I love this place. They are professional, polite, and fast. They stay in contact and guide you through the whole process, from start to finish. I won't go anywhere else. 
Very stress-free process you all have done for me. Highly recommend. I'll be renewing my card through y'all in the future. I appreciate all the work done from your end I'm not tech savvy 😆 
Great Experience! Times for Doctor visit was convenient and had a wide range suitable to my schedule. Doctor visit was short and to the point. I opted for the extra fee to do the state's application and was impressed by how fast they were able to get my application submitted. Thanks for your service. 
First-time user. Much easier than the previous company used... Doing it all online and FaceTime is so much more convenient... Not to mention about half the price of the previous company. I highly recommend this company... if they could walk me through it, just about anyone can use this site.

Renew Your Ohio Med Card Before It Expires
Can I update my photo, name, address or other details when I renew my Ohio medical marijuana card?
Absolutely, and you should take advantage of your Akron renewal to update any personal information that changed since your last certification. Based on our experience with thousands of renewals, keeping your details current in Ohio’s registry prevents card delivery problems and dispensary access issues that waste your time and money.
- Address Changes in Akron – If you moved from Highland Square to Fairlawn, or anywhere else in the Akron area, update your address immediately in the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program portal so your renewed card ships to the correct location and dispensaries can verify your current residence
- Legal Name Updates – Marriage, divorce, or court-ordered name changes require documentation like marriage certificates or legal orders uploaded to your registry profile, ensuring your Akron medical card matches your current driver’s license and prevents identification mismatches at dispensaries
- Updated Photos – Outdated photos create unnecessary complications at Akron dispensaries, so upload a recent, clear passport-style photo that accurately represents your current appearance and meets Ohio’s registry requirements
- Contact Information Accuracy – Update your phone number and email address so Ohio can reach you about your Akron renewal status, card shipment tracking, and critical program changes that affect your legal access to medical marijuana

Common Questions About Medical Marijuana Card Renewals in Akron
You can begin the renewal process up to 90 days before your card’s expiration date. Renewing early is strongly encouraged to avoid any gap in access.
No. You can use any Pennsylvania-licensed certifying physician, including the Elevate Holistics physicians who handled your original certification. You are not required to return to the same doctor.
Yes, the renewing physician will confirm that your qualifying condition is still present and ongoing. This is a brief review, not a full diagnostic workup. In most cases it takes only a few minutes of your 15-minute appointment.
No. An expired card is not valid at PA dispensaries. This is why renewing well before expiration matters. Once your new physician certification is submitted and you update your state profile, your card is active again immediately — there is no multi-week wait.

- A valid Pennsylvania ID or driver’s license

- A working camera and microphone for the telehealth visit
