FibroScan Non-Invasive Diagnostic Tool

This latest innovation is just one example of Hoag’s desire to provide world-class care right here in Orange County.

Hoag has been recognized as a top hospital in Orange County by U.S. News and World Report for Gastroenterology & GI Surgery for 2023-2024.
In addition, Hoag was ranked as the #4 hospital in the Los Angeles Metro Area and the #9 hospital in California, and is the only Orange County hospital in the top 10.
Learn MoreAdvanced Endoscopy
Hoag offers the highest-quality advanced endoscopy services in Newport Beach, Irvine and the surrounding areas. The role of endoscopy in liver disease is both diagnostic and interventional.
One such example is the endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), which uses a special endoscope with a built-in miniature ultrasound probe. This technology provides your doctor with more information than other imaging tests by providing detailed images of your liver.
Learn MoreInnovation Through Clinical Trials & Research
Our groundbreaking clinical trials in precision medicine, molecular imaging and therapy, immunotherapy/cell therapy and a number of other Phase I-IV clinical trials are changing lives in Orange County and beyond.
Through innovative clinical trials, Hoag works to advance liver treatment options and improve health care by exploring the safety and effectiveness of new drugs, therapies, medical devices, and clinical and surgical methods.
