Physician referral

Providing the highest quality of care is important to you. That includes being able to make referrals to the specialists of your choice at Lehigh Valley Health Network, part of Jefferson Health. Our goal is to communicate and collaborate with you when you refer your patients.  

888-402-LVHN (5846)

It’s the only number you need to know to schedule a diagnostic test or an appointment with a Lehigh Valley Physician Group (LVPG) clinician. When necessary, we will transfer you to the person who can best meet your needs. 

Hours: Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
