Refer A Patient

For Providers: Refer a Patient

Beachside Optometry accepts referrals from primary care physicians, endocrinologists, rheumatologists, neurologists, oculoplastic and ophthalmic surgeons, and fellow optometrists. This page covers what we accept, how to send a patient, and what comes back to you.

How to Refer

Fax: (714) 593-1237

Phone: (714) 962-9377

A fax with the patient's demographics, insurance, and the reason for referral is all we need. We'll contact the patient directly to schedule.
