Dear patients,
I no longer dispense free medication samples.
I have given this decision much thought and reflection. It is not an easy decision but I truly feel that it is the best decision for my practice.
I want you know that if I prescribe you a drug as part of your treatment, it is because that I have carefully considered the benefits and risks of a drug and decided that the drug is important for your health.
If you would like to discuss this further, please contact me. If you have been dependent on drug samples to help with a medication, please book an appointment as soon as possible so that we can review your medications.
Sincerely,
Dr Steven R Griffin
Family Physician
