Note: It is not the policy of this practice to treat illness over the telephone. If you are ill, we would like you to make an appointment so that we may evaluate your problem properly.
Patients are seen by appointment only. Please call 607-432-1163 Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. -5:00 p.m. to schedule an appointment. Routine checkups can be scheduled up to three months in advance. If you require a same day appointment, we encourage you to call our office early in the morning. Please provide the medical assistant with as much information as possible when scheduling your appointment. Every effort is made to see you at the time of your scheduled appointment, however patients with urgent or special problems may take precedence. You may notice patients who arrived after you being called into the exam room ahead of you. These patients are probably seeing a nurse or nurse practitioner or may require a special set-up in an available room.
We discourage missed or no-show appointments. They are an inconvience to our staff as well as to other patients. Please contact our office as soon as possble if are unable to come to an appointment.
After hours and on weekends and holidays, our telephones are answered by an answering service. Urgent messages will be realyed to the physician on call by the FoxCare answering service.
Just as we cannot treat an illness over the telephone, we cannot prescribe medications over the telephone. Long term medications refills will be handled during regular office hours and ONLY if you are under our care. If you need long term medication refills, have the name and/or Rx number of the medication, the pharmacy name, and the dosage available when you call. It is most important to call for refills early in the day, so that we may have ample time to handle your request.
NO ROUTINE PRESCRIPTIONS WILL BE HANDLED AFTER REGULAR OFFICE HOURS OR ON A WEEKEND.
