University of California Irvine Med Center

Good luck getting an appointment or good service. Even if you call with questions, it's like they're trained to be rude.

The worst experience ever. Last month I was very depressed and stressed so I did not eat anything for two days. Also my neck and back were extremely painful because I looked down for studying for too long without moving at all. My upper body has been under a constant pain unless I lay on the bed so I went there the day before an exam to tell the doctor how stressed I was and wondering if there are any solutions I could be able to attend the exam, or at least a note after confirming my neck’s ache to my professor so that I could stand in the back of the room to finish my exam. I was unable to sit and look down at all on the day I went to the health center because of the pain. However, I felt was offensive when the doctor claimed that I was looking for excuses to not take the exam in a ironic tone and did not trust anything I said! If I was extremely emotionally unstable don that day I don’t know what I would do that day.

Some of the most caring doctors I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. It is sometimes difficult to get an appointment, but overall the doctor's and nurses provide wonderful care. The pharmacy has a lot of generic options that are cheaper than a large retail pharmacy.

The worst health center in the world, trust me

Be sure to self diagnose before showing up. Fighting a series of bureaucrats for redundant forms, stamps, stamp approvals, reapprovals, referrals and so forth is what to expect. Showing up without knowing what referral you want, or without being able to argue why you need it is a waste of time unless you're there for something minor.
