Since our physicians have families too, they need some time off and alternate taking call for the entire office during the week. However, a physician is always available to you, any time of the day or night. If you call our office number when the office is closed, you will reach our answering service. Simply tell the operator your name and telephone number and, briefly, what you need to talk to the physician about, and he or she will relay the information to the physician on call. If your phone is programmed to not accept calls from unlisted numbers, you must “unblock” it or the physician may not be able to return your call.
