Frequently Asked Questions
Unfortunately, no. Once you qualify as a patient, we would be happy to schedule an appointment for you.
Every patient leaves the center with a follow-up appointment. If a specific date was not provided to you, it is because your primary clinician is a volunteer and usually does not have his/her work schedule several months in advance. Our staff works deligienty to contact patients when the primary clinician provides a date(s) in which he/she will be at the center. If you need to be seen sooner, please contact the center.
Please contact the center as soon as possible. This allows our staff to schedule another patient who needs care. If you miss 2 appointments, without 24 hours notice, within a 12 month period, you will be dismissed from the center's program for one year. At that time, a new eligibility screening is required.
We do not. Clinicians realize that there are patients living with pain and do their best to connect patients, who have verified diagnoses, to resources in the community who might be able to help. Pain management is a specialty outside the scope of the center's practice. The center does not prescribe ANY controlled substances as listed by the DEA.
The center needs at least 7 days to refill prescriptions. If you are a current patient, refill requests can be done by contacting your pharmacy to request a refill.
The center works with several volunteer specialists in the community. These specialists volunteer their time and resources as their schedule allows. Patients are referred on a case-by-case basis.
