    Glasses made from record albums - Super Cool!!!
    Carrie R.

    So glad we finally discovered Dr. Alex! He's just so awesome! We had been going to the same eye doctor for so many years just out of habit. But the office staff were just so blah and over the years had been starting to get kinda grumpy. So I finally decided it was time for a change so I turned to Yelp. Well Yelp came through once again and pointed us in the direction of the Orange Plaza which was so close to our house! A good sign to any office is the front staff - and I had gotten great vibes from the first time I had called to make an appointment. They are always so sweet and helpful! When I went in for my first appointment, again I was greeted with big smiles - all the ladies in the front are super sweet!! Then I met Dr. Alex - Wow! He's just so cool! I really enjoy chatting with him!! It turns out he and his fam enjoy going Disneyland and so do we so we talk about Disney, plus we both enjoy music so we have fun talking about different concerts and music groups! (*I like to tease my friends that my eye doctor is WAY cooler than theirs!) One day while talking about music, I somehow mentioned that I was a huge DEVO fan while growing up and they then mentioned they had Mark Mothersbaugh sunglasses and they asked if I wanted to see them. UH, HECK YEAH!! Once I saw them, I knew I had to have a pair!! They're just too cool!! I've already gotten a couple pairs of glasses here too - they have a really nice assortment of frames! Check this office out! You'll be so glad you did!!

My dr, surgical assistant, anesthesiologists, my pre-op nurses and after-op nurses all the way to the ladies in the front desks and everyone in the building are earth angels. God bless each and everyone of them. They took such good care of me and made me so relaxed, happy, and comfortable the entire time. I was pretty doped up after the surgery and took a while to come to, but I remember bits and pieces of my conversations with the nurses and they were oh so sweet and accommodating and checked in on me frequently. I felt so safe and cared for. Flowers for each and every single one of those staff members, they deserve it all and more for all the hard work they do (and that's an understatement!)

I was very happy to entrust my mother to these wonderful people's care. I couldn't have asked for anybody else better.

    On Friday night, January 30, 2026, during an incredibly stressful situation involving my father's…read moreskilled nursing facility, the ER team at UCLA Medical Center in Orange stepped up in a way I will never forget. It was a busy Friday night, yet the staff treated my father with urgency, dignity, and genuine compassion. What could have been a chaotic and impersonal experience instead felt human and attentive. After we arrived, the ER team worked tirelessly -- not just medically, but administratively -- coordinating with insurance, social workers, and case management. When my father became stuck in the ER due to complications with his prior facility refusing readmission, the UCLA team did not give up on him. They continued advocating, communicating, and ultimately helped secure placement in a better facility after nearly a week in limbo. That level of follow-through meant everything to our family. I especially want to recognize Nurse Claire in the ER. Her kindness and humanity were extraordinary. She gave my father blankets, made sure he was comfortable, and even offered me blankets, food, and water during a long and emotional night. She cleaned my father up with such care and dignity. After 10 hours of uncertainty, she brought calm, reassurance, and genuine bedside compassion that I will never forget. I also want to thank Dr. Carson Dangberg for advocating for my father during a very unfortunate situation. His professionalism and willingness to step in made a real difference. In one of the hardest moments for our family, this ER team reminded us that healthcare can still be compassionate and patient-centered. We are deeply grateful.

    High-Risk Pregnancy Care Felt Unsafe, Rushed, and Poorly Managed:…read more I am writing this review because my family's experience with UCI Labor & Delivery was extremely disappointing and scary, especially because my sister was considered a high-risk pregnancy due to her age, diabetes, and other medical concerns. My sister was originally supposed to be induced at 5:00 AM on Sunday, 4/26, but there were no beds available. Later that day, around 6:00 PM, the hospital called and told her to come in around 9:00 PM. When she arrived Sunday night around 9:00 PM, she was brought in, but instead of starting the induction process and properly monitoring her as a high-risk patient, she was discharged around 1:00 AM because they needed the beds. This was extremely upsetting and concerning. A high-risk pregnant patient should not be sent home in the middle of the night because of bed availability. By around 8:00 AM the next morning, she started bleeding and had to rush back to the hospital. A nurse apologized and said they were sorry, which only made the situation feel even more concerning because it seemed like they knew the situation should not have been handled that way. Once she was back at the hospital, the experience continued to feel chaotic and poorly managed. The hospital appeared to be short-staffed, and communication was not reassuring. Her epidural was delayed because the doctor kept getting pulled away. She was in significant pain, and for a high-risk patient, the delay in pain management felt unacceptable. By Monday, 4/27 at 12:49 PM, she was around 4-5 cm dilated and waiting for medication to help her dilate more. Around 3:51 PM, contractions were getting stronger, and she was waiting for the epidural. Then around 6:25 PM, we were told she needed an emergency C-section. This was terrifying for our family, especially after everything that had already happened: the delayed induction, being sent home due to lack of beds, having to rush back because of bleeding, short staffing, delayed epidural, and poor communication. Thankfully, the baby was born Monday evening and is okay, and we are extremely grateful for that. However, the process leading up to the delivery was stressful, scary, and poorly handled. I understand hospitals get busy, but bed shortages should never come before the safety of a high-risk pregnant patient. My sister should not have been discharged at 1:00 AM, only to have to rush back by 8:00 AM bleeding. This experience left our family feeling like patient safety, communication, and high-risk pregnancy care were not prioritized the way they should have been.

    If you are in need of a high quality MRI that is state-of-the-art, you go to St. Joseph Hospital…read moreOutpatient Pavillion. It is the one of the most clean and accessible facilities you could access. Not only does this pavilion have a radiology department, there is also a pharmacy (which dispenses most medication to the hospital directly but you can also go here to pick it up), as well as blood testing here with a phlebotomy department. The technicians are mostly competent here and friendly. With an appointment, you are in and out of here on time. Which leads me to the only criticism of this pavilion. You are charged for parking. There used to be validation for parking (or so I heard) if you visited the facility. Unfortunately, there are no other parking available as St. Joseph Hospital is situated alongside CHOC so most of the surrounding locale is full. Even when I was an EMT dropping off emergent patients for both CHOC and St. Joseph, there were barely any parking for the ambulances! All-in-all, I would still come despite the mandatory parking fee even with a handicapped placard because the facility is worth it (compared to other places like Los Alamitos).

    Helpful staff. Clean area. Well displayed signage to direct you. ADA compliant. Be prepared to pay…read morefor parking- no validation. They charge an additional hour even if it is 1 minute over and you are waiting in line to exit.

Don't waste your time. The reality is that this organization is well aware of what they are doing. It's intentional, predatory, and systematic. It's been well documented for years on multiple platforms including Yelp and their BBB page yet they continue to cheat the public and abuse the goodwill of their name. I recommend other abused patients file a BBB complaint or contact a lawyer. Would be so simple for them to implement a change that all new patients are notified verbally and in writing in plain English (instead of purposefully obfuscated legalese and healthcare jargon) that they will bill as an outpatient at a hospital which can result in 10x-100x patient costs compared to a regular doctor's office. Plus they will bill a facility and doctor fee for each visit which results in double billing and further increased out of pocket costs. Of course that would scare most of their prey away. I honestly don't know how the people involved in this organization sleep at night. Shameless and disgusting from top to bottom.
