Hear from Patients Who Found Relief

I am writing this review on behalf of my father, who has been a patient of Dr. Derrick Tran at PEDES Orange County. From the very first visit, we knew we were in great hands. Dr. Tran is an exceptionally knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated physician who truly goes above and beyond for his patients. He takes the time to thoroughly explain every detail, ensuring we understand all options and feel confident in the care being provided. No question ever goes unanswered, and his patience and expertise are unmatched.

Beyond Dr. Tran, the entire staff at PEDES Orange County is absolutely amazing! From the front desk team to the medical assistants, nurses and techs, everyone is kind, professional, and incredibly accommodating. They make scheduling easy, treat every patient with the utmost respect, and ensure a smooth experience at every visit.

My father and I are beyond grateful for the outstanding care he has received.

Yesterday I had a stent procedure with Dr. Goldstein.

I wanted to thank the entire team.

Dr. Hewitt saw me first for a consultation. He knew from my symptoms that I needed some help. He ordered an MRV and helped me get the right procedures ordered. I felt like a priority from the time I met him.

I felt heard.

Yolanda the scheduler was very professional and prompt. Helping me get scheduled quickly.

Juliana, Mariana, Goli, Ghazal and Chelsea took care of me while I was there.

I was nervous for the procedure and feeling vulnerable. I also have an allergic reaction when I get exposed to cold temperatures.
It’s called Cold Urticaria.

Being in an operating room can be painful due to the cold temperatures. Mariana and Goli went above and beyond to make sure to I felt safe, covered and super warm. They used blankets, and even multiple heating packs.

After the procedure Juliana stayed with me and made sure I was feeling okay and warm. I was her last patient, but she didn’t make me feel rushed or like an inconvenience.

I just wanted everyone to know what a great experience I had.

The doctors were both intelligent and caring…highly recommend them!

I have to go back for another procedure and I’m glad it will be with the incredible Dr. Goldstein and his awesome team.

Excellent customer service and very friendly staff

Not only are the Doctors here extremely knowledgeable, but there front and back office staff are friendly and very helpful.

We are incredibly grateful to the dedicated team at [Pedes Orange County] and to Dr. Hewett and Dr. Goldstein for their ongoing care for my father. He has faced multiple vascular surgeries this year, and his recent ultrasound showed concerning findings. We were hopeful for one more procedure before year’s end to help prevent further complications.

Unfortunately, we’ve been unable to reach the team despite our best efforts, and my father’s foot condition continues to worsen. This is an urgent situation for him and our family, and we’re seeking immediate guidance and a clear plan of care.

If anyone has recommendations for:
how best to reach the care team (phone, after-hours lines, or patient portal),
alternative contact points within the same medical group or hospital,
or guidance on next steps for urgent vascular/foot care, we would be profoundly grateful.

Dr. Goldstein is very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for vein/artery conditions. Thank you!

I had such a great experience with this vascular surgery office. The doctors and the entire staff are very professional, kind, and genuinely nice people. From the beginning, everything was well organized and clearly explained, which made the whole process much less stressful.

I’m really glad I chose to have my surgery here. I had been to other facilities before, so I truly can compare - and the level of care here was noticeably better. They take their work seriously, are very knowledgeable and responsible, and they did thorough ultrasounds and follow-ups to make sure everything was done properly and working as it should.

I saw Dr. Hewett today for my initial consultation. He was kind, professional, and explained everything clearly. I felt confident in his assessment so far. While it’s hard to ease my fears given the seriousness of my medical concerns, Dr. Hewett was patient, gave me plenty of time, and didn’t rush the visit. The office was spotless, and the front desk staff and the doctor’s assistant were friendly and very competent. I also truly appreciate being seen on such short notice. Thank you!
