If that's near Cedars , I have a friend who can help. I will ask.

Never mind. That's UCLA, where dh had surgery . They have a great guest hotel( motel) if you can get in. It includes a shuttle running to and from the hospital, which is also walking distance.

Thank you Martinca. I did find Toverton House and have emailed them, but IME onsite patient accomodations are often full of international patients or those undergoing longer treatments. We anticipate being there just for a consult and possibly a referral.

200 Medical Plaza is in the middle of UCLA, which is where I often go for doctor's appointments, since UCLA is the medical group that I use.

Another hotel on or near campus is The Luskin Conference Center. which is about the same distance from the medical center as Tiverton House.

Beyond that, search for UCLA hotels, but I don't think there are any closer than these two.

I saw that one but had no idea how close (or not) it might be so that is very helpful Lars. We are going to see the one person in the States who does the type of operation DH needs. If he can't do it (no time or DH doesn't fit study parameters) he will refer us to a colleague either in Germany or The Netherlands and that will be our next step.

Both hotels are 0.4 miles from the medical center, which is the distance I am from a Metro Station in L.A. It is a considerable walk, but I can do it about 8 minutes.

Thank you both. We are leaving on the 9th of next month so we still have Christmas, the New Year and DH’s birthday to get through. Sometimes life seems to happen around the edges of crisis and worry, and it’s a challenge to not let the worry become the main event, iykwim. 🤔

Sending you and your DH positive wishes for a good outcome!!

Kswl, I do not know anything about LA, but looked up hotels near the site you wanted, The Luskin hotel seems to be a six minute walk. It also has a dining room. I know CA peeps will give you the info you need. I hope you have a nice visit.

eta Sorry to be so late. Houzz wouldn't let me sign in (I never sign out). Took many tries.

I didn’t realize that there were accommodations on campus — UCLA Luskin Conference Center. Just south of Pauley Pavilion, and an easy walk south along Westwood Blvd. to the hospital.

Parking is always an issue on campus, and I would inquire about parking and rates if staying at Luskin rather than have surprises.

Being a broke commuter student when I attended UCLA, I parked a mile off campus to avoid fees and walked. Now that area — around a small local park — also has restricted parking.
