Is this the right visit?
For stable adults after a recent ER visit.
A practical bridge
You are 18 or older, have recently been discharged from the ER—generally within 14 days—and need outpatient follow-up. Follow the timing recommended in your discharge instructions, even if it is sooner than our 72-hour goal.
Start with telemedicine
Meet by video from a private place in California when clinically appropriate. We serve Orange County, the Inland Empire and Los Angeles. In-person visits are available in Mission Viejo, Corona, and Norwalk; procedures may require an office visit.
Unstable or having an emergency? Go back to the ER. For chest pain, severe trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, uncontrolled bleeding, or another medical emergency, call 911. Follow your ER return precautions. Do not wait for a follow-up visit or a reply to a request.
