Patient Portal
Current members of Ocean State Medical enjoy the benefits of a free online service available called the "Patient Portal." This helps facilitate better communication with your doctor by providing convenient 24 x 7 access from the comfort and privacy of your own home or even on the go!
-
To use the Patient Portal, you must obtain a username and password. This will be assigned to you during your office visit. You must have a permanent email address that you check consistently.
-
You may submit a request to change your password at any time by clicking on the option "change/reset password" on the log-on page. For security reasons, if you submit an incorrect password three times, you will be locked out of the Portal and will need to contact our office to unlock your account.
