RetinaOC X Apple Health

Easily access and visualize your health records in the Health app on iPhone.
See important data across seven categories — allergies, conditions, immunizations, lab results, medications, procedures, and vitals — in a simple, aggregated timeline view.

We are excited to announce that Retina Orange County supports health records
in the Health app, which is available to patients with an iPhone running iOS 11.3 or later.

The new health records feature in the Health app makes it easy to access and visualize key parts of your health records, including allergies, conditions, immunizations, labs, medications, procedures, and vitals.

Setup is simple. Getting your health records from Retina Orange County into your iPhone is as easy as going to the Health Records section of the Health app, searching for our office, and then logging in with the user name and password that you normally use to access your patient portal account at Retina Orange County via OnPatient by DrChrono.

If you don’t already have a user name and password, you can create one by visiting onpatient.com

After you log in once, your health records will start to appear in the Health app, and you will be notified when new records are ready to view.

Your health record data is kept secure, because it is encrypted and protected with the passcode on your iPhone.

Medicare Open Enrollment is now!

Medicare Open Enrollment is open now through December 7th. Don’t forget to enroll in the plan that is right for you, but maintains access to their doctors and hospitals. RetinaOC recommends traditional Medicare for those patients that can afford a secondary insurance. We understand that not everyone has the means, but be careful with your choice. We are only part of two Medicare Advantage plans as of January 1st: Hoag Physician Partners and Mission Affiliated Physicians through St Joseph’s Heritage Healthcare.

RetinaOC endorses Biden for President

Enough is enough. It’s not usual for a medical practice to make a presidential endorsement, but we live in unusual times. Unfortunately, during the pandemic we have seen our friends/patients/colleagues sickened, our physicians and nurses unprotected, and our patients delaying their care. The search for protective equipment to keep our office running resembled a mad dash like a scene from Lord of the Flies, rather than an organized response. Lack of testing delayed surgeries, and no serious guidance on protocols have placed our patients and staff in harms way and incalculable loss of business and productivity. Not only for us but thousands of small businesses around the country.

For these reasons, we endorse Joe Biden for President. Our practice, and our country cannot afford another four years of the failed leadership from President Trump.

Do I need blue light glasses to use at the computer?
