How to Contact
I am available to my clients for urgent and emergent issues 24/7. In order to provide the high-touch level of care I value, there are some easy boundaries for communication that respect my personal time also. If I am at a birth or recovering from one, I may need a little extra time to respond to non-urgent issues. My clients are always very understanding of this but it’s often helpful to share the following:
By Email:
-
Anytime on any day
-
Response time 24-48 hours
-
Appropriate for non-urgent issues, questions or concerns.
-
If you do not receive a response in the time frame mentioned above, please reach out via phone/ text.
By Phone:
-
(310) 663-3706
-
I should pick up on the first try. If I do not, please leave a message and call back in 5 minutes. Also, follow up with a text message that it's an urgent issue.
-
Appropriate for emergencies, urgent issues, questions or concerns. This is something that should not wait 2-4 hours for a response. (See the accompanying ‘Warning Signs in Pregnancy’ for what these items are.)
-
If you have a non-urgent issue that you prefer to speak on the phone about, please email or text me to set up a phone appointment.
By Text:
-
(310) 663-3706
-
Please keep texting in between 9am-9pm Mon-Fri (Please note I try to take Saturdays and Sundays off so only text if urgent)
-
I usually respond in 2-4 hours during these days/hours, please call if your concern becomes urgent while you are waiting for a response.
-
Otherwise, I am usually happy to text with you about various things in between appointments.
