If you need urgent medical attention outside of our office hours, please go directly to the nearest emergency department or call 911.
For our pediatric patients, weekend hours are available by appointment at our Parkcenter Blvd location in Boise and our Celebration Ave location in Meridian. One of our physicians will always be on call. If you need to inquire about your child's illness or injury when our office is closed, please call (208) 706-6400 and follow the prompts to leave a message for a triage nurse. In most cases, we will be able to respond to your call within 2 hours. If the physician needs to be involved, the triage nurse will contact him or her for you. Please limit your calls to urgent problems that cannot wait until office hours. We recommend that you take your child to the emergency room for emergencies only.
