FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything patients ask before their first Fresno evaluation.
Is the doctor licensed to recommend medical marijuana?
Yes. Our doctor is licensed in good standing by the Medical Board of California and is authorized to evaluate and recommend medical cannabis under Proposition 215 and MAUCRSA.
What qualifications does the doctor have?
Dr. Cheryl Bugailiskis is a board-certified pediatrician with over 15 years of clinical experience. Her credentials, including NPI and California medical license, are publicly verifiable through federal and state registries.
How can I speak directly with the doctor?
Book an online evaluation through our secure telehealth platform. After you submit your intake form, you'll join a video or audio consultation with the licensed physician assigned to your appointment.
How long does a consultation usually take?
Most consultations run about 10–15 minutes. If you're approved, your digital recommendation is typically issued the same day.
What should I prepare before my appointment?
Have a valid photo ID, proof of California residency when requested, a brief summary of your medical history, current medications, and any relevant records that support your qualifying condition.
Will the doctor ask for my medical history or records?
Yes. The physician reviews your medical history, symptoms, and current treatments to determine whether a medical cannabis recommendation is appropriate under California law.
How is my privacy protected?
All consultations run on a HIPAA-compliant, encrypted telehealth platform. Your health information is handled under federal privacy standards and is not shared without your permission unless required by law.
How does the doctor decide if I qualify for medical marijuana?
The physician evaluates your condition against California's qualifying criteria and uses independent clinical judgment. Approval is never guaranteed and is never influenced by pricing or timelines.
What happens if my condition isn't approved?
If the physician determines you do not qualify, you are covered by our refund policy. The doctor may also discuss alternative treatment options when appropriate.
Do I need a Medical Marijuana Identification Card (MMIC) in Fresno?
A state MMIC is optional in California — a valid physician recommendation alone is enough to purchase at licensed dispensaries. The MMIC adds a sales-tax exemption and higher possession limits.
Does the doctor handle both renewals and first-time evaluations?
Yes. Our physician evaluates both first-time Fresno patients and patients renewing an existing medical cannabis recommendation.
