| Our practice, to keep up with the ever-increasing regional population has also increased the number of medical providers on staff. It has been suggested from you, our patients, that you would rather become familiar with a small group of caregivers, than try to meet all the providers throughout your pregnancy. Therefore we hope you will feel at ease during the birthing experience, knowing that no matter which of the physicians share in your joy, you have met them, and they are well informed and acquainted with both you and your baby. |
The Affiliates team of physicians can usually be found at any of our locations during daily office hours, seeing patients, performing in-office procedures and doing their utmost to provide uninterrupted continuous care. In order to provide 24-hour medical assistance the physicians rotate evening and weekend schedules. This means that one of us is always available after office hours to handle emergencies. Through a centralized computer system, the doctor on-call has access to all medical records and will confidently handle any emergency.
