If you do have a serious situation that cannot wait until morning, please call. If you are unable to reach the nurse, something is most likely wrong with the forwarding system or the number was dialed incorrectly. In this case please call the office number again.


Please disable any call-blocking that may be active on your phone. Our providers will sometimes call from a number that is unidentified, and if call-blocking is activated then they will not be able to reach you.
