The doctors of Amherst Family Practice do not admit patients to the hospital; we have chosen to concentrate our attention on office practice with extended hours. Amherst Family Practice physicians remain courtesy members of the Winchester Medical Center (WMC) staff and will be kept informed of our patients’ progress. For necessary hospital care, our doctors will refer you to the Emergency Room for direct admission to the WMC.
If an urgent situation occurs while the office is open, call the office and you will be given instructions on the actions you should take.
