Physician Referral and
Information Service
Locates the Right Doctor for You
"W
hen some people need a doctor they may seek the recom-
mendation of a family member or friends. However, we
welcome you to contact SinaiSource physician referral service for
a physician who meets your needs or those of your family. The
service refers callers to more than 500 members of Sinai's
active medical staff in specialties from obstetrics/gynecology to
cardiology, orthopedic surgery and family practice.
When you call 1-800-248-3627, you will be asked to identify
which type of physician you need (Sinai's representatives can help
you do this), a preferred office location and your health insurance.
Feel free to discuss special requests such as your preference for
either a male or female physician. We will make every attempt
to refer you directly to the type of physician you've requested and
make an appointment during your call.
After calling Sinai's physician referral service, you will receive
additional information in the mail on the physicians including
their educational and training background, specialties, subspe-
cialties and office hours.
If you or a member of your family needs a physician, please call
SinaiSource.

Our Apologies
The name of a distin-
guished, active member of
Sinai Hospital's Department
of Psychiatry was mistak-
enly omitted from the active
medical staff listing in the
Fall 1994 issue of Health-
News, which focused on Psy-
chiatric and Neurological
Services. Our sincere apolo-
gies to Psychiatrist Howard
Brode, M.D., who contin-
ues to practice with Sinai.
These are physicians in the Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery and
Department of Medicine subspecialty of cardiovascular diseases who actively practice at Sinai.
They provide specialty services in numerous areas and have offices throughout southeastern
Michigan. For a referral to a physician close to your home or office who accepts your medical
insurance, call 1-800-248-3627 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
