In an emergency, call the regular Center for Primary Care office number. During office hours, this call will be answered by the CPC staff, who may instruct you to come to the office or go directly to the Emergency Room. At night and on weekends, your call will be answered by the CPC answering service, and one of the CPC physicians will call you back quickly.

– Bring your medication bottles so we will know exactly what you are taking.
– Which hospitals or physician offices have copies of your past medical records?
– For children, remember to bring immunization records.
– Try to arrive a half hour early and bring all your medical insurance information ( your insurance card).
