Spruce News - July / August 2010

We ALWAYS want to know when you are sick or in the hospital or seeing a specialist.

We want to take care of you as a whole person, and have access to ALL of your health information.

This helps us to assure that you receive the best possible care.

To that end, we are creating a card that identifies you as a Spruce Street patient.

When you receive it, it is our hope that you will present it whenever you receive any health care services, so that, in turn, we can receive information.

Not only does this keep us in the loop, it also helps us to avoid duplication of services, which is a tremendous waste of resources.

The card will look like this: card


You may have noticed that we have been doing a bit of advertizing: Dr. Erben is busier as we head into Fall. If any of your friends or colleagues need a physician, your referrals to Dr. Erben are greatly appreciated!


Reach My Doctor(RMD) has been very well received by our patients.  If you do not know about RMD, it is our portal. A portal is a way to convey confidential information over the internet.  If you go to ReachMyDoctor.com, and sign up with your provider’s name and create a user name and password, on the day of or before you have lab work or an x-ray, we will be able to send the results to you by email. 

You will not receive results in your in-box, but instead will get an email that tells you that you have a message waiting at RMD.  You can then click on the link, sign in and get your results.
