New Patients

Welcome to Peninsula Ambulatory Medical Services. Our goal is to find the source of your pain and build a plan that improves your function and quality of life. Here's what to know before your first visit.

Scheduling Your First Visit

• Call: 650-507-4113, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM.

• Referrals: Doctors can fax referrals to 650-507-4286.

• Email: admin@peninsulaambulatory.com for general questions. Please don't send personal medical information by email.

Insurance We Accept

• Medicare: Traditional Medicare (Part B).

• Workers' compensation: We are in network with these medical provider networks: CareWorks, Corvel, Coventry, HealthSmart (Interplan), Network by Design, Prime Health, and Sedgwick.

We are adding more plans. Coverage varies by plan, so please call us at 650-507-4113 to verify your benefits before your visit. If you have a workers' compensation claim, please have your claim number and adjuster's contact information ready.

What to Bring

• Photo ID and your insurance card (or workers' compensation claim information, if applicable).

• Your referral, if your plan requires one.

• A list of all your medications and doses, including any blood thinners, supplements, and allergies.

• Reports from recent imaging (MRI, CT, x-ray, or nerve studies). If you have the images on a disc, bring that too.

• A list of treatments you've already tried, such as physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, injections, or surgery, and how well they worked.

Your First Visit

• Conversation: We'll talk about your pain, how it affects your daily life, and your goals for treatment.

• Exam: A focused physical and neurological exam to help pinpoint where the pain is coming from.

• Review: We'll go over your imaging and prior records, and may order additional tests.

• Your options: We'll explain what we think is causing your pain and walk through the treatment options, including the risks, benefits, and alternatives of each, so you can decide together with us what fits you.

• Next steps: If a procedure is part of your plan, our team handles insurance authorization and gives you written instructions to prepare.

Our Approach

• We focus on diagnosing and treating the underlying problem with targeted procedures, regenerative medicine, and rehabilitation, rather than relying on pills.

• PAMS has a strict no-opioid prescription policy.

• We work alongside physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and psychologists, because active rehabilitation is central to lasting improvement.

Preparing for a Procedure

• Tell us about every blood thinner you take. Any hold is coordinated with your prescribing doctor. Never stop a blood thinner on your own.

• If you receive sedation, you'll need a driver to take you home.

• Read about what to expect: epidural steroid injections, medial branch blocks and RFA, PRP injections, spinal cord stimulation, and peripheral nerve stimulation.
