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 The mindset felt outdated and completely out of touch.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.

They were able to electronically send over prescriptions and called me back right away with any questions or appointment adjustments. Dr. O'Connor is a very educated doctor. She knows endocrinology well and was able to answer every single question I had. (I had a lot as my thyroid dysfunction was something new to me.) She took her time during my examinations and explained everything going on step by step during the ultrasounds. I have seen her multiple times over the past year and couldn't be more happy with any other doctor and their staff.

I had an appointment set for 1:30. I arrived a little early and filled out the typical sheets of…read morepaper, most of which are superfluous. As I arrived, a gentleman stepped out of the back of the office claiming he'd been there over an hour and hadn't been seen. I didn't pay much attention until I'd sat in the waiting room over 45 minutes, finally asking status and saying they're 45 minutes past my appointment time. The desk lady (think Monique?) was extremely curt and said she had no clue. I pressed asking her to check with a nurse in the back to give me some idea, but was told she wouldn't do that and it could be a while still. After pressing a few more times she finally admitted the doctor was in with a patient and still had another new patient to see before me...so it could still be an hour. An hour...after being already 45 minutes late? I asked if she had my phone number, she said yes, so I said I'd go run an errand or two and text me when they're getting close. She claimed she could not text, to which I replied you're welcome to call me or send an email. Desk lady was having none of it and told me she's "not going to do that". I tried reasoning with her saying it's extremely unprofessional to be that far behind and to not give other appointment patients a heads up, using analogies of dinner and flight reservations. She couldn't be bothered. I told her to refund my money and I'd go elsewhere. I'm sorry...but as a retiree who built a professional career on setting proper expectations, communicating effectively, negotiating efficiently, etc, this was unacceptable! As that was the "level of service" they were willing to offer, I highly recommend people take their medical business to an office that does care about the client experience.

Additionally, the doctor is very competent in her well-balanced knowledge of medical science. Recently, after seeing my cardiologist, she saw me for my annual medical examination. During that time, she realized my blood numbers were off, and made proper medication adjustments. It was obvious that she was more in tune to my my cardiovascular health than my cardiologist. I trust Dr. Dewing because I know she will always make decisions that are best for my health, without requiring me to have unnecessary tests or procedures. I would highly recommend Dr. Janne Dewing to anyone who is in need of solid medical services.

This is so I do not waste her time and my money. I never got a response. I followed up with a second email, again no response. 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. This has to stop!!!!!
