Generally, if you are having symptoms that were not discussed or that seem to be unusual then you should call the office to speak with someone on staff. If you are having severe pain, bleeding, fever, wound problems, vomiting, or difficulty with urination then you should contact the office immediately. If it is after hours, you may call the office number for the answering service to connect you to the physician on call. For emergencies, you will have to visit the emergency room or call 911.
