• ONLINE CONSULTATION: A NEW SERVICE Can we save you an office visit? My goal is to provide convenient service. I care about you and respect your time. I am offering "Secure Messaging" for routine office communications (appointment requests, prescription refills, and general messaging to discuss a bill or other clerical questionS). Also,I offer "Online Consultations" for clinical questions. Both services are available here. "Online Consultations" include a charge to you if they involve significant physician time to address, or when they serve as a substitute for an office visit. Both "Secure Messaging" and "Online Consultations" can be accessed here by clicking on the "Register with Your Physician" area. I use a secure network to communicate with you because standard email is not sufficiently secure, does not live up to federal liability standards and may inadvertently expose your clinical records and information to your employer or other unintended people. I know that coming in for an office visit is not always convenient and has a real cost to you as a patient. Co-payments, gas and parking, lost wages, child care and other real costs of office visits add up. I am sensitive to these costs and the value of your time. My "Online Consultations" service and modest associated fee are designed to save you money when your questions, that previously required an office visit, can be adequately answered online. "Online Consultations" is not the ideal service for all patients, but it will serve the needs of many. We are happy to offer this service and convenience to you. Let me remind you that it may take some time for me to see your message, so please DO NOT use any email on my web site for urgent problems. I may insist that some questions require an office visit.
