Practice Philosophy
Proactive, Personalized Medical Care
Dr. Ambika Bhushan serves as a trusted partner and advocate, helping patients achieve and maintain their best possible health. Working collaboratively with each patient, Dr. Bhushan develops a personalized wellness plan centered on the comprehensive wellness evaluation outlined below.
When urgent health concerns arise, Dr. Bhushan strives to see patients the same day or within 24 hours whenever possible. When specialized care is needed, referrals are made promptly to trusted specialists, with ongoing coordination to ensure seamless, comprehensive care.
Dr. Bhushan maintains privileges at Cedars Sinai and Hoag Hospital and personally cares for patients who are admitted there. If hospitalization occurs at another facility, Dr. Bhushan remains actively involved by communicating with the hospital team, reviewing the patient's care, and providing guidance whenever appropriate to help ensure continuity of care.
Concierge medicine begins with a comprehensive understanding of each patient's health—not simply addressing concerns as they arise. The annual comprehensive wellness evaluation serves as the foundation for personalized recommendations, preventive strategies, and proactive care.
