Overview
Having opened in November 2010, Hoag Orthopedic Institute is the result of years of planning by a highly specialized and experienced team of Board-Certified orthopedic physicians in Orange County and the best hospital in Orange County, Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian. Together we have developed a patient-centered, value-based facility dedicated to the orthopedic patient.
The Hoag Orthopedic Institute grounds were designed to create a restful, healing environment for patients. Gardens were installed throughout the campus for patients' enjoyment and to aid in healing, creating an atmosphere entirely focused on wellness.
Hoag Orthopedic Institute is dedicated to creating the best experience possible for our patients. The visitor information area provides information to help you and those close to you during a hospital stay.
Parking, which is free to all visitors, is conveniently located in front of the hospital along with a drive-through dropoff.
The Information Desk is located inside the main entrance. Attendants are available to assist with room direction and other information.
