Communication and accurate record keeping are paramount to ensuring excellent patient care, and that is why Dr. DiNome utilizes electronic medical records. Not only will your entire medical and surgical history be kept safely on our secure server, but also, unlike a paper chart, your electronic record is accessible to Dr. DiNome at any time from any place, so your information is literally at her fingertips.
Also, because Dr. DiNome believes that communication with your referring doctor is essential for maintaining continuity of care, a letter is immediately generated from your visit that is faxed to your referring doctor the minute you walk out the door!
If you have any questions about our electronic medical records, please feel free to ask the team at Maggie DiNome, MD, Inc.
