After Hours Care
Emergencies are considered to be those conditions that are life-threatening: loss of consciousness, severe bleeding, seizure, etc. In the case of minor emergencies (lacerations, cuts, mild fractures, sprains), please call our office first for instructions.
After Hours
In case of an emergency only!
Our providers rotate being "on call" after office hours, until 10pm. From 10pm to the following morning at 8am, our nurse triage services will be more then happy to assist you with any questions or concerens you may have.
*The providers or nurses phone number may have blocked numbers, so please make sure you can accept blocked calls or temporarily unblock your phone so that you may receive blocked calls.*
Emergencies
In the event of a very urgent emergency,
CALL 9-1-1 FIRST for ambulance transport to the hospital. While waiting for the ambulance, call the office number.
Situations that warrant an ambulance include but are not limited to severe injuries, choking, respiratory distress with asthma or croup, anaphylaxis, burns, an unresponsive infant, or possible poisoning.
It is very important to call 9-1-1 because EMT's can provide oxygen and medical support along with advanced life support. EMT's also bring the child directly into the medical area of the emergency room. This avoids possible delays in the triage or waiting room.
