Together, these physicians will review your personal care plan to ensure that you have ongoing access to the latest technologies, treatments and specialty care as needed.
As part of our commitment to patient-centered care, we offer uniquely convenient scheduling at our clinic, including:
During weekends and holidays, we have agreements in place with other community health care offices to ensure you receive care when needed. Your UC Davis on-call physician will coordinate referral to these clinics, when appropriate.
UC Davis patients also have access to MyUCDavisHealth, a free web-based system that provides secure messaging for appointment requests, test results and more.
When referrals are necessary, we refer our patients to UC Davis specialists and facilities (depending on your insurance plan).
If your physician feels that a referral to a specialist or a diagnostic test is appropriate, our staff will pursue authorization with your insurance company. Once the referral is approved, you will receive a notice and instructions about how to schedule an appointment.
