  • After hours and on weekends, Dr. Smith can be reached for emergencies through the answering service at (562) 424-9444.
     
  • Urgent appointments may be made on a "work in" basis for problems such as recent injury, sudden pain, diabetic foot infections, and even ingrown toenails.
     
  • Work-related injuries should be scheduled through the appropriate workers' compensation insurance carrier.  The carrier will then notify the patient of the scheduled appointment time and make arrangements to forward all x-rays and medical records to our office for review.  Emergency care for any industrial injury can be rendered without the insurance company's authorization, but authorization is required for follow-up care.  Work-related injuries are managed through the Long Beach office.

        Personal Checks
