After hours care

If your child has a medical emergency, please call 9-1-1 or go to your nearest emergency department.

After-hours calls should be limited to urgent issues and emergencies.
During regular business hours (10am to 6pm, Monday through Friday), please call our reception at 650-595-5437 to speak with a doctor.
We do not use a nurse triage service, and you will always speak with a doctor.
The on-call doctor for Whole Child Wellness may be reached after-hours for urgent matters regarding your child through our answering service. Dial our main office number at 650-595-5437 and then dial option 5 to reach our answering service who will page the on-call doctor.
