What should I do if I am experiencing an emergency or crisis?
If you are experiencing a psychiatric or medical emergency, including thoughts of suicide or self-harm, thoughts of harming someone else, severe confusion, psychosis, or an inability to keep yourself safe, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. You may also call or text 988 in the United States for immediate crisis support.
This practice is not an emergency service and the website, email, and voicemail are not monitored continuously for urgent or emergency concerns. Do not use these methods to seek immediate medical or crisis assistance.
If you are experiencing a non-emergency concern that requires prompt attention, please contact the practice directly during business hours for guidance.
