After-Hours Care

If your child’s illness or injury is life-threatening, call 911.

If you have an urgent matter that truly cannot wait until regular office hours, please call our office and the answering service will connect you to our triage nurse or our emergency on-call provider.

We aim to keep you out of the emergency department and most urgent issues can be expertly managed by our triage nurse or one of our providers. We do ask that you are respectful of our time when the office is closed and only call us if it a true urgent concern.

For routine matters such as scheduling an appointment or a refill, we kindly ask that you call us during regular business hours.
