Medication refill policy
There will be absolutely no medication refills after office hours and over the weekends or holidays. Dr. Grossfeld will not have access to your medical records and from a risk management prospective is unable to refill. The only way to potentially get a refill during those times is to be seen at an urgent care center or emergency department. Those facilities may also elect not to refill your medication. Unfortunately there is vast abuse of narcotics in the state of Kentucky which has made these policies necessary.
