Not sure what to do?
Not sure what to do?
If you are not sure whether your child’s medical situation can wait to be addressed during office hours, a doctor is always on call for after-hours emergency questions. Emergency questions do NOT include calls for making appointments or getting prescription refills. But if you think the doctor will need to contact your pharmacy, please have the pharmacy phone number ready when you page the doctor. These calls are billed through your insurance.
