Treatment follow-up
Discuss response to the prescribed treatment and concerns you want the clinician to assess. Any medication change depends on your clinical evaluation.
BP, glucose and pain follow-up
Review blood pressure or glucose readings after the ER, and discuss clinically appropriate non-controlled pain management. Ongoing chronic care transitions to your regular clinician.
A clear service policy
No controlled-medication refills.
Medication limits
Follow Up Dr. does not refill opioids/narcotics, benzodiazepines or stimulants. No prescription, refill or particular treatment is guaranteed. Bring your medication bottles or an accurate list to your visit.
Short-term transition care
We focus on recovery after discharge for up to 14 days when appropriate. Long-term medication management belongs with your primary care clinician or specialist. AM&A can be your ongoing medical home if you choose to establish care.
Unstable or having an emergency? Go back to the ER. For chest pain, severe trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, uncontrolled bleeding, or another medical emergency, call 911. Follow your ER return precautions. Do not wait for a follow-up visit or a reply to a request.
