After Hours

If An Emergency Should Arise, Please Call 911

Emergencies are considered to be those conditions that are life-threatening: loss of consciousness, severe bleeding, seizure, etc. In the case of minor emergencies (lacerations, cuts, mild fractures, sprains), please call our office first for instructions.


On-Call Providers

We have a physician on call 24/7/365. When our office is closed overnight and you have an urgent issue that cannot wait until morning, you can call our main number for advice.


Our office uses AccessNurse for our after hours calls. This is a 3rd party service in Tennessee. They use Dr. Barton-Schmidt guidelines to advise on health conditions and when your child should be seen immediately. They also provide the information to your physician to review on the next business day. 


The after-hours call line should not be used to request appointments or request refills.


Please familiarize yourself with our Office Hours. (Self-Scheduling Visits are available any time of day.) 


Please call during office hours to schedule, reschedule, or cancel an appointment.


Medication refills can be requested through the Patient Portal  or during office hours.


You may wish to check the "Is Your Child Sick?" section of our website for helpful information before using this service. Read more about After Hours care.


Help is available 24/7
