For over 30 years, I get most of my health care at UCI in Orange and Irvine. My experience has been overwhelminly positive. I am not related to any of the doctors.
Easy appointments, nice and courteous front office personel, well appointed rooms, short wait in the waiting rooms and treatment rooms, nurses that know their job, introduce themselves, are eficient and make you feel at ease, residents and students very helpful, doctors that care, are knowledgeble and give you enough time for interaction, good diagnosis and effective treatments, up to date laboratories, X rays, MRI etc. I wonder why some people have had negative experiences. It is true that when you are sick, you want everything to be centered in you. You have high expectations, are impacient and demand results. This is not always possible, medicine is not perfect and care in other medical facilites is very similar. Many who complain do not remember how they perform their own duties in their jobs. Nobody is perfect. Just relax and let the system work. If not, go somewhere else and you will be surprised of how similar your experience will be.
