Through technology, we are able to make up to the minute information on your health accesasable, facilitate your ability to securely deal with chronic conditions, and ensure transitions for instance from a hospital to your home with all the possibilities for a speedy and ensured recovery.

Our website www.mmrhealthcare.com serves as a secure means of communication to our office. You can reach us, read about health issues, and keep up with our news and events. You can also request an appoinment then fill out the necessary paperwork before your arrive to the office to expedite the process.

We are implementing a “patient portal”, which is a place where you can view your records.  In the near future, you will be able to view, print and transmit your medical records which will serve as another means of secure and direct communication with us.

Part of this technological advance is social media. A direct interactivity with our patients through our website, Facebook, and Twitter is avaible which supplies 24-hour education and communication. Emails and flash communications send to smart devices help inform and notify you imediately about appointments, referrals, news, etc.

We want you to be prepared, in control, and ahead for these exciting times!
