An important part of our service to our patients is 24 hour availability because significant illnesses and injuries can occur at anytime. We rotate after hours call responsibilities to provide continuous call coverage for our patients at all times. We do appreciate only receiving calls pertaining to emergency and urgent medical problems which cannot wait until our regular office hours. It is important that you know your child’s medical history including the names of any medical conditions, the names of medications prescribed along with the names of any medication allergies. Please refer to the section on telephone consultation for information on how to contact us by telephone after hours.

If your child develops medical problems after our regular office hours at night and on weekends, we generally recommend the After Hours Clinic at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Their hours of operation are: Monday through Friday 5:00 pm until 8:45 pm and Saturday and Sunday 9:00 am until 7:45 pm. If an after-hours problem arises with your child, consult the appropriate section of this handbook. If the handbook directs you to call or if you have further questions, then place a call to our answering service. We will help you determine if a referral to the After Hours Clinic at Arkansas Children’s Hospital is advised. Some insurance plans require that your doctor refer to an ER or After-Hours clinic for the visit to be financially covered. So, this is an important step.

Recently, urgent care clinics have come into existence in the Pulaski County area. Even though urgent care clinics are often conveniently located and have extended hours, please know that they are not generally staffed by pediatricians who are specifically trained to treat children. For this reason, we do not recommend using them.

In case of extreme emergency in which there is an immediate need for a physician to sustain life, we recommend taking your child to the nearest emergency room or calling 911. A physician is on duty 24 hours a day at each of the emergency rooms in the Pulaski County area. We should be notified of your arrival.
