Hoag Orthopedic Institute

Trying to call this place to schedule an appointment for my father. OMG, the call center folks are clueless. The spend 3 minutes wasting time on asking for my contact info, but can’t answer a frequent questions of «Is Hoag contracted with Medicare and Anthem (Supplement F) for seniors?»
Shock to know that both agents don’t even know that «accepts» and «contracted» means different things when it comes to insurance and medical care.

On February 29^th and March 2^nd. I had successful spine surgery performed by Dr. Richard S Lee at this facility and I have to tell you that if you have to go to the hospital, this place is like going to Waldorf Astoria! Everyone who visited me was so impressed! I have written a separate review of Dr. Lee who is my «Magic Man». Every single person I dealt with at this hospital was over the top great! From the nurses or my angels, to the administrative staff to the food coming out of the kitchen to the physical therapy lady Sarah to Susan, my favorite nurse, to the lady who cleaned my room. You will never have to worry in this place and when you push your button someone responds in less than 30 seconds! Totally professional place and staff. I cannot say enough and my wife raves about this place!

Had spinal surgery performed by Dr. Michael Gordon, on February 1, 2016. I am still in the recovery process. Everyone associated with my surgery was absolutely wonderful and extremely helpful. The nurses were very supportive as was the rest of the staff who helped get me out of bed and moving around, no matter what time of day. Physical therapists Justin, John and staff got me up and exercising. I am in a better recovery state because of them.
They are the BEST.

I had a hip replacement with the surgeon, Dr. Patel. He is a terrific surgeon. The doctors and the staff on this side of the hospital are great. I Highly recommend Hoag Orthopedic Institute. It is clean and well maintained.

I had a laminectomy done at Hoag in January. It was my first surgery, so I was a little apprehensive. However, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Nurses, doctors, staff… everyone was great and made it so easy for me. I highly recommend Hoag.

I have had knee replacement, lower back fusion and cervical discectomy at HOI; I can’t say enough about the infection protocol and attention to detail from pre-​op to post/​op follow up. I wouldn’t have orthopedic surgery anywhere else. This is truly 21^st century medicine.

Hoag Orthopedic Institute and Dr. Vuh Le are GREAT! My grandma, was not being cared for at her board & care in Anaheim, CA, and fell 3 times in one week… She was admitted to HOI by Dr. Vuh Le and was found to have 2 broken bones in her neck, 3 compression fractures in her low back AND such a severely fractured upper arm /​and shoulder that she needed immediate surgery and a shoulder replacement with a metal joint. From our 1^st contact with Dr. Le, it was clear he had a lot of experience. He is professional, caring, extremely knowledgable, and has a very kind spirit. He arranged for my grandma to get into surgery immediately. He discovered the low back fractures, that were missed at West Anaheim med. center, 3 of them! HOI and Dr. Vuh Le took such good care of my grandma, that I would tell everyone who wants a great doctor to go see him! If I ever break a bone, Dr. Vuh Le will be my doctor and I will go to Hoag Orthopedic Institute, they both deliver top quality care & my grandma loves everyone there who has helped her through a very traumatic, difficult time. Thank You All!!! :)

I had a broken kneecap and had surgery at this facility. I can not say enough good and positive things about this Institute. I checked in at 3:00 pm and that’s the way to go. There were only two patients at this late in the day, but we got all the attention and more.
It’s just a shame you have to have surgery to check into this wonderful place.
Loved it!

I had hip replacement surgery here in June 2015. I was very impressed with the professionalism and efficiency of the entire experience. Their hip replacement class was excellent. They did a great job preparing us for what to expect. They even took us on a tour of the rooms so we could see where we would be staying after surgery. The rooms are small, but they are private and they try to keep things quiet so you can rest. All the staff seem to really like their jobs which makes it a pleasant place to go through a surgery and recovery.
My surgery went very well and I was able to go home the next day. My care while at the hospital was excellent. The nurses and staff were caring and very good at their jobs. They made sure to check my ID and tell me every medication they were giving me. They responded to the nurses button within minutes, making sure my pain was kept well in control and my needs were met. One nursing assistant in particular stood out. His name was Charles and he was there on the night shift. He was so compassionate and caring.
This hospital has a great reputation that is well deserved. I would happily recommend them to anyone needing orthopedic surgery.

