Telephone advice is limited by Dr. Kelpin's inability to examine the patient in person and to evaluate a patient's symptoms in the light of such an examination. Please remember that the time Dr. Kelpin spends on the telephone will take him away from the time he can devote to the patients who have come to see him in the office and plays havoc with our ability to stay on time for your visits in the office.

Our medical office assistants can advise you as to whether or not you will need to come into the office for a visit but generally most problems need to be dealt with by a visit to our office. With the flow of patients in the office it is also unlikely that Dr. Kelpin will be able to return your call until the end of the day at which time it may delay your office visit until the next day if that is felt to be what is needed.

We have always been able to accommodate our patients in the office in a timely manner and this continues to be the quickest route to solving your medical problems.
