After Hours and Emergency Care:

If your child is too sick to wait for the office to open, please page the on-call physician at our regular office number, 301.656.2745, and follow the prompts.

  1. Enter your phone number with area code.
  2. State the patient's name slowly and spell it.
  3. State your name.
  4. Leave a BRIEF message.

ALSO, please take his/her temperature and have a pharmacy number available in case a prescription needs to be called in when you speak to the doctor. We will call back within a half hour. In the event you haven’t heard from us in about 30 minutes, please page us again.

We see sick children Saturday, Sunday and holidays, usually in the late morning. Please page the doctor in the morning to discuss whether a visit is needed.
