After Hours/Emergencies

For Urgent Needs When Our Office Is Closed

After hours phone calls are received by our answering service. They will take your information and send a message to the Children's Mercy After Hours Nurse Triage line. A trained pediatric nurse will assist with your urgent need. If necessary, the triage nurse will relay your message to the physician on-call for our office. 


The fee for this service will be $15 per call.


If your call is non-urgent, please call our office during normal business hours (Monday-Thursday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and Friday 8:00am to 4:00pm) where our office nurses can assist you.


If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, see their website to chat with them online, or text HOME to 741741 (multiple languages available). Text CONNECT to 741741 for free, 24/7 help for depression.
