After hours calls and Weekends
Southwest Pediatrics offers an after-hours answering service to address urgent calls from parents. This service should only be used for urgent medical concerns. Non-urgent calls should be made during our regular office hours. Examples of non-urgent calls include:
- Requests for prescription refills.
- Dosing schedules for Tylenol and Motrin.
- Discussing your child’s health problems that are chronic and not urgent in nature.
- General feeding questions.
- Behavioral problems.
Many common questions are addressed in our Advice section, which contains links to resources for caring for your child at home.
One of our physicians is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. Note that the physicians do not have access to medical charts and therefore will not call in prescription refills after hours. To access the answering service for urgent concerns, call our office for instructions. Be prepared to provide information regarding your child’s name, age, problem or concern and the telephone number you can be reached at.
Appointments
Patients are seen by appointment only. If you need to schedule an appointment for an urgent or sick visit, call our office at (206) 243-4811.
