After hours calls
Southwest Pediatrics offers an after-hours answering service to address urgent calls from parents. This service should only be used for urgent medical concerns. Non-urgent calls should be made during our regular office hours. Examples of non-urgent calls include:
- Requests for prescription refills.
- Dosing schedules for Tylenol and Motrin.
- Discussing your child's health problems that are chronic and not urgent in nature.
- General feeding questions.
- Behavioral problems.
Many common illnesses are listed under our for parents section, which contains helpful information for caring for your child at home.
One of our physicians is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. Note that the physicians do not have access to medical charts and therefore will not call in prescription refills after hours. To access the answering service for urgent concerns, call our office for instrucitons. Be prepared to provide information regarding your child's name, age, problem or concern and the telephone number you can be reached at.
Weekend calls
A nurse is available most Saturdays and Sundays starting at 8 a.m. to answer calls regarding urgent concerns. If you would like to speak with the nurse or see if the doctor is available to see your child, call as early as you can after 8 a.m. on the weekends. The nurses are done taking calls most weekends around 10 a.m. Please call our office if you have questions about weekend calls.
