The parent should telephone our office number and inform the answering service or doctor of the nature of the problem. The doctor will give advice regarding appropriate management and care. It is always best to telephone first before transporting a child to an emergency facility. Many visits can be avoided with appropriate advice.
Prenatal and new patient interviews are welcome. There is no fee for this service. Some children’s issues require more time for discussion than is available during regular hours. Many topics require the participation of both parents or other parties. Our physicians are available for after hours consultations, either in person or by telephone, regarding these topics. These consultations can be scheduled by calling the office during regular hours.
