Please note our policy regarding all prescriptions:
If you are having symptoms of a Urinary Tract Infection, Yeast or Vaginal infection, or need to refill current medications, please note that we will require you to have an office visit or telehealth visit before the provider will prescribe any medications. For your safety, we require that you have a medical assessment with clinical reviews that are essential for safe prescribing. Thank you for your understanding.
