Helpful Information and Hints

Emergencies

If you have an emergency after hours, you can reach the doctor on call at
312-649-2946. Please utilize this service only for true emergencies. This should not be used for routine medication refills or for general health questions that could wait until the next business day.

 

 

Appointments

Our phones open up at 8 am. If you need an appointment, remember that the earlier you call, the better of a chance you will have of being seen that day. For more information, Click here...>>>

 

 

Office Visits

In order to streamline your visit and provide excellent care, please fill out a “Review of Systems” form every 6 months. There is a form that is downloadable from the “Appointments” section on this site; or, you will be given one at the time of your visit.

 

In addition, please bring a list of all of your current medications with you to each visit. Include dosage and frequency. We cannot emphasize this enough. 

 

 

Lab Procedures and Results

Fasting Labs: This means a 12 hour fast. You may drink water or black coffee only, and you should take your medications that are scheduled for the day.

Lab Results: Lab results will be mailed within 10 days. Please do not call for results unless greater than 10 days have elapsed OR if otherwise instructed.

 

 

Messages

Messages are reviewed, triaged, and returned throughout the day until 4 pm. Please plan accordingly. Any message left after 4 pm will be returned the following day. When leaving a message, please leave the spelling of your name, date and time, and nature of call.

 

 

Prescription Refills

The best time for refills is during your office visit. If you do need a refill outside of an office visit, please allow at least 24 hours for the refill to be called in.

 

 

Non-Medical Issues

These are handled on a case by case basis. Please be cognizant of the fact that this is a medical office with a priority for health issues.
