Office Hours

Open daily, Monday through Friday, with evening and Saturday moming appointments also available. Most appointments are made in advance with your own doctor by calling their office number.  If you have an urgent problem that requires immediate attention, you will normally be seen the same day. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call the office number in advance. Your time is valuable, and so is ours.

Messages

Calls are returned by the doctors after seeing patients, except in case of emergency. Please keep your phone line free if you are expecting his/her call.

Refills and Prescriptions

Prescriptions may be refilled by phone if you have been seen recently. Please call during regular office hours and have the name and dose of your medication and your pharmacy phone number ready. Please call several days before you run out of your medication.  Be aware that many medications may require you to be seen by a physician before it is appropriate to write a new prescription.

Forms, Letters, etc.

Forms or letters you need generated by your doctor's office generally need about five working days for their completion. Some forms may require an additional fee.

In Case of Emergency

Go directly to the nearest emergency room.

Always give our name so we can be notified.  No insurance plan pays for non-emergency visits to the emergency room.  Some insurance plans require a doctor's pre-authorization for emergency room reimbursement.

In Case of Poisoning
