What type of medical records do I need?
We ask that you bring any medical records that are dated within the previous 12 months outlining or explaining any visits to your physician or doctor pertaining directly to your qualifying condition; Chart, SOAP, or progress notes that describe a condition that the state will certify for. They must be signed and dated by a doctor and have a treatment plan.
If you are unable to provide medical records at the time of your visit, you can see our pain specialist and update your records on-site in the office.
How long does the doctor's visit take?
The appointments vary in length depending on quite a few things ranging from physical necessity and level of knowledge on medical marijuana to honest wait time behind other patients. If the patient is seeing both doctors, we typically approximate the visit to 1 hour to 1 and a half hours. Please plan to arrive 20 minutes early to complete any additional paperwork.
We are now offering virtual appointments call for more information!
I'm under 18. Can I qualify?
If you are a minor patient looking to get a medical marijuana card, you can still qualify. The process is very similar to a normal patient application, however, the minor certification includes a double-doctor process, meaning the minor patient will have to be certified by two doctors rather than just one. Also, the minor’s parent or guardian will have to become the active caregiver for the patient to make any purchase of marijuana. Additional information can be found here.
