EMERGENCY
CARE We have pediatric coverage arrangements with Drs. Colantonio, D'Alessandro, DeAngelis, Nevola, and Ohnmacht. We take turns covering for pediatric patients on Wednesdays, weekends, holidays, and vacations. Be assured that in our absence your child will be able to be seen by a qualified pediatrician if needed. We are on the staff of Hasbro Childrens' Hospital and Women & Infants Hospital. The decision to have your child seen at an emergency room, an urgent care center, or at our office the next day will depend on the nature of your child's illness. When on the phone with a doctor
describe
all your child's symptoms
clearly. Please have a pen and paper available and your pharmacy's phone number
at
hand.
If your child has a serious accident, go directly to the emergency room
and have the doctor there call us. Please be aware that if your
phone has activated anonymous caller block, it may be impossible for a
physician to call you from their home or cell phone. You must
dial *86 to de-activate
this feature so that you can receive the call-back. Please do not
save ot *69 the numbers from which we call you, as they may be the
phones of
our friends or relatives that have no knowledge of how to reach us. The ONLY number for you to call us should
be at 943-7337. For poison emergencies, call the Poison
Control Center at
1-800-222-1222.
This number is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Poison
Control Center will give you detailed information regarding your
response to your child's poison accident. Please anticipate the need for prescription refills for when we're in the office. In most cases, the best way to request a prescription refill is to simply call your pharmacy directly. |
| Sorry, but it is both impossible and inappropriate for us to answer medical questions sent by e-mail. Quite simply, the level of concern in a parent's voice cannot be expressed in an e-mail. We therefore do not feel that e-mail is safe, secure, or effective for pediatrician-parent communication. Please call us instead at 943-7337 |
