Referrals & Care Coordination
At Stellar Physical Medicine, healthcare is approached as a team effort. When additional medical evaluation or specialized care is appropriate, the practice works with your healthcare team and recommended medical affiliates to help coordinate the care you need.
This approach reflects Stellar's commitment to integrating modern medical science with Traditional Chinese Medicine and other natural medical approaches.
What Is Care Coordination?
Care coordination involves communication and collaboration between healthcare professionals involved in a patient's care.
Rather than viewing different healthcare approaches as separate, coordinated care can help ensure that appropriate therapies are considered at the appropriate time.
