A special note on when to use emergency care

It is important for patients to understand that emergency departments are for true emergencies. If you dont know whether your emergency is life-threatening or not, take the safe approach and come in. However, if you dont need this high level of care, consider options such as more affordable urgent care or a visit to your general practice physician.
About our physicians

The hospital has contracted with Mission Viejo Emergency Medical Associates to provide physician services in the Emergency Department. These physicians are independent contractors, not employees of the hospital, who contract separately with healthcare insurers and healthcare plans. As a result, they may not be in the same networks as the hospital. If you have any questions regarding whether these physicians are covered by your insurance, you should contact your insurance provider directly. To contact the ER group contracted to our hospital, please call 949-364-1400 ext. 7476.
