Need a Hoag-affiliated OB in/near Irvine

kchao

Ladies,

I am new to the area and thinking about trying to get pregnant soon.  I need to find an OB that delivers at Hoag and whose practice is in or near Irvine (Tustin, Newport would be best if not in Irvine).  I have an HMO (Great-West/Cigna) so they need to take that insurance.  All of my friends recommended Dr. Strachen at Doctors for Women, but no one there takes HMOs.

 Please recommend someone good!

Thanks,

Karen

Try Dr. Gigi Kroll or Dr. Amy VanBlaricom..they're in the same office and both are wonderful!!  They're located right outside Fashion Island.

I imagine alot in Irvine are Hoag affiliated now that Irvine Regional shut down.

Ditto! I LOVE Dr. Kroll. Not sure if they take your HMO.

Dr. Christina Lee is terrific...she has an office right across from Hoag in Newport. She runs the office with her sister, Dr. Jennifer Lee....love them both!

I see Dr. Rhonda Flora in Newport Beach.  She's fabulous.  Even better, her staff is fabulous.  Not sure if she takes HMO's but the number is 949-644-2722.
