Unless you have a life-threatening emergency — do not go directly to the hospital emergency room without first contacting the on-call healthcare provider. Be prepared to state your problem, name, birthdate and telephone number where you can be reached. If you are pregnant, please report your due date. Have a pencil and paper nearby for instructions.

An on-call healthcare provider will be reached immediately by the operator answering after-hour calls. If the healthcare provider has not returned your call in 30 minutes, please redial the number and report this to the operator. Please note that after-hours call services are for emergent or acute problems only. Do not call for prescription refills or minor problems only. Do not call for prescription refills or minor problems that can be handled in the office during regular hours. Be aware that charges for after-hours services may be incurred.
