At UCSF Health, we want patients to get the care they need. And that means making it as simple as possible for referring physicians to send their patients to us.
When referring one of your patients to UCSF, you can use MDLink or contact our doctors or clinics directly. (Search for specific doctors and clinics on our Refer a Patient page.)

You can also get help from one of our referral services:
Physician liaisons are your direct connection to care at UCSF. They can expedite the referral process, help you obtain follow-up information, and help resolve any issues that come up. Liaisons can also visit your practice or medical groups and examine specific health plans to provide more information.
