My staff is not able to handle the call volume, hence we made a strategic decision to have the phones go to our answering system. We do triage the calls and get back to you based on their priority. We do our best to return your call with in the same business day. Our system "callmydoc" is capable of recognizing you based on the information you put in the system , like your date of birth and name, directly forwarding your message to your chart. This way I have the reassurance that none of the messages get lost.
We have a better alternative, use your portal. This way your message gets to the right person including myself.
Thank you for understanding.

We had a busy 2 weeks implementing the tele-health using OTTO, which I should say for the most part went well.
We tried to see in person only a handful of people on Thursday with taking the extra precautions and we will be keeping it that way for now, Thursdays are going to be reserved for face to face visits only if it is related to a new medical condition which can not be handled over the phone.
I hope those of you who used the telehealth found it helpful. I know that it was challenging for us too, and we need to adapt to the new situation trying to keep everyone safe and happy!
