Is your office closed on Fridays? We are Friday - Sunday and I actually feel badly not being available for patients before the weekend. I feel like Tuesday is a common alternative?

I get that. Have you ever considered starting a private practice?? That would give you the flexibility to meet with patients or even share an on-call number for weekend emergencies. If your current office doesn't prohibit this, you could even try it there if you really want to be more available on the weekends.

As an ED physician who has multiple peds offices in the area with weekend hours. The large majority of pts just show up in the ED without ever calling the pediatric office for non emergencies.

My wife is also a PA for a pediatric office across town who takes weekend call and their office is open 7 days a week. With 24/7 call and she still has office visits as ER follow up for the dumbest things. I guess what I'm getting at is you can have all the hours you want but you still won't get all your patients and if they know you are closed one day a week that will be the day they need something and get angry about it. If you want to work more do it but if not leave it the way it is because you probably will just gain more headaches with adding more hours.

Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry I missed your response before, but I just want to say I appreciate your candor. I think I tend to feel bad no matter what if I miss an opportunity to see a patient who needs me, but I'm going to have to make some changes and hold some better boundaries to protect my time and emotions

We just closed our office on Tuesdays instead of Fridays and so far it seems like our patients really appreciate it. We have a lot of people that can only come in on weekends so they needed some extra time to come in and it has been working really well for us!

Very cool!! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm glad to hear this works for you, in case it's something we are able to do in the future!

We close early on Fridays, but I am only in 3 days of the week.
