After Hours Phone Calls

This is a “life or death” emergency.

Although rare, an emergency like this should be dealt with by calling 911 for the most rapid response possible.

“This is an urgent problem and the doctor needs to be paged immediately.”

Call (626) 304-2626, and listen to the message. Press 1 for urgent, and then listen to the next message.

You will be told how to get hold of the on-call ob/gyn doctor. Use this approach whenever there is a problem that you feel cannot wait until the office re-opens for business. When the voice mail message begins, listen to see which doctor is on-call and then follow the instructions.

For emergencies during lunch hours

From 12 p.m. -1:30 p.m.,  when the office is closed, we use a lunchtime numeric pager. Please call 626-867-2032 and follow the instructions.

If you can't reach the doctor and the problem is urgent.

Rarely, there is a problem with the beeper service or the doctor(s) are actively involved in another emergency. You may then call the direct line to the paging service for Dr. Jick, which is 626-867-2337.

Additionally, in an emergency, you may call directly to Huntington Hospital Labor and Delivery, 626-397-5069. There are nurses and a 24-hour on-call obstetrician available. Because this is the actual phone number for L & D, please use it only if absolutely necessary.

For non-urgent messages

If your message can wait until the office re-opens, please call our 24-hour voice mail line at 626-585-0614 and leave a message for any of our employees.

SPEAK CLEARLY PLEASE

When leaving us a message, please speak your phone number slowly and clearly. Some people who know their phone number very well tend to say it quickly and then hang up right after. Many times we cannot hear every number, and then we cannot call you back.
