PSF physicians are available for immediate emergency consultation —
24-hours-a-day, 7 days a week. In addition to inpatient and outpatient
services provided at CHOC and CHOC at Mission, many PSF physicians also
provide care at other select sites throughout the greater Orange County
area.
PSF physicians serve as a valuable community resource, working in partnership
with primary care physicians and other healthcare professionals. They
work closely and collaboratively with referring physicians, communicating
throughout the course of treatment. When appropriate during the course
of, or upon completion of, treatment patients are referred back to the
primary care physician for follow-up care and management.
Research is fundamental to medical excellence and advancement. Many PSF
physicians serve as principal investigators for basic research and clinical
research studies, providing patients with access to the newest treatment
options available, based on the latest scientific knowledge, leading technology
and advanced forms of treatment.
PSF physicians are passionate about treating disease and preserving and
improving a child’s quality of life. Their services are complemented
by the multidisciplinary care provided by nurses, pharmacists, respiratory
and occupational therapists, clinical dietitians, child psychologists
and social workers at CHOC and CHOC at Mission, the only exclusively dedicated
pediatric hospitals located in Orange County.
