Telephone
(760) 591-0955 Main office phone number (available 24
hours/day). After office hours, you will be given the choice of leaving
a message for the receptionist (which will be played the next business
day) or having one of the doctors paged (in case of
urgencies/emergencies). Please bear in mind that, in some cases,
it can take several minutes for a page to reach it's destination. The
doctors try their best to respond to calls within 10 minutes of their
reception.
If 15-20 minutes go by, and you have not heard
back from the doctor, please try paging again through the office number
as described above.
The physicians' direct pager telephone numbers are
follow this
paragraph. Recognize that these are back-up numbers only
(in case something happens to the office telephone system)
and should not be used
routinely as 1) it cannot accept voice messages and 2) the doctor may be
away with pager turned off (with the other physician taking call).
Always try paging the doctor on call through
the office telephone system first!!!

***Dr. Giesemann's pager: 760-631-6122.Call

Reminder: do not
leave requests for routine prescription renewals with our office. Instead,
please call your pharmacy directly. They will fax us the request form
and we will respond as soon as possible. However, if there is an acute
problem (e.g. bad infection and you think that you need an antibiotic),
you should always call the office. Faxed pharmacy requests should be for
chronic meds only, not acute urgencies!
