Our phone number is (201) 791-4545. Although we only have one phone number,
we have multiple lines into our office to make it easier for you to reach
us. Routine questions regarding child care can often be answered by our
staff after 10 a.m. Anyone with an emergency can always speak to a doctor
immediately, after first providing our staff with the basics of the
problem.
All visits are by appointment only. If a true emergency occurs, you may stop
by our office during regular office hours and we will make every effort to
accommodate you.
After the office closes, calls will be taken by our answering service.
Please provide them with as much information as needed. We usually return
calls within 30- to 60-minutes; however, emergency calls will be returned
immediately. In fact, late at night, emergency calls can be put through to
our home phones. If we fail return your call within one hour, please call
again. This usually means a problem has occurred in the translation of your
message. If we are in the midst of an emergency, (i.e. delivery room, sick
newborn, emergency room), our answering service should alert you to this and
estimate when we will return your call. Life threatening situations should
be handled rapidly by calling your local police department/ambulance. If
your child can be taken to the emergency room of The Valley Hospital,
Chilton Hospital, St. Joseph's Childrens Hospital, or Hackensack University
Medical Center, it will allow us to be involved in all decision making.
