Getting the Ahmann Eye Care exam findings into your chart
Continuity of care is why Ahmann Eye Care faxes an exam report to the patient's primary care physician: eye findings can flag systemic disease the primary office is managing. A patient can ask Ahmann Eye Care to send the exam report to their doctor, and providing the office's fax speeds it along. A follow-up call confirms the primary office received the report if a finding is time-sensitive.
