Email disclaimer:
I use email for non-urgent communication with patients. Email to me should never include any
subject that requires an emergent or urgent response, defined loosely as "I need an answer to
this question right now" (if that is the case you should be calling either me or 911). Please keep in
mind the potential for lack of confidentiality of email communication on either your end or mine,
though I make every effort to make sure that I am the only person looking at my email. Appropriate
topics for email communication include follow up of established problems, medication refill
requests (though you should typically first check with your pharmacy, which will contact me if I
need to authorize refills), inquiries regarding test results, and non-urgent appointment requests,
and putting "(REPLY REQUESTED)" in the subject line will catch my eye.. If I don't respond to you
within 24-36 hours please send it to me again and add "SECOND REQUEST" to the subject line.
