Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

patient centered care
Under Dr Geiger's direction, I finally felt like I was at the center of the conversation about my health, and my recovery. Thank you so much for empowering me to make good decisions about my health while I was in your care, and going forward in my life. Outstanding, thank you!

I love working with this amazing doctor. I am an RN and have worked with him on and off for approximately 20 years. He is one of the finest physicians I have ever worked with.He is diligent, compassionate and a true advocate. Us RN's admire him greatly and after a recent encounter with a patient I felt compelled to write a review. His bedside manner is perfect. He is precise, thoughtful and delivers the facts with kindness and decency. I just admire him so much and wanted to let the general public know what a good, decent person this is.

I was in ER at Saddleback last February 2023 .
Unfortunately that day DrErik Geiger was in duty there . I used to had 3 surgery there and everything was excellent but this time . He was rude , arrogant and no listening me . He ordered discharge me at 7:00 pm on a really bad weather . The nurse asking if I requested to go home and I said not actually I asked to stay overnight and he say no . I’m a 80 years old I went there for stomach pain resulting to be a blood clot , after starting to recovery hiatal hernia and Positive COVID. I able to show a document. I did not had time to dress up properly and the cleaning person started to clean the room . Very bad experience and I would like to ask someone to take this case very serious .

Dr Geiger treated my father in the hospital when he was sent to the emergency room and then the ICU. He was so informative and kept me abreast of everything going on with my Dad every step of the way. My Father ended up going home with hospice and passing away. Dr Geiger called me numerous times to inform me of my fathers status and explained everything. He even put my Father on the bipap machine to hopefully revive him for a bit so we could say our goodbyes. I was so grateful for his care of my father and his communication along every step of the way.

Dr Geiger treated my mother at Saddleback and took the time to listen to mother’s myriad of symptoms. Along With a neurologist they accurately diagnosed Mom after 18 months of trying with other medical professionals Dr Geiger took the time to talk with my sisters and I, individually and as a family unit to decide on a course of treatment. We are so happy with his care and concern for my Mom.

In a visit to Mission Hospital Emergency in Laguna beach for chest pain was told I was being ADMITTED. Several months later I received billing for "Admitted for Observation" with a billing attached. This was incorrect evidenced by verbal conversations with staff @ Mission Hospital as well as all paperwork regarding this visit. I was never informed correctly regarding this mistake. Attempts to correct this situation have resulted in denial by Dr. Geiger.He has refused to change coding! Poor!

Dr. Geiger was great. I did a gall bladder surgery study with him and he was very kind and accomodating. I was weary doing this study and he made me feel at ease.
