Office Hours and Policies
New Extended Office Hours
We are now open for late appointments on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. Monday until 6:00PM, Tuesdays and Wednesdays until 8:00PM. We also open early (7:30 AM) every morning. Please call before coming in, a provider may be out of the office (if they are sick or at a conference for instance), and in that case staff usually goes home at 4:30.
Appointment Policy
We prefer that all patients be seen by appointment, although we are flexible and will try to accommodate our patients’ needs. We are open week days, from 7:30am until 4:30 to 8pm (depending on the day).
After
Hours Coverage
When the office is closed, Dr. Moghissi carries her cell phone to handle emergencies. When she is on vacation, or on weekends, another local family practitioner may be covering for her. If you have an emergency that requires a doctor’s advice, please call the office to get the number for the doctor on call.
Communication
with the Doctor
Dr. Moghissi notifies her patients of all test results, even if normal. She often sends those results via email, (or we can call with the results). Patients are welcome to communicate back and ask questions of the doctor via email also. If she feels that the problem is too complicated to take care of via email, she will ask you to come in for an office visit. Dr. Moghissi does not check her email on weekends, or when she is out of the office. Please do not email with urgent questions, it is better to call.
