You have been evaluated in the Olive View-UCLA Emergency Department today for abdominal pain. Your evaluation suggests that your pain is due to gallstones. It is not emergent at this time but it is recommended that you make an appointment at a surgery clinic to be evaluated to have your gallbladder removed.
We will give you a referral to general surgery at olive view. They will call you with an appointment time in the future to discuss elective surgery. Please call (818) 364-3129 if you do not receive an appointment date.
Please follow up with your primary care physician as needed. If you do not have a primary doctor, you can call your insurance company to find one. If you do not have insurance, you can look for one on this paper list or go to the finance/registration department for more assistance.
Return to the Emergency Department if you experience worsening pain, fever, recurrent vomiting, blood in vomit, blood in stool, dark tarry stool, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptoms.
Thank you for choosing Olive View-UCLA for your care.
