After Hours Care

If you have a medical problem that needs attention after hours, please call our clinics.  An answering service will route your call to a nurse consult line. The nurse will ask about your medical problem and if appropriate, consult with a doctor to decide if you need to:

• See a doctor immediately,
• Go to the emergency room, or
• Stay at home and follow the nurse’s advice.
