Text messages from Ophtho On-Call
Operated by Maple Grove Eyecare, P.C. for the Treasure Valley community ophthalmology call group
Ophtho On-Call uses one text number to connect the community ophthalmology call group with the hospitals, clinics and patients who need to reach the ophthalmologist on call. Every message starts with "Ophtho On-Call" so you know who it is from.
Who gets texts, and how you opt in
- Call-group physicians and office staff. You opt in on the sign-in page by entering your mobile number (or your practice's text-enabled line) and requesting a code. The consent statement is shown next to the button. You will then receive sign-in codes, consult pages, call-trade and schedule notices, and announcements to the call group.
- Hospital, ER and clinic staff requesting a consult. On the consult request form, check "Text me updates about this request" next to your callback number. You will receive texts about that request only, such as when the on-call ophthalmologist has seen the page. The box is optional and unchecked by default.
- Anyone who texts our number first, including patients looking for the on-call ophthalmologist. We reply to your message and may continue that conversation. Please do not text patient details; we will point you to the secure form or the right phone number.
