Reaching Dr. Nathan

When you call my office, you may reach my voice mail. Unless you request otherwise or unless my outgoing message instructs you that I am away, I will make every effort to return your call the same day if it is placed during business hours. If you are difficult to reach, please leave times when you will be available. I retrieve some messages while outside my office, so always leave a phone number with your message, even if you think I have it, and speak especially clearly when leaving the number. During evenings, weekends and holidays, I can usually be paged for emergencies only. If you cannot reach me (or a colleague who is covering for me), and there is an emergency, you should call your family physician or go to the nearest emergency room. If requesting a refill for a prescription, please leave the name of the medication, the dose, and the number of a pharmacy. I will usually call the pharmacist on the same day for requests left during business hours. Even so, you should give me advance notice for refills, especially near a weekend or holiday.
