This past weekend several of our patients made visits to the Emergency Room for Asthma related issues.  Please make sure you have all of your medicines, including ORAPRED and PREDNISONE and the NIGHT TIME ASTHMA ATTACK CARD.  REMINDER: EMERGENCY ROOM CO-PAYS CAN COST up to $100-150 PER VISIT.  Also, make sure that you bring all of your medicines with you when you travel. 

REMEMBER: IF YOU THINK YOUR CHILD IS HAVING AN ATTACK

·         START THE INHALER or NEBULIZER AND GIVE ORAPRED or PREDNISONE

·         THEN CALL US!!!

If you are connected to the 'Patient Portal', just send refill requests through the Portal. 

We will be holding FLU SHOT CLINICS soon, please check our website for updates. 

If you get FLU SHOTS anywhere else other than our office, please let us know!!

REMINDER: DR. HARTMAN has a talk on our website on this year's FLU VACCINE.
