Dr Rachel Hargrove at Memorial Care, Medical Group, in Fountain Valley 8035 Brookhurst StreetSuite 1300Fountain Valley, CADr Hargrove is just a Blessing for all patients that have her. I know I do. She truly cares about her patients, seriously. I did not have to wait a month or weeks to get my ct scan results she ordered, only 3 days, so I found that alone a blessing. Very professional and direct, yet very smooth and peaceful, always with a smile.I have been Dr Hargrove's patient since 2020 and each time I am amazed. Dr Hargrove cares about all her patients. She is not only specialize in Heart/Thoracic Surgery, and Medical Director of Cardiac Surgery, MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute at Orange Coast Medical Center, but also she is well knowlegeable in General phisical problems. She is better than a primary physician!! I am blessed to have her.

Dr Hargrove is AWESOME! My heart surgery was my first time ever spending the night in a hospital. So, I was very nervous up until my surgery. She answered any & all the questions I had and made it easy to understand. She explained in detail what was going to happen. Her & her staff made my whole experience easy to deal with. They always kept in touch with me & helped make every appointment, etc. For my first time in a hospital, I am so thankful she was my surgeon. The day of my surgery I was ready and had full confidence in her ability. Her care after surgery helped make my recovery even easier. Along with my cardiologist Dr Winters, she saved my life. As I’ve told her, she’s now my favorite doctor. I’ve literally been getting better every day post surgery, just as she explained. I’m now looking forward to my good health, thanks to Dr Hargrove. Trust me, don’t let anyone else touch something as important as your heart.

Initial consult for AVR/CABG, covering what to expect before, during and after the procedure. Dr. Hargrove clearly described all the upcoming steps leading to the actual surgery and those involved in the recovery process. I don't have any anxieties regarding the procedure and aftermath and am looking forward to getting back to a life I haven't enjoyed for a while now.Watching Youtube is ok for generalities, but postings that are years out of date describing procedures in place at the time aren't helpful in anticipating details of what you'll be experiencing today.Also, Dr. Hargrove was able to put my 94 year old mom's mind at ease. She tends to be a glass-half-empty sort, so her state of anxiety has been my greatest concern about this entire adventure.

This doctor is truly exceptional! From the moment I entered the doors to the office, I felt welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease. Dr.Hardgrove has gone above and beyond to be sure that my heart surgery was a success !!She is extremely knowledgeable and Gifted. . She listens to me and helps me understand my condition .The hospital and staff members are friendly attentive and helpful in every way.Truly, I would recommend this amazing heart surgeon and her team to anyone who is seeking for one.Me and my family are so thankful & grateful and we appreciate you ! Best wishes to you!SincerelyThe Hammoude Family.
