Do you carry wound vacs or wound dressing supplies?

We do not.

Do you carry power chairs or rollators?

We do not.

When will my equipment be delivered? How long do deliveries normally take?

This can vary depending on how quickly your doctor (or signing professional) can complete the necessary paperwork. Deliveries usually take only 24-48 hours after all documentation has been submitted.

We can also coordinate deliveries with Discharge Planners in advance of patient’s discharge date in order to assure that equipment is ready when the patient leaves the hospital.

Do you deliver on Saturdays? What days are you open?

Yes. We do deliver on Saturdays. We are open Monday - Friday from 8:00am - 5:30pm, and on Saturdays from 10:00am - 3:00pm.

What does it take to get a wheelchair or other piece of medical equipment?

In order to get a wheelchair (or other equipment) for yourself or for one of your patients, each patient needs:

  • A WOPD signed by an MD, RN, NP, PA, Therapist (PT or OT), or LCSW.
  • A medical chart/record including progress notes, a summary, etc.

Do I need a prescription?

  • Documentation cannot be written as a prescription.
  • Documentation must be a part of the medical chart/record (including progress notes, d/c summary, etc).
  • Documentation must be completed and signed by an MD, RN, NP, PA, Therapist (PT or OT), or LCSW.
