Emergency Care
If you have an urgent medical problem call our office at (408) 288-9933. We strongly encourage you to call us during regular hours when you feel that you have medical problem. This allows us to arrange for your care on a non-emergency basis whenever possible. We may not always be available due to our profession but we will have another physician contact you should this be necessary. 

After-hours our answering service will help you in contacting our physician on-call that day. Please use this after-hours service only in a medical emergency. If you believe that you are in labor, call us before going to the hospital. This may prevent unnecessary emergency room visit and the associated fees. However, if this is a life-threatening situation, do not hesitate to call 911 or go to the nearest hospital. We will be contacted by the hospital staff.

Have your medical insurance card and any of your important medical records with you. Please inform us about any health problems, allergies and any medications you are taking.

If You Have Medical Problems or Questions
We strongly encourage you to call our office during regular office hours if you have any health problems, need a prescription, have questions or concerns, or you need to get touch with us for any other reason. Our front office staff will either direct your call to the appropriate person, or take a message if this is a non-urgent call or to schedule an appointment. 

If your call requires medical assistance and our physicians or medical assistants are busy with other patients, the front desk will take a message and give it immediately to our medical staff. If your call is urgent our physicians or medical assistants will call you as soon as possible. In non-urgent cases they will make the best effort to call you back most likely later in the day. 

If your call relates to prescription needs, please make sure to call during our office hours when your medical records are available to us so we could provide the most appropriate treatment for you. Please have the pharmacy phone number available to allow us to order your prescription.

If you are calling regarding lab results, please allow our front desk to look up your results. In general it is not necessary to call us about your lab results because we will notify you as soon as possible it they are abnormal or require an early follow-up.

Make sure that our records reflect your correct address and phone numbers in case we have to notify you.
