PRESCRIPTIONS

It is the practice of the Oklahoma Hand Surgery Center to maintain a strict record of all prescriptions provided to our patients. Our hand surgeons are out of the office for several hours at a time performing surgery. Excellent medical care requires that the physician review the patient's chart prior to refilling or amending prescriptions. In order to maintain such records and in an effort to prevent abuses by members of the public posing as patients of the Oklahoma Hand Surgery Center, we have adopted the following:

We urge each patient to consider their level of pain and discomfort and to assess quantities of medication you have in reserve. If you perceive that you will run short of pain medication after regular office hours or over the weekend, please contact Oklahoma Hand Surgery Center weekdays Monday through Thursday  from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. so that your medication can be refilled in a timely manner and the appropriate documentation of the use of that medication can be made for our records. No refills will be processed on Friday. We require our patients to request refills at least 24 hours in advance of the need.

When you call our office at 405.748.6600, please have the following information ready:

1.  The name of the drug
2.  The name and phone number of the pharmacy
3. Any questions you may have regarding the medication or dosage.

The pharmacy is called within 24 hours of your request. You can check with the pharmacist after 5:00 p.m. the day after you call in. 

We will not refill narcotic medications after business hours.

                             Please fill out a Prescription acknowledgement and bring to the office on your next visit.
