Telephone Calls
 
  By Dr. Karen Ilika
A receptionist is available to take your phone call 8:30 am until 5:00 pm Monday through Thursday, and until noon on Friday. The phones are turned off for an hour at lunch and on occasion due to staff meetings. When the phones are off a voicemail system is in place. The busiest phone times seem to be Monday mornings. Try to place your calls early afternoon for more prompt attention.

At night and on weekends you can leave a non-urgent message on voicemail. (I would encourage you to use the online system instead. That way no one has to guess as to how to spell your name.)

If you need the immediate attention of the doctor on call, please follow the prompts on the voicemail to activate the paging system. You should receive a reply within the hour. If for any reason you do not receive a response or have a medical emergency, please go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.
