What if I need assistance after hours?
Please call the same telephone number you would call during the day for your physician. A physicians' answering service will assist you in reaching the on-call physician. Also, the family medicine department is open for extended hours for urgent or acute needs. If it is a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911 for assistance.
What happens when my medical provider is not available?
If your provider is unavailable, someone from the department will return your call. If your questions or concerns can wait, your own provider will return your call upon his or her return. If it cannot wait, please tell the receptionist and an on-call physician or triage nurse will respond to your needs.
