Dr. Hastings may not be immediately available by telephone. While she may be in the office when you call, she will not answer the phone when with a client. She does check her messages regularly and will make every effort to return your call on the same day with the exception of weekends and holidays. If you cannot reach Dr. Hastings, and you feel you cannot wait for her to return your call, you should call your family physician or the emergency room at the nearest hospital and ask for the psychiatrist on call. If Dr. Hastings is unavailable for an extended period of time, you will be connected to a trusted colleague who is covering.

If you are difficult to reach, please leave appropriate times and phone numbers when you will be available.