The wait took on average 3 hours every office visit. unecessary x-​rays were taken in order to charge more on the bill. Doctor visit was a rushed experience.

Just had lower lumbar fusion the staff are remarkable. From the Doctors to the physical therapists I have never been treated in such a caring manner by any health care facility. As I had complications in recovery they were very well equipped to get me stabilized. I would recommend this hospital to anyone that is looking to be cared for like they were one of the family.

Had knee replacement here on Oct 28, 2014. Every part of the process was as professional, comprehensive, and supportive as it could be.
The Pre-​Surgery Class that they offer was carefully prepared and presented. By the time it was over they had covered the anatomy and physiology of the procedure, the admission and pre-​op procedures, in-​patient physical and occupational therapy — there were no surprises when the day of the surgery arrived.
The surgery itself was a great success, thanks to Dr. Robert Gorab, and the pre– and post-​op care was fantastic. Every nurse, technician, and other personnel was friendly, efficient, capable, and caring.
This is absolutely the standard to which every hospital should aspire. Thanks, Hoag Orthopedic, for such a successful experience.

i had my spine surgery there by dr. hamid mir. it was my 14 spine surgery hoag hospital treated me like a king compare to other hospitals tha i had surgery. especially the surgeon dr. hamid mir the best #1. if anybody with spine problems dr. hamid mir at hoag hospital irvine is where you will get well.

This is going to be one of those glowing reviews, full of compliments, shout-​outs, and recommendations! If I get too mushy, well, deal with it!
The hospital is an amazing building itself. I like to call it the ‘Ikea’ of Surgical Institutes! New. Airy. Modern. Zen… Too bad you have be hurt to come here. The pre-​op paperwork and testing is like nothing I’ve been through before. I swear, it was easier to have my 2 children then this Knee Replacement!
Testing, blood, testing, urine, swabbing, testing, on and on… phew!
All the staff were great! friendly, upbeat, funny, silly, caring, and super-​attentive. From the women serving the meals, to the custodial staff, to the nurses, to the assistants, doctors and other staff. Couldn’t mention everyone, but you can’t beat Dr. Ewa Kuntny’s sweet and caring help. Lovely, special lady! And Tanya was one of the nicest, friendliest, funniest nurses you could get. And Silva, my nurses aid, was one hard and heartwarming staff member! She never tired of helping! Ray came to help at the end of my visit, and has a smile you never tire of. On and on and on!
And my hat’s off to Dr Cailouette! I knew his reputation in the area – you know us gym-​rats/​athletes are always getting something repaired — and I knew I was in good hands. He’s a very, very, very patient man. It’s taken him 6 – 7 years to get me to fix my knee, and all the shots and therapy in between.
As the newer materials and procedures came out, it was harder and harder to say no. This girlie-​girl in lil black dresses and dancing shoes will forever be thankful with his less-​invasive surgical skills.
I’d be remise if I didn’t mention Cecil Reyes. Though those golden, magical Laker tickets must have gotten lost in the mail, his performance in the office and at Hoag were top-​notch! Great bedside manner and even more dapper every morning in his suit (Dr Cailouette, too!). GQ, baby!
I highly recommend all of the services mentioned above! Get it!

My mom went here after she broke her hip. I cannot say enough good things about the care she received, in terms of quality of treatment, facilities, and bedside manner. Hell, some of the meals they served her looked so good I was sort of jealous. She is well on the road to recovery thanks to the unparalleled excellence of Hoag Orthopedic. You never want to have to go to the hospital, but if you do – this place is the best.

I had spinal fusion surgery here two weeks ago. From the pre-​surgery phone call the Friday before I went in through the pre-​op, surgery, post-​op and hospital stay, this was a first class place. Everyone I had contact with was ready to explain what was happening and why. The nursing care was amazing. They take good care of you but also make sure you are waking and ready to go home as soon as possible. I highly recommend this place. They made it easy for me to be the best patient ever.
