Please be advised that when you go in to see your doctor you get AS MANY REFILLS AS YOU NEED UNTIL YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT.  This specifically refers to those medications that are prescribed by your doctor for chronic conditions or those you will be taking on a long term basis e.g. meds for high cholesterol, thyroid problems, blood pressure, chronic pain, etc.

Please, DO NOT SEND AN E-MAIL OR WALK INTO THE OFFICE JUST TO GET PRESCRIPTIONS RENEWED IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD A RECENT APPOINTMENT TO EVALUATE THE MEDS YOU ARE TAKING. Exceptions will be made for patients who were not given the appropriate amount of renewals at the time of their visit or were given a trial medication and would now like a full prescription.

 Please read the following regarding CONTROLLED ( or what were formerly known as TRIPLICATE) PRESCRIPTIONS:

There are regular prescriptions and there are CONTROLLED PRESCRIPTIONS such as Xanax, Valium, Percocet & other Narcotics. New York State will not allow such controlled drugs to be called in or e-mailed to pharmacies. The prescription must be mailed directly to the pharmacy. Controlled drugs are regulated for a reason and we are required to monitor patients taking them, much more closely. The FDA no longer allows us to refill these by phone on a monthly basis. Patients must be evaluated in person for a controlled drug refill.
