Medical Emergencies

Dr. Jick and Dr. Chang are on-call often. They try to deliver nearly all of their own patients, but like anyone, doctors take some time off to be with their families and to take occasional vacations.

Be assured that there is always an Ob/Gyn doctor available (on-call) 24 hours a day. If you call when the office is closed, you will either reach a voice mail system or an answering service (“The Exchange”).

If you reach a voice mail, listen carefully and follow the instructions. If you reach the doctor’s exchange, you need to discuss your condition with the operator, a non-medically trained individual.
