Emergencies & After-Hours

All offices of the Pediatric Group are open Monday through Friday beginning at 7:30am (walk-in sick hours are available every day at each location from 7:30am to 8:30am). For your convenience, all locations offer extended evening hours which vary by provider. Please call the Care Line at 410-721-CARE (2273) to find out your provider's after-hours availability.

If you have a medical emergency, call 911.
If you have a poisoning emergency, contact the Poison Help Hotline 1-800-222-1222

After Hours Care
The Pediatric Group phone lines are available 7 days a week and on holidays from 6:00am until 12:00 midnight. Please call our main number at 410-721-CARE (2273) to schedule an appointment or reach the on-call provider for urgent medical concerns. After midnight, our on-call provider can be reached at 443-481-3125 for emergency calls only.

For non-urgent, after-hour medical calls, including prescription refills, a $15.00 fee will apply. This charge will not be billed to your insurance. It will be billed to the parent directly and payable within 30 days. If the on-call provider refers you to the emergency room or to our office the next day, the after-hours charge will be waived. In addition, if you have questions relating to an office visit that occurred within 48 hours of your call, no charge will be billed.

While the providers of the Pediatric Group are always available to provide the care you need, we do encourage you to contact our office during normal business hours for non-urgent matters.

Thank you.
