Patient Portal

The Patient Portal is a secure online website that gives patients convenient 24 hour access to personal health information from anywhere with an Internet connection.

A Note About Lab Results...
Sometimes you may see lab results load to the patient portal site before your provider has had a chance to review and interpret the results. New laws require that patients have a right to see their lab results quickly, even if that means before the doctor has had a chance to review and discuss the results. Please review your results with this in mind, sometimes elevated or low results are not as serious as they may appear. Always discuss any questions regarding your results with your provider. Typically your doctor will send you a lab results letter letting you know the results of your lab work, or your care team will call you to discuss the results. If more than a week passes and you have not heard from your care team regarding your results, please call our office at 541-682-3550.
