    A few years ago during my annual check-up, my doctor says, "I felt a lump." Four words you never want to hear because you start fearing the worst. And of course I did. My doctor referred me to West Coast Breast Center for an ultrasound and a needle biopsy to determine whether or not my "lump" was malignant. Turns out it wasn't. A HUGE sigh of relief until a few months later I was back again to check another lump. Yippee. Again, another biopsy and good news. The staff at WCBC are really kind and friendly. Most of the staff are female so no need to worry about being sans clothes in front of male doctors if that isn't your preference. Their equipment is state-of-the-art. The office is easy to find. Just go to Hoag in Irvine and park near the pharmacy on the first floor. Hopefully, you never have to go here for more than a mammogram or an ultrasound. But if you do, then trust that you are in capable hands. **Oh, and whatever your mother told you about mammograms and the excruciating pain it causes; turns out, she was right.**

    My primary care only recommended me for an ultrasound, but the male Asian doctor pretty much forced…read moreme to get a mammogram and now I have $1000 bill that I have to pay. I'm only 30 years old and I did not have any abnormalities (just some fibrous tissue) that my primary care was too concerned about and told me I did not need to get a mammogram for this. Just a basic check up. Upon the appointment, I had told the hospital staff I was not going to get a mammogram and they agreed. However, the doctor kept pushing me I ended up crying in the doctors office because of how pushy he was. Literally forcing unnecessary pressure on a young patient who vocalized multiple times did not want a mammogram but the doctor said he would not write me a diagnosis if I didn't. Extremely unprofessional

    My experience with Hoag has been deeply frustrating and has permanently damaged my trust in this…read moreorganization. What I encountered was not a simple billing mistake, but a systemic failure in transparency regarding in-network coverage, referrals, and facility-based billing that left me with unexpected and unjustified financial responsibility. Before receiving care, I took the appropriate and responsible steps to confirm that Hoag--and the specific services I was being referred for--were in network with my insurance plan. I was explicitly told that they were. At no point was I informed that certain departments, facilities, or billing entities within Hoag operate differently or could be considered out of network, despite being part of the same health system and marketed as such. Only after services were rendered did I receive bills indicating that portions of my care were processed as out-of-network, resulting in charges I never would have consented to had accurate information been disclosed in advance. This practice feels intentionally misleading. Patients should not be expected to decipher hidden distinctions between "covered" and "non-covered" facilities or billing entities within the same hospital system--especially when staff affirmatively represent that services are in network. The most concerning part is how casually this issue was handled when I raised it. Instead of accountability, I was met with deflection, contradictory explanations, and an apparent normalization of this practice. Being told after the fact that "some facilities bill differently" or that "certain providers are separate" does not excuse the failure to clearly disclose this information before care is provided. This is not informed consent; it is bait-and-switch billing. Healthcare is stressful enough without patients being put in a position where they feel financially trapped by misinformation. Hoag presents itself as a trusted, patient-centered organization, yet my experience reflected a system more focused on revenue protection than ethical transparency. To be clear: this is not about insurance complexity--this is about being told one thing, relying on that information, and then being billed another way entirely. That crosses a line. Patients deserve honesty, clarity, and full disclosure before care is rendered, not after the bill arrives. I strongly caution anyone considering care at Hoag to get everything in writing, confirm not only the provider but the specific facility and billing entity, and be prepared for the possibility that "in network" may not mean what you are told it means. I would not choose Hoag again based on this experience.

However, when the MRI technician came to take me into the room and set up the machine, she seemed very careless and not very attentive. She briefly asked what kind of music I wanted, then closed the door and left. I asked how long the procedure would take, and I was told fifteen minutes. Once it started, the noise from the machine was extremely loud and suddenly caused me to develop a headache. I simply endured it for the full fifteen minutes. When it was finished and another staff member came in to open the machine and help me out, I mentioned what happened. He told me that next time I should ask for earplugs. I responded that I hope there won't be a next time soon, as this is not something I experience regularly. In my opinion, patients should be reminded in advance that the noise can be very loud and that ear protection is available. This discomfort could easily be prevented. I feel the staff need to be a bit more attentive and considerate, rather than just treating it as a routine task and moving on. Patients deserve more care and awareness.

I was worried that I might feel claustrophobic, but the machine was open at the end, so you could see the rest of the room. Results were available through the portal a few days later. The reason why I didn't give Hoag five stars is that the MRI was done in a trailer, next to the building. It felt kind of amateurish for a highly ranked hospital like Hoag.

I still had another questionnaire to fill out via iPad in the lobby but my name was quickly called and I was walked back to change out of my clothes. They were super busy that day and I did not even get a locker but I was handed a bag to store my clothing after changing into the standard robe. I had two scans which I was charged separate copays for, which is kind of annoying but my scans were clear and I was advised to come back in six months to repeat it. My appointment was about an hour and I was on my way. I like that they are centrally located between work and home.

I was able to take time to go with him to one of his radiation appointments, along with my sister, and we were treated like old friends and given a pretty awesome lesson on what's happening and all the ins and outs of his treatment sessions. I learned a lot in the fast 15 minutes it took from beginning to end. Everyone we came in contact with was super pleasant and smiling. I knew my dad was in good hands when he told me, but to see for myself that he was 100% right was priceless. (he's usually 100% right though, but you know.....) While waiting for your appointment, they have coffee, water, snacks, donuts, pastries, candies and such for you to sample if you please.

However, I come to this specific practice in Irvine because of the professionalism, integrity, and quality of care I've received. I have been coming here for about 10 years, as I used to have an office on Millikan Ave, very close by. The office staff, facility, and medical providers have repeatedly exceeded my expectations, and I credit this clinic with helping me through several serious health episodes, including UTIs that nearly progressed to sepsis. This is why I chose them as my family practice. During this recent visit, I had been traveling frequently and experiencing health concerns, so I came in for a preventative care visit/checkup. I met with Dr. Khan (Dr.K), who was exceptional...Insightful, thorough, attentive, and proactive. He ordered appropriate tests, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt supported and understood. He asked that I return the next morning for fasted bloodwork, which I did. When I returned, I requested a brief consultation to ask a follow-up question I had forgotten during my initial visit. The front desk kindly informed me that only a Nurse Practitioner was available. In my history with Nurse Practitioners, they have been just as helpful and knowledgeable to address my questions and concerns as MDs. I have a great respect for all medical professionals, whether MD, DO, NP, PA, etc. I was more than comfortable meeting with any medical provider available as my primary care provider. However, my experience with the NP I met, Vanessa, was the complete opposite of the standard I've come to appreciate here. She spent less than 10 minutes with me, was dismissive and condescending, and showed no interest in my symptoms, concerns, or medical history. She asked no clarifying questions and offered no meaningful assessment. It was the least professional interaction I've ever had at this clinic, and one of the worst I've experienced in the U.S. medical system overall. For anyone seeking thoughtful, intentional, and high-quality care at this practice, I strongly recommend seeing any provider other than NP Vanessa. This practice does not offer appointments, so I would advise just calling the front desk staff who are exceedingly helpful and lovely, and ask how to avoid coming in on a day where the NP Vanessa is working. I would suggest you seek care from anyone else at this establishment, if you hope to engage with a medical provider that is willing, attentive, thoughtful, and caring. Aside from my one terrible experience, every other interaction I've had at Irvine Urgent Care has been excellent. The front desk staff, interns, nurses, and lab team have all been professional, efficient, and consistently wonderful to work with.
