emergency care

If you have an urgent medical problem, please call. We strongly encourage you to call us during regular hours when you feel that you have a medical problem. This allows us to arrange for your care on a non-emergency basis whenever possible. Your doctor may not always be available due to the nature of the profession but will have another physician contact you should this be necessary.

After-hours our answering service will help you in contacting the physician on-call. If you believe you are in labor, call us at the office or after-hours. This will allow us to help assess the situation and may prevent unnecessary emergency room visits and the associated fees. However, if this is a life-threatening situation, do not hesitate to call 911 or go to the nearest hospital. We will be contacted by the hospital staff.

After Hours narcotic policy

It is the policy of Grand Rapids Women's Health not to refill medications or prescribe narcotics outside normal business hours. In an effort to ensure patients' safety, this policy has been established because we do not have ready access to medical records when not in the office. Please call to make these arrangements during regular business hours: 8:30AM - 5:00PM Monday through Friday.
