Monday's Winter Weather Plan: February 2, 2026

We Have a Delayed Opening Monday - Both Offices Open at 1:15 PM:

  • Our Monday morning session is canceled at both the Duraleigh and the Brier Creek offices. All appointments prior to noon are canceled. If you have an appointment scheduled prior to noon, please reschedule.
  • We will begin seeing patients in the office at 1:15 PM at both the Duraleigh and the Brier Creek offices. If you have an appointment scheduled after 1:15 PM, you don't need to call - your appointment has not been changed (if you can't make your appointment please do call)


If you need to reach our office...

  • From 8:00 AM to 1:30 PM, our answering service will pass along phone messages to our phone triage nurse and front office (this will be a small staff who will handle urgent calls - if possible hold calls until 1:30 PM).
  • From 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM, we will be taking phone calls as typical directly from both offices.
  • From 5:00 PM until tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 8:00 AM, phone calls go directly to our Nurse Phone Triage service.


If you have a sick child...

  • Nurse phone triage is available 24 hours a day for RCAM families who call our general office phone number (919-781-7490). During office hours, our RCAM phone nurse is available for general questions. For urgent concerns that occur after hours and can't wait until our office opens, our after hours phone nurse triage is available at that same number.
  • The patient portal is another way to ask a question, but please don't use the portal for an urgent, time-sensitive message.
  • There are resources for general pediatric medical questions available on our website: medication dosages, symptom checker, and medical library.
  • You can always call and schedule an appointment. We have same-day, open appointment times available everyday when we open our office each morning.
  • Online scheduling is available. We continue to tweak this evolving option that offers a variety of appointment types.


If you have a newborn...

  • Congratulations! We enjoy helping our families who are in that gloriously challenging time of life.
  • Call to see one of providers for your newborn follow-up appointment.
  • If you would like to meet with our lactation consultant, mention that when you make your appointment. 
  • Here is more information about our lactation services.
