Is there a patient portal?
Yes, as a patient we have made it easy for you to communicate with us, share labs, and address other concerns through your patient portal account on Power2Patient. By using this service your personal health information is HIPPA protected.
How do I fill out my new patient questionnaire? When is it due?
Once you schedule your appointment, our front desk staff will advise you on how to setup your patient portal account. From here you can fill out your new patient paperwork under the “Questionnaires” tab (see picture below).
We REQUIRE all new patients to fill out new patient questionnaire online at least 24-48 hours prior to your appointment. If you are unable to do so 24-48 hours prior to your appointment, we may ask you to reschedule, so our doctors have time to adequately prepare for your visit. If you cannot complete the form electronically, please contact our front desk for assistance.
See below on how to navigate your patient portal:
