Online Prescription Requests now available

July 8, 2009 by Kenneth Carlson, MD 

We are happy to announce a new feature of our new online secure patient portal this week. You can now request prescription renewals through our web site. If you don’t yet have a new account with this service you can quickly register online. This new service is different from our old My Health Online (which will be going away soon). If you have previously registered with My Health Online you will need to create a new account.

This will work best for medications that require you to pick up a paper prescription from our office (like medications for ADHD). For other medications calling your pharmacy is the fastest way to request refill. If more refills need to be authorized the pharmacy will contact our office directly.

Please use our contact form and let us know how you like this new service and what additional features you would like to see. This service is for you!
