AFTER HOURS

ON CALL CARE PROVIDER

We  take emergency calls from  home after hours for established patients.

Call the main office number, and our answering service will contact the on-call care provider to call you back. Please save routine questions such as mild illness, appointment scheduling, and prescription refills for regular office hours. Under no circumstances will antibiotics be called in after hours.



We encourage you to refer to our child health resources, when practical, before calling the office. Also, refer to your insurance carrier for free nurse advice lines to keep your out of pocket costs down associated with after-hours calls. See our financial policy for more information associated with costs of this service.
