AFTER HOURS

We take pride in being available for urgent health care issues. Therefore, our physicians can be reached after office hours if necessary. Please call our office number and follow the prompts for Alpenglow Women’s Health to reach a provider. We do share call coverage with our OB/GYN colleagues in the community and they will relay any messages to us during business hours. We ask that patients keep such calls to a minimum, and calls deemed unnecessary or frivolous may incur a $15 fee.

TEST RESULTS

Physicians may order tests to help diagnose and treat your medical condition. You will be notified of any abnormal test result within twenty-four (24) hours of the provider reviewing the report. You will be notified of normal test results within two (2) weeks of the provider reviewing the report. If you do not hear from your provider, please check your patient portal, Healow App. Call the office 907-357-1113 and speak directly to clinical support.
