YOUR PORTAL RECORD

A Woman's Place Medical Clinic is pleased to offer you a Portal. It is an online service that provides you with convenient access to portions of your medical record. It also offers a secure method of online communication with our A Woman's Place Medical Clinic team for such activities as secure image and document exchange, direct appointment scheduling, and secure online messaging.

The ability to sign in and access the Portal requires multiple layers of verifiable personal information as authentication as well as confirmation of a unique six-digit security code received by text which provides an additional layer of security.

RESPONSE TO SECURE MESSAGING

We will use our best effort to provide a timely response to electronic inquiries. In some cases, the staff may not be available immediately to respond.

Emergency situations requiring immediate attention should not be submitted electronically. For all urgent medical matters, contact your physician’s office by phone, go to an emergency room, or dial 911.
