Incase of Emergency
As the only provider in my practice, I do not have weekend or evening coverage. Also there are some days that I might only check my messages once during the day so it is always best to seek the aforementioned services if having an emergency. I, of course, would like to be notified if you are having an emergency, but please do not wait to hear back from me before taking steps to safely address the emergency.
