Do I need a patient portal for my child?

I highly recommend that patients do utilize our Patient Portal because what that does is it allows any parent direct access to your child’s records, to the patient records. If you need to see lab results, if you need to see some notes from the previous visit, anything to that effect, it’s now open to the parent or guardian in that manner.

What happened to the original patient portal?
