Welcome!
At the Northern California Arthritis Center we have made every effort to customize our facility to the unique needs of our patients. We provide a comfortable and efficient infusion suite, extremity MRI and state-of-the-art bone density testing for osteoporosis. Our numerous on-site services allow us to assess your condition quickly and minimize visits to other sites for testing. |
Laboratory Tests
Regarding your test results, please allow 2 to 3 working days for the results of your test(s) to be sent to our office and reviewed by the physician. If there are any significant findings, the physician/nurse will contact you and give you any instruction that is required. Test results which are within normal limits will not be reported to you, however, we invite you to discuss all of the findings at your next appointment with the physician.
Prescripton Refills
If you have been prescribed medication(s) by one of our physicians and you are in need of a refill, please call your pharmacy and they will fax us a refill authorization request. Please allow 48 hours.
Policy
We ask our patients to monitor their prescription medication closely and to assess supplies before each office visit. We request that patients get their medications refilled at the time of their appointment or when necessary to call a prescription in to their pharmacy several days in advance of running out of the medication.
Refills of pain medications cannot be authorized on weekends.
