AFTER HOURS SERVICES.
Dr. Caplan and a group of other pediatricians in the local community, will be providing after-hours, on-call services for all patients in this office.
Each time your child has a medical problem after regular office hours, that can not wait until the next morning, you must first phone the office at 410-601-8383 to listen to a recorded message telling you the name and phone number of the pediatrician who is on-call. Each Doctor has a different number, so it is very important that you call our office first and then call the number provided on the recording.
In addition, the doctor who is on-call on weekend days or holidays may open their respective office for a short time late in the morning, for children who are ill and need to be examined before the next weekday. If you think that your child needs to be seen on a weekend day or holiday, call early in the day, between 8am and 9am to talk with the provider on-call.
IF THE PROBLEM COULD BE LIFE THREATENING, PLEASE GO TO THE NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM OR DIAL 911 FOR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.
