TELEPHONE HOURS (Routine)
While our office is available by telephone 24 hours a day
without exception, we encourage routine calls to be made during
the regular telephone hours. This begins at 8 AM each
weekday morning and ends at 5 PM. Phone calls that are
considered routine involve appointments, referrals, prescriptions
and questions that pertain to financial issues; of course,
questions about (or issues pertaining to) your medical condition
should also be dealt with during these regular office hours
so as to ensure you that your doctor will be ultimately notified
of your concerns. (SEE "HOW TO USE THE AUTOMATED PHONE
DIRECTORY" to reduce the frustrations of an automated
system.
TELEPHONE HOURS (Emergency)
At any time of day or night we are available for emergency
situations. An emergency is defined as any issue which
YOU FEEL NEEDS ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY, and is unable to wait
for the next regular business day. Our emergency phone
line is our main number, 518-489-4704. During regular
hours, an operator in the office is available when you call.
Outside of the regular office hours (on weekends and nights
as defined above), you will be asked to leave your name and
phone number and a description of the problem about which
you are calling. The message that you leave is recorded
and forwarded to the on-call physician who should receive
it within minutes of your hanging up. You should receive
a return call relatively soon after you hang up, so we ask
that you keep your lines open.
In the event that you are calling about an issue which you
believe may require a prescription to be called in for you,
we would ask that you have a pharmacy phone number ready for
our return call. However, because of possible errors
that occur when prescriptions are phoned in, we will be reluctant
to phone in most prescriptions that aren't of the utmost necessity
(and that do not require some physician observation).
