Appointments

We understand your time is valuable

Our physicians and staff make every effort to remain on schedule as much as possible. We look to our patients to also being prompt to assist us with staying on time. If you are more than 20 minutes late, your appointment may be cancelled in fairness to the patients who have arrived for their appointments on time. It is also important to be very clear what your needs are when you are scheduling your appointment so we may allow enough time for your appointment to address all your concerns.

Due to the nature of obstetric practices, physicians may be called out suddenly for deliveries and emergencies, sometimes with little to no notice. We will make every effort to notify you as soon as possible if your appointment will be delayed or cancelled. We appreciate your patience and understanding when these situations arise. Whenever possible, your appointment will be transitioned to another provider to assure your medical needs are met.

When making appointments, please leave us a phone number where you think you will reachable just before the visit. It is also recommended that you call the office before leaving to the office for a status check. Make an appointment on-line.

Please notify us if you are not able to keep your appointment. A 24- hour notice is very much appreciated. This enables us to contact someone who may need that appointment time.

Telephone Messages

Our telephone lines are open throughout the day and answered by our reception staff. Please feel free to call the office anytime for questions or concerns.

Non-urgent and routine messages are typically returned by the staff after patient care hours and are answered according to medical priority. Throughout the day, the physicians and nurse practitioners will return more urgent phone messages (based on medical priority). General messages left after 3pm will be answered the following day.

After hours, phones are answered by our answering service and the on-call physician will be paged. Please limit your calls to medically urgent calls only, especially during late evening and early morning hours.

If you are expecting a return call from the office after hours and you have call blocking on your telephone, please UNBLOCK your phone. Our on-call physicians cannot call back to blocked lines.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Camelback Women’s Health exercises the right to impose a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY with regard to violent or abusive patients.

We believe everyone has the inalienable right to enjoy a peaceful work environment, free from threats, intimidation, or violence. We also believe our patients and visitors should feel comfortable in our offices at all times and not be exposed to the poor behavior of others.

We consider abusive behavior to be any aggressive or threatening comments, including cursing, swearing, foul language, bullying, personal attacks, intimidation, aggressive gestures, harassment, inappropriate conduct, or threats of violence. Any such behavior is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated for any reason.

Any patient (including guests and/or family members) verbally abusing staff, providers, or disturbing fellow patients will be immediately removed from our practice. If an apology letter is received within 5 business days, we will determine whether any considerations will be made on a case by case basis. A repeat offense will warrant permanent and irrevocable dismissal from the practice, regardless of the circumstances.

In the event of bodily contact, physical abuse, act of violence, aggressive physical contact by person or by object, or property damage, we will consider this to be an assault and the authorities will be notified immediately. Any act of violence will result in an immediate and permanent discharge from our practice.

In turn, we expect our staff to treat our patients and visitors with the utmost respect and mutual consideration. If you experience a problem with any member of our staff or witness inappropriate or unacceptable behavior by others it should be immediately reported to our Practice Manager, Laura Sue Fein, at 602.494.5050 or [email protected].
