TO PARENTS OF
OUR YOUNG
PATIENTS...
We are available for scheduled appointments in our Cranston office...
When your child has medical needs outside of office hours which you think are urgent and can't wait until the next day, call 943-7337. Our answering service will call the doctor on call, who will return your call as soon as possible. If for some reason there is no answer after 3 minutes, call the answering service back line at 521-0900.
We have pediatric coverage arrangements with Drs. Colantonio, D'Alessandro, DeAngelis, Mennillo, Nevola, and Ohnmacht. We take turns covering for pediatric patients on 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 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.
We currently participate in the following major health insurance plans:
Those with insurances that do no not
directly cover our fees, or who
self-pay, are expected to pay at the time of service. You may submit
our
bill with your insurance form to your health plan. We will assist you
in
filling out these forms if you ask.
