Your doctor’s nurse returns phone calls on the same day, in between patient appointments. If your call is urgent, please let the receptionist know this when you call. Your nurse will tell your doctor about any problems. If you want to speak to your doctor, tell your nurse.

Test Results

To receive your latest test results, please call our office, discuss them at your next visit, or check MyChart. 

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy and other systemic agents, such as endocrine or targeted medications, may be used to treat cancer. Other specialized drugs or therapies may be administered to treat (or prevent) other conditions, such as osteoporosis, anemia, blood disorders and high-risk pregnancies.

These therapies may be administered intravenously (directly into the bloodstream with an IV), orally or by injection. Schedules and durations of treatment vary by the condition, and from patient to patient. Your doctor and treatment team will give you information on your specific regimen, its side effects and expectations for success.

After Hours

We encourage you to call our answering service with medical concerns after hours and on weekends. One of our staff doctors is available 24/7.

Useful information to have available when you call includes:

• Your doctor’s name
• Condition for which you are being treated
• Medications you are taking, including chemotherapy
• Explanation of symptoms and concerns

Prescriptions

Please allow 24 hours for prescription refills.

Try to keep all of your prescription renewals up to date because it’s often difficult (or impossible, with controlled drugs) for the on-call doctor to call in a medication. These prescriptions need to be handwritten and picked up and taken to a pharmacy.

Pharmacy

Retail drugstore for patients.

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
