"At Accurate Rx, we always talk about going the extra mile and expecting to go the extra mile, every time, every day, especially at 9 p.m. on a Saturday night."

Future plans: Bryant-Wimp said he plans to launch a Web site, www.accuraterx.net, which will include forums that are monitored by parents who are clinicians and have dealt with chronic conditions.
