I have been to this hospital for treatment and emergencies. Like any giant place there are some bad people. Trust me when I say they have far more brilliant doctors and nurses than non-brilliant. All of my surgeries were amazing outcomes and my oncology surgeon (Karen lane) was top notch as well as my plastics team (paydar). I've had a great colonoscopy (had one at hoag too, uci was much better) performed here. I could say bad things about a few Docs I have had negative experiences with but whats the point? I have had MRI's, Pet CT scans, ultrasounds ... pretty much everything. They did a stellar job as far as things go in my book.
I am lucky enough to have the ability to refer patients to their facility and I do it daily because over all a teaching hospital is always learning.

Also, the ER doc with the cowboy boots is thee best. Works his tail off and listens to everything.
