Refills
Refills for medication can
be requested by the pharmacist or the patient during the
working hours. No refill requests will be taken after working
hours, on weekends, or after noon on Friday.
It is important that we know
about all medications that the patient takes. Analgesics and
narcotics ordered by other physicians have to be approved by
the clinic physicians.
Follow-Up
Visits
We encourage you to set up
follow-up visits at regular intervals, approximately one month
after the first visit and then once in three months, or long,
depending on the individual situation. For patients from long
distances, special schedules can be arranged.
Phone Calls
We encourage patients to
report to us all the side effects of medications as well as
other problems associated with the headache condition during
the working hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Phone calls will be
returned on the same day whenever possible. After the office
hours and on weekends no routine calls will be taken.
The phone number is (713)
528-1916.
Research
Patients willing to
voluntarily partake in research programs will be encouraged to
do so and an appropriate consent form will have to be signed
for the same.
