W
hen you need a doctor some people seek the
recommendation of a family member or
friends. However, we welcome you to contact Sinai
Hospital's physician referral service for a physi-
cian who meets your needs or those of your fam-
ily. The service refers callers to more than 500
members of Sinai's active medical staff in spe-
cialties from obstetrics/gynecology to cardiology
to orthopedic surgery to family practice.
When you call 1-800-248-3627, you will be asked
to identify which type of physician you need
(Sinai's operators can help you do this), a preferred
office location and your health insurance. Feel
free to discuss special requests such as a male
or female physician or one who speaks a particu-
lar foreign language. We will make every attempt
to refer you directly to the type of physician you've
requested to make an appointment at that time.
After calling Sinai's physician referral service,
you will receive in the mail additional informa-
tion on the physicians including their education-
al and training background, specialties and
subspecialties and office hours.
If you or a member of your family needs a physi-
cian, please call Sinai's physician referral service:
