We
recognize that children do not always become ill
during regular office hours. We make ourselves
available to you in the evenings, weekends, and
holidays. One of our physicians
is on call during these times when we are not
in the office.
If
your child is in an emergency situation, ALWAYS
CALL 9-1-1 FIRST!
If
your child has an urgent medical problem, you
can reach the physician on call by calling our
regular telephone number. (Unblocking your phone
number before calling us can assist the physician
in reaching you more efficiently.) Our voice mail
system will alert the physician on call. Make
sure you speak slowly and clearly and "repeat
your phone number twice" with a brief description
of your concern.
If
you have not heard back from the physician within
half an hour, please call us again as there may
have been difficulties with delivery of your message.
Remember to keep your phone line free until you
have received a return call from us.
