If your child becomes ill, please try to call during regular office hours. There is someone to see patients on Saturday and Sunday mornings as well. If necessary, you may call the pediatrician on call for emergencies at 342-5665. The on-call pediatrician will help you decide when to go to the emergency department and which hospital is most appropriate. You do not need approval from your insurance company before going to the hospital. In case of accidental ingestion, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
