1 Star - Would Give Zero If I Could…read more I had an awful experience at Hoag Medical Group Laguna Beach Family Medicine. I came in urgently needing a same-day chest X-ray after a positive skin TB test. Before going in, I asked very clearly about their X-ray process and was assured multiple times that they could do it same day with same-day results. That turned out to be completely untrue. Because of the misinformation from the front desk--who clearly did not listen to anything I asked--I ended up waiting an extra day for a time-sensitive test required for my work. I was misled about their protocol, given incorrect answers, and treated like my questions were an inconvenience instead of important medical concerns. Then I was told I had to see a doctor before getting the X-ray, which led me to Dr. Mina Abazari. That visit was just as disappointing. She told me her assistants would "pull her out of the room" because she only had a limited amount of time with me--an incredibly unsettling thing to hear when you're there for something urgent. The whole appointment felt rushed, dismissive, and unhelpful. To make matters worse, when I asked for a referral to a cardiology specialist for preventative reasons, she discouraged it and essentially told me I didn't need one. It's honestly shocking in 2025 to encounter a physician who minimizes preventative medicine. The mindset felt outdated and completely out of touch. Will the times ever change? Here's the real kicker: after losing a full day because of Hoag's misinformation, I ended up going to Surfside Urgent Care--and they completed a chest X-ray and gave me results within an hour. Quick, clear, efficient, and zero runaround. I wish I had gone there in the first place instead of wasting time waiting to see a physician at Hoag. I'll be going to Surfside for all my future needs. Bottom line: I came for answers and left with delays, misinformation, frustration, and no sense of being heard or cared for. If you value communication, timely care, and a provider who actually listens, I would avoid this place.

I came in complaining of pain in my foot (after my previous doctor took an xray and said nothing was wrong). Dr. Dewing believed me, and gave me a referral to a podiatrist who discovered I indeed had a fracture. She also inquired about and addressed a few other health concerns I've been facing, and issued the appropriate referrals and/or RXs. Today she called to followed up some lab results, and I was astounded as this was the first time in YEARS that I've had a doctor care enough to check in with lab/MRI results. Her office manager is also amazingly responsive, competent and knowledgeable. I'm so pleasantly surprised and grateful to be under Dr. Dewing's care, and I highly recommend her.

When the appointment happened, I asked her if she could treat a specific disorder and she COULD NOT. SURPRISE, I got a bill. I contacted the office and informed them what I did and they apologized and saw my emails and dropped the ball. I had a 12 dollar balance after my insurance paid for this, (no care appointment.) Of course I did not pay the 12 dollars that they billed me, and they decided to send it to a collection agency. I am furious! They are taking advantage of the healthcare system and patients.
