Helping Patients Reach Their Health Goals
APPOINTMENTS
We respect our patients' time and pride ourselves in creating as fluid and convenient of a patient experience as possible without sacrificing quality of care. As such, patients are seen by appointment only. We do set aside a few same-day appoint-ments for our sick patients. Sick patients needing to be seen must call ahead to be scheduled for a same-day (or sometimes next-day) appointment based on availability.
eMERGENCIES
AND AFTER HOURS
In the event of a life-threatening emergency, always dial 911. If you or your loved one become ill during business hours, please call our office first as we reserve same-day appointments to see you if you become ill.
When the office is closed after office hours or on holidays, please call 956-412-2836 and an on-call physician will be contacted.
PRESCRIPTIONS
A new prescription usually requires an office visit. The turnaround time for most prescription refills is 3 business days, but some medications have specific requirements which is why we strongly recommend prescription refills be requested one week prior to your last medication dose.
To request a refill, call us and press 4 or download the Spruce Health App below to make your request.
