Implementing a patient portal bridges the gap between you and your provider and provides more efficient communication.
To create an account in the Patient Portal, call us at 912-354-4800 or visit us and our expert staff can help you. We will create a NextMD account for you and give you a personal enrollment token (an 8-digit number used to sign in). Once we create your account, you will receive an email with instructions on how to enroll in the Patient Portal.
The Patient Portal provides instant, direct access to our providers and staff, providing a more streamlined health care experience. You can send and receive messages to staff and providers regarding your health care needs. You can request to renew medications online which will speed up the prescription process. Patient education, diagnostic testing results and a clinical summary of your visit will be sent to you so you can get on with your day.
The Patient Portal will allow you to request and manage your appointments at your convenience, from the comfort of your home or office. You can submit a request for an appointment or a medication refill 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Once submitted, requests will generally be handled within 1-2 business days, excluding holidays, and weekends. If you have a non-urgent question, you can send us a message through the Patient Portal and we will answer the question as soon as possible. No more holding on the phone lines or waiting for a phone call back!
Our patients’ privacy is our number one concern. The Patient Portal is HIPAA compliant and gives secure access to each user so you can feel safe when using it. Each patient creates their own unique password and is asked a security question each time they login for maximum safety. No medical or personal information will be sent to you through your personal e-mail account.
