Getting Started With Orthopaedics

Are you experiencing pain, discomfort or limited mobility due to a bone or joint condition, or sports injury? Cedars-Sinai's care experts want to make sure you know what to expect with every step of your treatment, and feel comfortable as you move forward. Here's what you need to know to get started with Cedars-Sinai Orthopaedics.

New Patients, Referrals and Second Opinions

Every patient's needs are different, so we recommend starting with a call to 1-800-CEDARS-1 (1-800-233-2771). We'll begin by asking a few simple questions to determine your first steps. Depending on your condition, insurance coverage and other factors, we can assist you with finding a specialist or getting a referral from your primary care doctor.

If you've already been diagnosed or treated by a doctor outside the Cedars-Sinai network and would like a second opinion, we can assist you. We've had tremendous success helping people get back to living a pain-free, active life.

Once you've set an appointment, your specialist's office will give you specific instructions for your first visit.
