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 The mindset felt outdated and completely out of touch.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.
