To
help us serve you:
• Please
try to be on time for your appointments. Punctuality helps us to see
our
patients
at their scheduled appointment time. We consider your time and
ours
very valuable and make every effort to keep our office running on time.
Since we
do not practice obstetrics, emergencies rarely take us away from regularly
scheduled appointments.
• If you
are going to be more than 10 minutes late, please call to let us know.
• If you cannot keep a scheduled appointment,
let us know 24 hours in advance.
• If you are a new patient and cannot keep
your appointment, please let us know 48 hours in advance. We allot additional
time for your first visit to our office and would appreciate knowing
well in advance if you cannot make it.
Emergencies
If you have a gynecologic emergency, one of our physicians is available
24 hours a day,
every day of the year to care for all of our established patients. After
office hours or on
weekends, call our office number and follow the instructions you will
be given. The phone
number is (310) 451-8144. Our exchange will notify us. We recommend
Saint John’s
Hospital (20th at Santa Monica Blvd.) or Santa Monica Hospital (1245
16th St.)
emergency rooms for our patients who need immediate and critical care.
Inform the
emergency room that you are one of our patients, and the hospital will
contact us.
Prescriptions
Phone requests for new prescriptions or refills can be handled during
office hours.
Please know that we cannot accommodate calls for refilling routine medications
such
as oral contraceptive pills, hormones, or pain medication during weekends,
holidays
or evening hours. Keep track of diminishing supplies of routine medicines
and call
during office hours for refills.
