The information in the Patient Portal comes from the electronic health record (EHR) that the medical providers use to document your care and health information. Since the hospital and the providers each use an EHR specifically designed to meet the requirements of that setting, the Patient Portals are not the same.
Most of the providers for Saratoga Hospital Medical Group share the same Medent portal. If you already have a login, you will not need a new one. Some Providers may use an electronic health record (EHR) unique to their setting and will not share this same Portal. If you have questions about the information that is provided in your portal, please contact our office and we’ll be happy to discuss this with you.
If you forgot your password, click the “Forgot Password?” link and a temporary password will be emailed to you at the email address on file.
