I use the patient portal a lot! Love it. It so much faster than calling the office because they have a nurse that monitors the portal and gets your question to the doctor.

If I have a question the dr will call me in a script sometimes. It is so much faster. The nurse will go back and forth with me if I need something.

I use the patient portal.  I like being able to check my medical records.  I can even pay medical bills through them if necessary.

I also use one for my dogs health care.

My two main doctors use them and I am pro. I get my test results quicker, good for going back to compare labs, read your own tests, and convenience of contacting them. I also have used them to see when I had illness or tests. My memory is not that good when it comes to remembering when I had something done. Go for it, think you will be pleased.

I love my patient portal. I can contact all my doctors thru the same app. Mine is called My Chart. It's very easy to navigate and many times by the time I get home from my appointment all my info is already on it. My blood work results are usually on later the same day or early the next day. Of course there are things I don't understand, but it always gives you what the norm is and what your result is. If I have any questions, I just message my Dr. thru the app and ask. Easy peasy! And I'm no tech wizard!

We have used this for years and I can't imagine not having this. As an example my husband has a chronic problem with his foot, he goes in every 3 weeks to get it checked and debraded.   They usually set up the next appointment after we leave and we find the information on his portal but a few times they have forgotten, all I do is send the doctor a quick note and see within a day that they have scheduled the follow up appointment.  

If we didn't have the portal I'm sure I would have been on the phone for a while.

I can also review when prescriptions are ready to be refilled and request a refill etc.  We have Kaiser so everything is on one portal.

I haven't felt the need to have one for myself yet.

We have one too. Get all test results and make payment if needed.

@Tinkrbl44  you can also check in for an appointment through the portal, I had a ultrasound today and I confirmed and checked in from my computer. 

Most of my doctors are all in the same group and the hospital portal is linked to them as well.
