Please note: Requests for controlled substances such as ADHD medications (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin), strong painkillers (e.g., oxycodone, codeine), or benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax, Valium) cannot be managed through this platform—even if you are a returning in-person patient. This does not affect requests for common treatments or other routine medications.

Dr. Pacino was very caring , easy to talk to, not intimidating and very informative - I had an online video appointment literally the day after I requested it. The entire process of the appointment was very stress free. He gave me the necessary prescription that I was able to fill at the local pharmacy. He asked all important questions to ensure I would not have an allergic reaction or interaction with other medication before prescribing it and warned me of dangers of driving if or when I take it. I felt I could have asked or talked about any concerns as he had a very nice manner of listening. I feel very grateful to Dr. Puccini and Doctorsa for this service!
