CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
MARCH 18, 2020
Dear Patient of FOWH,

These are difficult times for us all. We are short-staffed and we are getting many phone calls. We ask our patients to please understand if there is a delay in returning your call. Every concern you have is important to us and we are doing our best.

URGENT CALLS and MESSAGES
  1. There is always an ob/gyn physician on call for our patients 24/7.
  2. Our office closes at 5 pm every day, M-F. All calls after that go to our after-hours system. The on-call doctor's job is to handle emergencies and urgent problems only. Many of these doctors are not in our group, do not have access to our charts and likely do not know what someone in the office may have told you. There is an after-hours message line and we check those messages every morning.
  3. [at the bottom of this page are the on-call doctors for our group]
  4. If you have a problem that can wait until the office opens, please call during office hours.
  5. If you leave a message requesting a call back and you do not get one, please don't call back after 5 pm. Call us again at 3:30 pm or later.
  6. Send an e-mail to: obgyn@fowh.com. We check these during office hours. Do not use e-mail for any urgent problems.

OB Patients: If you are in labor, or leaking fluid, or bleeding (not bloody show), then do not call the on-call doctor. Just go to Labor and Delivery. The on-call doctor is getting a lot of calls and we need our patients to call only when absolutely necessary.
 
If you think you have a COVID-19 infection, please refer to our web page. There is no need to call us. All the advice you need should be on our web page.
