Coordinated Subspecialty Treatment (Cedars-Sinai)
Seamless referrals and connected care with leading Cedars-Sinai subspecialists, guided by a physician who knows your whole story.
How Cedars-Sinai Care Coordination Works
Coordination begins with a thoughtful review of your symptoms, history, and test results so the right subspecialist is matched to your needs. Dr. Golian shares relevant records, lab work, and her clinical context directly with the consulting physician, so you don't have to repeat your story or carry paperwork between offices.
Throughout the process, she remains your central point of contact, helping interpret recommendations and integrating specialist guidance into your ongoing care plan. Whether you need cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, or another field, she facilitates the specialist referral and coordination end to end.
How to Prepare for a Subspecialty Referral
Before your specialist visit, gather any recent imaging, outside records, and a current list of your medications so Dr. Golian can include them in the referral. A brief medication reconciliation helps ensure the consulting physician has an accurate, up-to-date picture.
It also helps to write down your questions and any changes in your symptoms. If your referral relates to an ongoing condition such as high blood pressure or cardiovascular risk, recent lab results and home readings give the specialist valuable context.
After Your Specialist Visit
Once you've seen the subspecialist, Dr. Golian reviews their findings with you, answers your questions, and folds any new recommendations into your personalized care plan. She helps reconcile new medications and arranges any follow-up testing or monitoring that's advised.
You stay connected to one physician who understands the full picture, so care between Cedars-Sinai and your primary practice remains coordinated rather than fragmented. Ongoing follow-up keeps your treatment on track over time.
