The patient portal is an important tool benefiting both the physician and the patient. The portal can enhance or even replace conventional means of communication between the patient and the physician's office. Utilizing the power of the internet, communication between doctor and patient becomes more efficient. The portal provides the patient with a convenient, secure line of communication for everything from submitting new patient information to requesting prescription refills. Patients may also view portions of their medical record as defined by the physician.
