Your Physician Visit

Welcome to the University of California, San Diego Medical Center. Our physicians, nurses and front office personnel are here to assist you in receiving the best possible care.

UCSD is the region’s only academic medical center, which means we bring special expertise and experience to the care of our patients. You will benefit from the team approach and may find that in addition to your personal doctor, a group of highly skilled health professionals is working to provide your care. We hope this additional attention contributes to your well-being and peace of mind.

Registration

To register as a new patient or to update your registration:

  • If you are new to UCSD Medical Center, you must register as a new patient prior to scheduling any appointment.  This is done by telephone and only takes a few minutes. 

    Call (888) 309-8273, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Select the option that says, "New Patient Registration." 

  • If you are an established UCSD Medical Center patient and your ID card has expired or you have a change of address/phone number/insurance/ER contact, you must update your registration.

    Call (888) 309-8273, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Select the option that says, "New Patient Registration."

  • If you seek urgent care through the emergency room, you will be registered when you arrive.  If possible, bring your insurance cards with you.

    If you are admitted via emergency medical services (911) and are unable to register yourself, a patient services representative will assist you or your family in registering retroactively. When you initially arrive via ambulance and if you are unable to respond,  you will be registered under a pseudonym depending on your type of illness/injury. Later, your records will be merged.
