Night and Weekend Coverage

---

One of our physicians is on call at all times, and the answering service will always be able to find the covering physician for you. The service can be reached after hours by calling our main office number and following the instructions on the recorded message. Occasionally there is a transmission problem with our pagers, so if you do not get a call back within twenty minutes please call the answering service back.

The on-call physician is available on weekend and holiday mornings to see sick patients who cannot wait until the next working day to be seen. Our phones open at 8:30 AM on Saturday, Sunday and holiday mornings. Please call between 8:30 and 9:00 if you feel that your child needs to be seen, as we leave the office by noon.

A Special Note to Families With Caller ID On Their Telephones:

We have recently noticed a large number of families with "Anonymous Call Rejection" on their telephones. Many families with Caller ID have Anonymous Call Rejection without even knowing it. This feature prevents a caller to your home from getting through to your line if the caller's phone blocks a Caller ID signal from appearing on your phone. Our doctors' home and cell phones do block this Caller ID signal, and therefore we cannot call your home unless you temporarily or permanently disable the Anonymous Call Rejection feature. Therefore, if you are expecting a call from our office or the on-call doctor, please be sure to disable the Anonymous Call Rejection feature on your telephone. This can be done by dialing *87 on your phone at any time.
