Emergencies
In case of an emergency that occurs after hours, on a weekend or a holiday please call the main office telephone number, press 0 and an operator will assist you in contacting Dr. Meere. Alternatively you may consider going to your local emergency room, the immediate care unit at the HJD or the emergency room at NYUMC.
Messages
Every message is important to the office. However not all messages are urgent. Dr. Meere's staff is trained to prioritize phone calls. Non-urgent messages left on the voicemail will be returned within 24 hours. All pertinent medical queries are discussed with Dr. Meere. In order to avoid delays in response time, Dr. Meere may delegate the answer of routine issues to his staff. Whenever personal communication with the patient is necessary Dr. Meere will personally call back.
Languages
We can assist you in English, Spanish, German and French.
