How are emergencies handled after office hours?
For a true emergency it is always best to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For other concerns call our office during business hours. If there is anything urgent (non-emergency) that requires earlier attention, please call the exchange at (314) 865-6106 and doctor will promptly return your call. After office hours, please do not call for medicine refills, as we do not have access to your medical records. For non-urgent things like appointment changes, etc., please leave message on our answering machine with your daytime telephone and cell phone number. At the next business day our office staff will promptly call you back. If you are sick and want to be seen the same day, please call us as early during the day as possible and we will do our best to accommodate you on the same day. Our general policy is that sick patients will be seen the same day regardless of how busy we are. We are never too busy for situations like this. Alternatively you can e-mail us your request for no
