Connect with your patients online through a secure, EMR-integrated ambulatory surgery patient portal.

Through our online ambulatory surgery portal, patients can request appointments quickly, easily, and at their own convenience. This saves time for the patient and for your employees too.
Medication Refill Requests: Instead of patients having to call your office for prescription refills and then employees having to call the refill into the patient’s pharmacy, requests for medication refills can be submitted through your practice’s online ambulatory surgery portal. Submitting refill requests this way is more convenient for patients and allows doctors and staff to use their time more productively.
