Phones Calls - After Office Hours

Please help us by restricting calls to those for serious illness or injury.  We provide 24 hours coverage, 365 days a year.  We have a reliable and efficient answering service through St. Louis Children's Hospital to assure that your call is answered promptly.  If you have not been called back within 30 minutes, please notify the answering service.  Our calls are usually answered by a registered nurse, but you may request to speak with our physician on call.

Phone Calls - During Office Hours

We have an excellent staff of RNs available from 9:00 am until 4:30 pm, Monday thru Friday, and 9:00 am to 11:30 am
on Saturday to answer any of your questions about common problems. More serious problems are discussed with the Pediatrician, and then the RN will review the advice with you. This system allows the quickest response to your calls.


PLEASE NOTE the RNs cannot prescribe antibiotics over the phone - no exceptions.
 If you or the RN feels your child may need antibiotics, a same day sick appointment can be made to bring your child into the office to see the doctor.
