For Referring Physicians

The Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford Pediatric Radiology program recognizes the challenges facing every practice when referring patients to other clinics and physicians. Our team has developed a number of resources to enhance this experience for our referring health care providers.

Consultations

Please call (650) 497-8376 to consult with a radiologist. Our physicians are accessible and happy to assist you with:

  • Questions regarding specific patient radiology interpretations.
  • General questions concerning the most effective imaging modality to properly diagnose your patient.

Refer a patient

New-patient appointments for pediatric radiology must be initiated by a health care provider.

  1. Please fax a completed radiology referral form (PDF) to us at (650) 724-2663 to schedule an exam.
  2. We will call the patient’s family as soon as we receive the form from your office.
  3. One of our radiologists will review the form. If our attending radiologists believe a different exam would have a clinical or safety advantage, we will contact your office, if necessary.
  4. We will call the patient’s family to schedule an appointment.

If your patient is pregnant and you would like to schedule a fetal imaging appointment, please contact the Fetal and Pregnancy Health Program.
