About Our Unit
The GONDA Diagnostic, Observation and Treatment (DOT) at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center is a special short-stay unit for patients requiring observation for a specific symptom.
Your physician may place you in the GONDA DOT for monitoring, before determining if you will be admitted to the hospital or sent home. Since the duration is less than 24 hours, your stay is considered an outpatient visit.
What you need to know about GONDA DOT
A registered nurse will check your condition and provide a restful area, food (if permitted by your physician), pain control and blankets to keep you warm. You will receive the same level of world-class and compassionate care as you would throughout UCLA Health System.
When your physician approves you to go home, your registered nurse will help you prepare for discharge.
Your stay in GONDA DOT will be billed as an outpatient visit on an hourly basis, and you will be responsible for any co-payments, deductibles or other charges that may apply. Inpatients admitted to the GONDA DOT are not billed on an hourly basis. If you have any questions, please call the Admissions Office at (310) 267-8000.
Nutrition
If your physician allows you to eat during your stay, you may order from our signature dining services and the food will be delivered to your room. Ask your nurse or nutrition assistant for a menu.
