor, our nurses will have your doctor return your call as soon as possible. If immediate attention is required, the doctor will be informed promptly.

To make a prescription request please call:  (919) 361-2644.
