More about Dr. Catherine Gritchen, MD
For patient safety, MemorialCare Medical Group providers will not prescribe most controlled substances (including opioids like codeine, and benzodiazepines like valium) for new patients they have only evaluated via telehealth, rather than in person. Many controlled substances have a high potential for abuse, and overdose on controlled substances may result in death. Without an in person visit, the potential risk outweighs the intended benefit.
If you believe you may need a prescription for a controlled substance, please schedule an in person visit.
Dr. Gritchen entered the field of medicine for her love of children and interest in science. Her practice philosophy is based on teamwork including patients, parents, schools and other healthcare practitioners.
Board certified in pediatrics, Dr. Gritchen's favorite aspect of the physician-patient relationship is watching her patients grow-up healthy. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking and traveling.
