For prescription refills, it is best to request refills from your pharmacy. The pharmacist will call us for verification. Call our office directly, however, for refills on antibiotics or steroid (cortisone type) medications so that we may get additional information from you. The doctor prefers not to extend refills if he has not seen you for an office visit within the past year. Please schedule an appointment for a check-up at least one month before your prescription expires.
