Orthopedic Associates of Dutchess County has transitioned to a new Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system to provide the best experience for our patients. This new system, Modernizing Medicine, will allow 24/7 access to communicate with our care team, pay your bill, and more. We are confident that this change will improve our efficiency and your patient experience both in our offices and online.

***Please Read*** We will activate your new patient portal account ahead of your next office visit. If you need to access the portal and do not have an upcoming visit, please call (845) 454-0120 and our team will activate your patient portal account.

Once the patient portal account is activated, please choose from the following login options:

• Download the APPatient app on your smartphone and wait for our check-in text message before attempting to log in. You will receive a text message ***24 hours before your appointment** that will allow you to check in for your upcoming appointment. 
• If you prefer to log in to the patient portal website by clicking the button below, you will receive an email with your username and password as well as instructions on how to reset your password. Once you’ve logged into your patient portal, please take a moment to download the APPatient app. 

The app provides the most convenient experience of Modernizing Medicine and its functionality. If you do not wait for the check-in text message before logging into the app, you will need three pieces of information to log in. In addition to your new username and password, you will be prompted to input the Patient Portal URL which is ons.ema.md.

You will receive a text message ***24 hours before your appointment** that will allow you to check in for your upcoming appointment.
