Weekdays (except Wednesday) I am available for telephone calls from 12 to 12:30 and 5 to 5:30. It will be easiest for you to reach me during those times. During the evenings or days the office is closed you may leave a message with my answering service at (707) 571-7074. In the event of emergency, go directly to the nearest emergency room, or call my answering service and they will reach me. If a telephone consultation is longer than 5 minutes or results in a treatment recommendation, you will be charged at a rate proportional to my hourly office rates.
