For Patient Referral

A Vascular Lab Request form must be filled out by the referring physician prior to scheduling this test. The test desired and the indication for the test must be completed, as well as the physician's pager number, phone number, and fax number.

The completed form is then faxed to (310)794-9603. A staff member from our center will then contact the patient for scheduling an appointment.

Note: Please call (310)206-6294, option 2 to schedule urgent studies, but please fax the requisition beforehand. This number may also be called to facilitate test scheduling if the patient is still in the physician's office.
