Vance H. Cao's Online Review Report Card

I was assigned to him since my primary was unavailable. He was so knowledgeable and knew immediately my health concerns and I finally got an answer to my condition. He is honest and matter of fact, yet personable. Overall I had a great experience.

This is the worst doctor I have ever had. I have gone in with multiple issues and he does not give thorough exams or diagnoses. Also, every time I need a prescription refill, it will takes DAYS/WEEKS to process and many times I will have to call back and follow up. I have had asthma my entire life and every time I need a new inhaler, Dr. Cao will make me come in to “listen to my lungs” before he prescribes one. This is the first doctor I have ever had this issue with and it is a huge waste of everyone’s time and my money. I do not recommend seeing Vance Cao or his team for your healthcare needs.

The worst experience of my life with a doctor, arrogant, condescending, maybe i just caught him on a bad day but I would never go back to this doctor ever.

I think I learned more about him than he did about me. I came in because I am having trouble with my legs. He hardly looked at my legs and told me that the pain is weight related. While looking at my legs he recommended laser hair removal… rude. There is more i just don’t feel comfortable speaking about it publicly. I do not recommend seeing Dr. Cao.

Sat in the doctor's room for 45 minutes waiting for the doctor to arrive. Finally had enough and left. There is no world in which you should sit and wait for 45 minutes for a physical that should take about 5 mins at the worst.

When you wait in the exam room for over 45 minutes after taking all vitals and no one bother to inform you if the doctor is late, that is inconsiderate and pathetic, and when I went out of the room and I asked how much longer is it going to be the nurse said it should be soon, waited for 10 more minutes and no show, I had to leave the room and asked that to make sure Dr Cao to be removed from the list of doctors to see me in the future the nurse answered she can’t do that, you know what I don’t want to be seeing at this office and may be I will leave the Hoag Medical Group period. Left a message to the doctor’s office manager, no response.

No good find a better doctor I

I Love Dr Vance Cao... he is very thorough and I don't feel rushed. He is also very easy to talk to

First of all I never ever give a review or ever state anything negative, usually things roll off my back but today I feel the need to say something. I was switching from a pediatric doctor to an adult doctor and didn’t feel as comfortable with Dr. Cao. This was my very first visit with him. I Think I was subconsciously nervous walking in. My blood pressure was elevated for my age of 18. He immediately started talking about my nutrition and eating habits as if I was eating bad and telling me I need to stay away from all meats. Which I really don’t eat much meat except chicken. The way he was talking to me just didn’t seem as friendly as other doctors. It felt that he was talking a little harsh towards me. When I was with my pediatrician my blood pressure was high to start so they nicely told me to relax and they’ll take it again. After a few minutes it was much lower and in perfect healthy range. Unfortunately they didn’t retake my blood pressure even after I stated I was probably nervous. I was confused as to why he was basically telling me I have high blood pressure and need to eat better and exercise and also sent me to get blood work when simply I could have just been nervous. Keep in mind this was my very first time getting a new doctor and first visit with this doctor. I was nervous and he didn’t help at all. I love Hoag hospital and everyone I have cam across was very welcoming but this doctor rubbed me the wrong way and makes me not want to come back.

Dr Cao was amazing and is amazing. We took our son who just turned 18 to Dr Cao office with very odd symptoms. Dr Cao was patient, knowledgeable and willing to perform any test to find out what was weong with our son. He also got us an appt with another Specialists asap and took such great care of our bo . We cant thank Dr Cao enough for his help expertise and drive to help us find out the cause of my sons sickness. Dr Cao is fast, efficient and awesome.
