Prescription Renewals
We suggest that you contact your pharmacy for a prescription renewal. Sometimes your prescription can be refilled without calling your doctor. The pharmacy will handle getting your prescription.
If you have a medication that cannot be refilled without returning to the doctor, please call ahead for an appointment before your medication runs out. Always bring your medications or a list of them when you come for an appointment.

You are requested to pay any amounts not covered by insurance at the time of service, unless other arrangements have been made in advance. Financial assistance is available upon application.
