Office Hours
Emergency Care
In the event of a severe emergency, go immediately to the emergency room of the nearest hospital and ask them to contact your doctor.
If the emergency is not that severe and arises while the office is closed, please page Dr. Papiernik at 1-888-240-9395 and he will return your call as quickly as possible.
If an urgent situation arises while the office is open, call the office and the doctor will be in touch with you either directly or through office staff giving you instructions on where to meet for emergency care.
The office is open on the following schedule:

Appointments
We see all patients on an appointment basis, and ask that you call in advance so that we may reserve time for you. The office phone number is (305) 670-5100. We try to see all patients on time, and request that you extend the same courtesy to us.
If you cannot keep an appointment, call (305) 670-5100 to notify us immediately. Please give us 72 hours notice so that time may be given to another patient.
Our staff will confirm by phone all appointments the day before they are scheduled. Our patients will also receive a post card reminding them of their next cleaning appointment, if an appointment cannot be kept, we ask that you call our office and schedule a new one.
We reserve the right to charge for appointments canceled or broken without 72 hours notice.
Telephone Calls
We encourage that you call with questions you may have concerning your dental problems; however, it would be unfair to other patients if the doctor were to disrupt treatment to answer every phone call.
Our staff is trained to answer most questions. If your call requires that the doctor speak with you, please leave a message and the doctor will return your call at the earliest opportunity.
