Amazing group of doctors. From the leadership on down the attention to care, communication and compassion was 1000 times better than any other hospital experience. If you are ever faced with being hospitalized seek this group out. It could possibly save your life. It quite possibly saved my wife's.

Highly recommend this well trained hospitalist group for their level of medical care and attention for my family member during a time of need. Each PHA Doctor we met with was very professional and kept our family well informed along our stay at Hoag. My family and I are forever grateful for the positive service we received at Hoag.

I’ve had the unfortunate luck of being admitted to Hoag Newport a few times, but beyond fortunate that I was under the care of PHA.

I want to specifically shout out my attending care team; Dr. Bui, Dr. Rinker, Dr. Suresh and Dr. Gray. The beside manor exemplified by the attending staff is something every hospital system wishes they had. Communication was clear, care plan was concise, rounds were never missed and most importantly, from a patient perspective, the physicians at PHA “hear you out”.

Being in the hospital, means a lot of things are out of your hands, but I was asked my thoughts and was allowed to give my opinion. Even if my opinion wasn’t a good idea etc. It’s comforting knowing as a layperson that PHA physicians take the time to listen and address any concerns/thoughts and answer any questions you might have.

I have a fairly solid medical background, albeit from a pre-hospital perspective and even more experience from a patient stand point. So I know how confusing things can be, especially when a Dr. speeds through rounds and only views the patient from an analytical standpoint (vitals, labs etc.) and makes decisions based only that. Rest assured the physicians at PHA analyze data AND analyze the patient from a non-clinical view point, i.e. how you’re doing outside of what can be read through your chart.

While I was trying to search out the best way to send a thank you note to PHA, I had a chance to speak to their president, Dr. Chandler, who also took the time to personally respond to my thank you note.

To wrap up my review, I would again like to thank the above physicians and group for treating me through multiple hospital admissions. Not just treating me as a number, but as a person. Sadly, the likely hood of me being under the care of a PHA physician is higher than normal, but I am beyond confident that I am in the best of hands when PHA is involved.

10/10 experience.

The care, concern, and undeniable compassion that I’ve received from the staff and doctors at Pacific Hospitalist Assoc. is nothing less than superb. Their attention to detail and expertise in the medical field is phenomenal!! I can honestly state that without the knowledge of their doctors I wouldn’t be alive today. Not only did they take excellent care of me but they paid attention to the little signs and diagnosed that I had a brain tumor. That diagnosis saved my life.

I’m forever grateful to Dr. Chandler and the staff at Pacific Hospitalist Assoc. for truly caring about their patients lives. I’ll now live to see my children graduate college, be there to witness them walk down the aisle at their wedding and experience what it’s like to hold my grandchildren for the first time. Words cannot express my complete gratitude for this spectacular group.

My experience with PHA was nothing short of miraculous. I was admitted into Hoag Hospital in early 2015 and was in sub-ICU for a week. Dr. Wes Chandler and his staff looked after me with the utmost attention and care during my time there. My condition had me on an hour to hour status and it didn’t look good for a time. However, Dr. Chandler kept my recovery hopes high and sure enough, I pulled through and will always be eternally grateful for the care and attention I received. Thank you again, Dr. Chandler.

My wife and I both had the opportunity to be taken care of by the physicians in this group over the past year. We are both healthcare professionals and understand the importance of professional, competent and compassionate patient care. Hoag is the only hospital we would consider using after having very poor experiences at another local hospital. This group of physicians is at the top of their game and I strongly recommend them for your patient care. A very well run and pleasant group to work with!

These guys are scammers. Send you a bill that says pay this amount with no breakdown of the charges, the payment website doesn’t work, and we you ask how to verify the bill they are unable to.

Admitted to Hoag Irvine for rib fractures and collapsed lung. Being a patient is not a fun experience - ever - but the PHA hospitlaist team made it tolerable with their compassionate care, timely updates, and clear communication. 5+ stars all the way and would highly recommend PHA and Hoag hospital to family and friends!!
