For providers

There are multiple ways to refer a patient:

• Call our referral department at 612-596-6105.
• Use your own form through your electronic medical records.

After we receive the referral, our referral coordinator will contact the family within 48 hours. Once the appointment date is established, you will receive an appointment confirmation letter in the mail.

For parents, legal guardians, etc.

We gladly accept self-referrals. A referral from a physician is not required. The instructions are the same as mentioned above. You can complete and submit our Patient Referral Form and/or call our referral department at 612-596-6105.
