When you are pressed for time, the last thing you need is trouble reaching a colleague with whom you wish to confer. And, in the technologically advanced age of automated calling systems, we know how frustrating it is to deal with a series of voice mail boxed and push-button response systems. What you really want is a person at the other end of the phone who provides prompt and personal attention.

That's why the Stony Brook University Hospital recently launched DOC-TO-DOC, the special telephone service tailored to meet your consulting and referral needs. Answered by a service professional familiar with the center's wide array of services, the DOC-TO-DOC telephone system provides you with easy and fast access to the specialist you wish to speak with.

Your telephone counselor will stay on the line with you until your connection has been made.
