Office Policies & Information

Office Hours

Call (859) 441-7600 for an appointment

We will be able to see acute (recent onset) sick visits on the same day that you call. Complex or chronic problems, behavior problems, well checks and sports physicals often need a longer appointment and therefore should be scheduled in advanced.

Phone Calls for Medical Questions

From 7:30am-4:45 pm call our office at (859) 441-7600 and give the receptionist your child’s name, date of birth, phone number and a brief description of your concerns and our nurse will call you back.   If she cannot answer your questions, she will then talk to the doctor and either call you back or have the doctor call you back.  Our nurses speak with our health care providers if they are unsure of how to handle any situation. Also please see Emergencies link.

Prescription Refills

Call our office (859) 441-7600 Monday through Friday 8 AM to 4:45 pm or have your pharmacy call or fax us a refill form.  Refills may take up to 48 hours to complete.
