To help us serve you:

• Please try to be on time for your appointments. Punctuality helps us to see our patients at their scheduled appointment time. We consider your time and ours very valuable and make every effort to keep our office running on time. Since we do not practice obstetrics, emergencies rarely take us away from regularly scheduled appointments.
  
• If you are going to be more than 10 minutes late, please call to let us know.
  
• If you cannot keep a scheduled appointment, let us know 24 hours in advance.
  
• If you are a new patient and cannot keep your appointment, please let us know 48 hours in advance. We allot additional time for your first visit to our office and would appreciate knowing well in advance if you cannot make it.

Emergencies
If you have a gynecologic emergency, one of our physicians is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year to care for all of our established patients. After office hours or on weekends, call our office number and follow the instructions you will be given. The phone number is (310) 451-8144. Our exchange will notify us. We recommend Saint John’s Hospital (20th at Santa Monica Blvd.) or Santa Monica Hospital (1245 16th St.) emergency rooms for our patients who need immediate and critical care. Inform the emergency room that you are one of our patients, and the hospital will contact us.

Prescriptions
Phone requests for new prescriptions or refills can be handled during office hours. Please know that we cannot accommodate calls for refilling routine medications such as oral contraceptive pills, hormones, or pain medication during weekends, holidays or evening hours. Keep track of diminishing supplies of routine medicines and call during office hours for refills.
