After some research and speaking to my internal medicine physician, they are suggesting the following specialists:

Cardiologist: Dr. Kevin Rapeport in San Diego
Ascending Aortic Surgeon: Dr. Pedro Catarino, MD, Director of Aortic Surgery in the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the Smidt Heart Institute (Cedars-Sinai)
Vascular Surgeon for All Other Aorta Issues: Dr. Ali Azizzadeh, MD, a leading vascular surgeon at the Smidt Heart Institute (Cedars-Sinai).

I hope this helps.

Thank you Obl for the information. I have not seen my family doctor for a referral. All my doctors are in UCSD. I may be referred to UCSD thoracic department. I’m 73 years old, I just want a doctor to monitor the progress. I am not sure I will take the surgery in the future. Take care!
