If your child has an emergency that threatens life or limb, call 911 for assistance or go directly to the Emergency Room of the nearest hospital. If you can possibly call us first, we can notify the hospital of the emergency and facilitate your child's visit. 

If you call after-hours for a problem and the pediatrician on-call tells you to go to the Emergency Room, please call the office the next day so that we can follow-up on the ER treatment. This call to the office is especially important if your insurance requires a referral to cover the ER visit. 

We can usually see some emergency problems right away, including those with small lacerations (cuts), burns, eye injuries or minor fractures whenever possible during office hours. Please call the office first, to make sure a pediatrician is available, rather than just coming to the office.
