During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients are utilizing patient portals with increased frequency to safely and securely communicate with their doctors or care team to receive non-urgent care from the comfort of their own home. 


At Scripps, you will find the MyScripps patient portal helpful, convenient and easy to set up and use. Scripps is also using the MyScripps portal to notify patients when they can schedule their COVID-19 vaccinations.


“MyScripps makes it possible for you to manage your care, and your family’s care, on your time,” says David Wetherhold, MD, an internal medicine physician at Scripps Clinic Anderson Medical Pavilion in La Jolla. “You can schedule appointments, renew prescriptions or message your provider from the comfort of your home, during a break at work or after the kids go to bed.”
