Clinical Matters

• Private patients: I do NOT currently see private patients. Ordinarily I am only able to see patients who already have a primary care provider/primary physician at UCLA.

•Insurance Matters: Californians can select UCLA Health as their healthcare provider through Anthem Blue Cross EPO (Pathway-Tiered). This includes the individual plans Bronze EPO, Silver EPO, Gold EPO and Platinum EPO. Individuals can call Anthem Blue Cross at (866) 773-0694 for more information about these plans.

UCLA Health has created a webpage with additional information and some guidance on signing up under CoveredCalifornia: uclahealth.org/coveredca. You can also speak with representatives at UCLA’s Physician Referral Service at (877) 825-2212.

• Scheduling: If you are a current or prospective patient with scheduling concerns, please contact the clinic where you see me. I am not able to reschedule you myself. Last-minute cancellations or rescheduling are subject to the cancellation policy of the clinic in question.

• Emergencies: In case of a medical or psychiatric emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Email and voicemail communications may be delayed and are not advised for urgent or emergent matters.

• Routine messages & refills: For routine clinical matters (such as medication refills), please leave a voicemail on my office phone with your name, date of birth, the number of your pharmacy, and the medication in question: 310-794-8296.

Please be aware that Schedule II medications such as stimulants (Ritalin/Concerta/methylphenidate, Adderall, & Vyvanse) require a security prescription script and cannot be called in. You will need to pick up a hard-copy prescription at the clinic where I see you. I am not able to mail or fax these prescriptions. Please plan your refills accordingly.

• Voicemail: If you want me to call you back, please tell me whether I can leave a message on your voicemail.

• Urgent messages: For urgent matters that cannot wait until the next business day, please have me paged through the UCLA Page Operator: 310-825-6301.

• Coordination of care: If you are a current or former patient and you wish me to speak with your other healthcare providers, or you are a current provider for one of my patients and you wish to discuss coordination of care, please fax me a signed Authorization for Release of Information at 424-652-2213. Two versions are needed: one authorizing me to release information to your other providers, and one authorizing them to release information to me.

• UCLA Forms:

• Medical Records: If you are a current or former patient and you wish to obtain copies of your medical records, please contact UCLA Medical Records directly:
