In patients' words

"My experiences at UCI Health Urology department in Newport Beach have been great. The staff is friendly, my appointments have always been on time and the facility is new and pleasant. My only constructive feedback is that it is sometimes difficult to reach the staff between appointments."

Online patient review

"The insurance fraud first reported in these reviews several years ago, as well as the patient-last service, are still ongoing... This center will bill its Nurse Practitioners under doctors you've never seen."
